This will make the ammo last a bit longer.

Fires a short laser burst when you pull the trigger. I downloaded an app called iTarget that uses the phone camera to record where the shots are going, could also video it. Should help a lot with dry fire practice.
Interesting. How much and from where? :) and is it any good?Quote:

I got it off trademe, it had been there for months, then they halved the price last week so I bought it.
Here is a review

this is the iTarget system, although I only have the app, not their laser ammo

Nice, titegroup is good powder. Don't know why Hodgdon has such little use in our club, but a distributor told me that he sees powder use in pistol shooting really region based. Like everyone uses what some one else is using, I was using ap50 but with supply issues changed to much cheaper Belmont WAP.
My shadow used to barely make minor, but damn it was nice and soft to shoot
I've used them in my STI and M&P without any issues, all 5k I got last time went pop like they should.Quote:

Cheers. I have still got around 4k of a bulk CCI order. I will try some Winchester when I get a chance.Quote:

Serious Shooters were good about returning it and have swapped for a 550 now
I have no experience of 650s but they always look farkin cool..
After returning the Square B I mentioned it to a club member and he had the exact same issue with his Dillon square B and returned it for the same reason
A guy I know and respect the opinion of has a 550 and swaps out the different setups for different calibres complete with powder feeder, etc so it is setup the calibre once and away ya go - think I will head down this route too for commonly used calibres ie 9mm,45,223 and use my single stage for loading hunting ammo
I'm not wedded to any particular brand but I wouldn't touch a square B again
First 50 loads are gone, averaged 1080fps for power factor 133.

Practiced draw and fire one round double action. Need a bit of practice, was hitting to the left.
I then grabbed 50 club loads and shot them on the 25m ISSF range, probably my best 9mm target!
Attachment 62810
Looks like Primers are
Leaking ?
Nah, just put marks on base of case so I can identify which brass are mine.Quote:

@paulbrady PM sent
paulbrady took me months, I think about 6 months all up from starting paperwork through getting E/C endorsed and P2P completed
Just took me four months to get B and E endorsement.Quote:

Thanks guys I guess I will just have to wait
With the wait that can happen with the police, it's a shame if the clubs hold things up as well.
If you put in the details for PNZ to forward to the police then yes, you could be waiting on the police. I would expect your club to tick the boxes at their first committee meeting from when you gave it to them so follow up with them if you think it got missed.
Mine got missed at the club for three months, luckily to make up the police did their part in three weeks from when I handed the forms to them to when my card arrived.
Did my first mini-match IPSC shoot after getting my holster qual, this morning. Surprised myself and got 4th overall in production. Had my first 3 misses as well.
Would have been there to beat you, but back is a bit fucked. Well done.Quote:

You should pop over the hill for one of the matches if you get time, we need more people shooting Standard in Canterbury.
I have been meaning too. But I get pretty busy this time of year.Quote:

Cpc hold them monthly, and I intend to run something every couple of months ideally in Ashburton.
Steel Challenge South Islands 17th and 18th June of course.
I would love to go to the steel challenge even if it was as a spectator but I dont get home from work till the following weekend.Quote:
