Buy as many points as you can... then you have to earn the rest.

Re: gip putty or bondo
I've never had a problem getting PC Woody to stick to my grips without adding any holes. If there have been used a lot I wipe them with alcohol.

Re: gip putty or bondo
PC Woody is widely available at local stores and online. It cures quickly, is durable enough to last for years and is still pretty easy to sand, file or carve as necessary. JB Kwikwood is a little harder to modify after it hardens.

Re: Load Testing Protocols
Oh yeah, I shoot the same charge for 185 and 200gr lead bullets. I see a small difference in velocity depending on bullet weight, but no difference in accuracy or POI as long as both bullets are the same quality. This has been with Star and Zero 185 HP, SWC and 200 SWC. A chrono is not necessary for...

Re: Load Testing Protocols
Most bullseye shooters are using a taper crimp for 45. The Lee Factory Crimp die is particularly well regarded. Years ago I tested different (taper) crimps. I couldn't see a significant difference between no crimp and crimp that put a small indentation in the lead swaged (soft) bullet. Others claim ...

Re: Load Testing Protocols
First off you can spends months and years trying to find THE BEST! load for your gun. If you enjoy that sort of thing, great, go for it. For most shooters finding a decent load and practicing / training will improve scores more. IMO Your best bet is to start with a few standard loads and see what sh...

2-part epoxy putty "tootsie rolls" are good for grip modification. PC Lumber and Kwikwood are 2 very common brands.

Re: The logic of Target Sprint
I assume single loading is required because it makes it more of a penalty to miss. It used to be that misses added a time penalty in Biathlon. This made it hard for spectators to know who was really ahead because a person might finish 3 seconds ahead, but have 5 penalty seconds so they are not the w...

Re: Roughen up quickwood on grips
I use grip tape or superglue and a sample of sandblasting media I got years ago. I would think a pointed Dremel bit would work. I don't think traditional stippling with a punch and hammer is a good idea as it would probably break off chips.

Re: Chamber flag question
Precision pistol shooters are a minority of gun buyers. Those who actually dry fire regularly are a minority of competition shooters in my experience. Most guns will withstand a dry fire every now and then.
Some guns can be dry fired. My FWB manual says not to use any flag or cushion when dry firing.

Re: Suitable Dot Scope for Ruger Mk III ?
Ultra-Dot tube style red dots are extremely common on the bullseye line. 1" are lighter and cheaper. 30mm give a little bigger field of view and more dot options. 20 years ago almost all of the dots were 1" Ultra-dots. Since then lots of different options have appeared, but the 1" UD ...

Re: Air Cylinder Recertification?
it's been a long time since I worked with high pressure tanks so the rules may have changed, but it used to be that steel high pressure cylinders (SCUBA, Nitrogen, CO2 etc) could be inspected and hydro tested to recertify them for use. Aluminum tanks could not. This was a US DOT rule. I think the ma...

Re: For those of you who like to keep your guns squeaky clean !
Ignore nonsensical scare tactics… SteveT, one has to be careful about ignoring this stuff. If we don’t pay attention we could end up with legislation being enacted which we cannot live with. Bob I didn't say ignore the legislation. I said ignore the organizations that lie to us about the legislation.
