Idaho Gunslinger

As a 36 year old in this sport, I have friends my age I have brought shooting. But I can't get any of them into the sport because the cost to join is so high when these people are neither reloaders nor own any of the right guns either. I am just fortunate enough to have a high income as an engineer and other than my gun addiction I am very fiscally responsible, as is my wife. Time is another factor. I have a Dillon XL650 that is all setup to rock n roll out 45 colt and I struggle to have the time to keep my guns fed most months. It's just hard to find time in the garage with young kids that I have to keep a close eye on (my 2 boys are hell on wheels!). As Dog Meat Dad pointed out, 22LR rounds can be bought for under 10 cents each right now. In my area the only primers in stock are also 10 cents each so it's significantly cheaper to shoot 22LR than to reload anything. So with 22LR not being an official category I think that makes it hard to hang on to new shooters who know they can't shoot at bigger matches otherwise if they so choose to in the future.

I spoke with Griner about this and he said the safety cannot be deleted on these. It's integral to the single trigger function. He did send me a stiffer spring to make it harder to activate. These guns are incredibly stiff when new and I believe they have an auto safety so they are not ideal for SASS out of the box. Ken could probably tell you more but I believe most of these gunsmiths gut a lot of the factory parts out and build a new cocking mechanism that is much lighter and smoother than factory. Each smith seems to have their own slight variations to the rebuild. I bought mine straight from Ken ready to go. I couldn't get one for less than he could so it would cheaper to buy through him.

He was asking if the update is going to make it so you can no longer stay always logged in.
