Thank you all for your suggestions. Living out here in the middle of smallville, its not easy to get first hand experience; Lots of guys here are into reloading but usually for the more "usual" pistol calibers; The problem is that anything not on shop shelves has to be travel a loooong way...

I'm just about to get into reloading and thought I should ask more experienced fellows some basic questions. I was looking at the Hornady Lock-N-Load press; I will be using this mainly for .32 wadcutter, but will almost certainly be used for .45 ACP and 38 Special as well. Does anyone here have a le...

Bill Horton makes a good case. My problem with centre hold is eyesight and I suspect its also the case with others. Years ago, young and foolish, we built a sort of diopter sight on an old Flobert pistol. It ended up looking more like an antique tube sight and if I remember well gave us aperture tro...

Darticus, my point is that, rightly or not, I seem to need a a vertical reference, and for this I use a 6 o'clock hold; If I try a subsix I go into vertical stringing. Dont know if I'm wrong , but I am equating this with your mention of to using a marker line as reference. Naturally, I am not saying...

My shooting shows a similar effect as darticus mentions in both AP and now CF. So much so that I have given up sub 6 and just go for what seems to me a near 6 o'clock hold. Whatever I do, I appear to need a rock solid foundation vertical reference. I dont want to appear presumptuos and say that my m...

Interesting posts by pmessina and Richard H . The scope of the original question concerned the very nature of learning the shooting process. It seemed to me that shooting requires us to learn some very minute inputs; The result of what looks like cybernetic positive feedback in the brain-sensor acti...

Does anybody know about or come across a Nowlin High Master 1911 ? Came across one for sale and was considering it for bullseye, but could not find any references to this particular model. It looks very much like the Match Master presently being produced. I was wondering as to Long Line accuracy, ha...

Interesting Gary. May I ask if that is early or late in the morning? About 30 mins after we wake up we have a surge of the stress hormone cortisol; Makes us irritable enough to dispell sleepiness, but perhaps not a good precursor for quality shooting, however this does not last long. Hopwever about ...

The scope of this question is to find the best possible training period when you are best in tune to execute action and absorb benefits through feedback of the natural learning process. It appears that some instances during the cycle are better siuted than others for a particular action. For example...

I was refering to planning training schedules.

Dwell time advantage ?

I wonder which would be the best time to train in the various aspects of shooting in our circadian rythm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Biological_clock_human.svg Certainly, there might be some adjustments in individual cases, BUT since shooting is a sport that requires a particular set of cordi...

This idea must be opposed at all levels. I have spend the good part of 20 years dealing with legislators, politicians at national and international level; Some lessons learnt: 1) Legislators will follow the path of least possible "damage potential" and accountability. They are not there at...

For what its worth my limited view : Having shot both 32 Auto (FAS) and a S&W M14, special Single Action in 38, I found that the autopistol far more forgiving of bad technique. I came away with two distinct impressions after shooting this particular revolver: 1) It does not point naturally. 2) N...

Food for thought.
Thanks for the tip David !

Interesting. It would be great if we could have a copy of the ISSF letter concerning the conformity of H&N copper plated bullets, with our kit when we shoot matches. I will be flying into Italy over the weekend for a friendly match and at least 2 of our team members will be using such projectile...

Hmm yes David, I see what you mean... almost no white paper and variable background/contrast. Perhaps one has to develop a certain feel for alignment while on the black; In my case it could very well be a case of trusting in the "force". I guess my general approach is too technical and hav...

Thanks guys, worked it out now.

David, I am ok with area aiming while waiting for the shot. My problem is that I ( or my mind) have trouble with sight alignment while on the black. Sight alignment fundumentals are so ingrained in my brain that any lack of information feedback in this area, throws me off. Might try to wind up my FA...

David's advice to stay clear of ambiguity is wise. However, my guts are not at peace. For a start it may well be that copper "washed" projectiles do not fall foul of the primary intent behind the jacket ban; This being danger from richocets. The second is that some of the better made washe...
