The match sounds fun but you're far away I think. I've been itching to get into matches. I did 2 that a local range out on and won them both. They were zombie themed 3-gun shoots. They did about 6 but I only got into the first one and the last one. Won them both though. First time I ever realized I was kinda good at thisI've got a defensive pistol match on Saturday. My Canik barrel is out being throated, I haven't had a chance to shoot the 5906 nor do I have a holster for it yet. That leaves me shooting a 1911 which I had kind of planned on anyway.
I went out and loaded up 398 rounds of .45 ACP. 4.2 gr WST under a RBS 201KT. Mixed brass and S&B primers. I put all the rounds through my seven hole EGW case gauge and they all passed with flying colors.
I had loaded 300 rounds of this same load about 10 days ago but shot some at my last range trip. The match is scheduled for around 120 rounds so I decided to be safe rather than sorry.
I do love the Dillon 650, it's quick and easy to make a lot of good ammo.
I had one piece of cracked brass and one primer somehow went in sideways. I've still got some movement in my bench so I'm blaming the sideways primer on that.
If ya want to shoot a fun match this Saturday come out to Terrell Rifle and Pistol Club. Everyone is welcome. You'll need a holster as we draw and fire from the holster. Match starts at 0900. Be there early to register and for the safety briefing. Cost is $15, I think, for non-members.
Another note to self: don't ever load 1000 rounds without testing g the damn things first!!!

Only if you save the brass.Does explosively disassembling rounds at the range count?
Fake sneeze causing you to jerk the trigger and pull the shot!Spent $300
Got 50 pieces of brass and 40 bullets coming.
By the end of summer I will smile at the loud ring of a steel silhouette at 1800+ yards away.

Yep. I promise to do my best to combat my "allergies ."The people I shoot with would probably do it. I’ve gotten good at ignoring them.

I tightened down my seating die a little and a little extra snug on the crimp die. Ran a hand full of those botched 45s through and bumped them down to 1.165". I took a black marker and colored a few and chambered. It seems that the bullet itself was getting stuck in the barrel, not the brass in the chamber. Exactly what I thought was happening.
I'm gonna do about 50 or 100 of them this way and take them to the range. They're cycling fine in the garage but we'll see what happens at the range. I think they would work fine for n any other 45 but the XDm has a pretty tight barrel I guess. Either way, I'm just gonna buy some HAPs and stick with those for this pistol after I figure these guys out.

Absolutely!!!Only if you save the brass.
Isn't that just for feed issue from the magazine? I throated a Makarov to take hollow points one time. Just opened up the feed ramp a little. My problem is at the case mouth.
