BUG at Pioneer on Saturday.
Bring a revolver...most of us are![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
Revolver, why? I have one, but it's not my thing. Unless I had some custom loads done, my 686 .357 will be a beast to compete with. If it were IDPA legal to shoot .38 from it, I might consider it....

Follow the link. Lugnut is running a "revolver friendly" match.

Most of the people who shoot SSR load .38spl to +P pressures. That being said, I don't expect there will be a chrono stage.

Why would you think shooting a 686 with .38Sp is illegal?? I'm doing it as well as others. Revolvers aren't for everyone but I'm encouraging everyone to take a chance and step out of their comfort zones! Of course you can shoot semi auto but what about that lonely wheel gun that is in the safe??

The shooting season is winding down and all of the area sanctioned matches are done until indoor nationals. The MD thought it would be fun for everyone to step outside their comfort zone and shoot revolvers. The stages are very revolver friendly (all round counts are 6, 12, or 18). No chrono at the match, Dave, what say you on factory 38 special loads?
Because factory 38sp loads don't make power factor.
Power Factor.
I don't have any of the equipment needed to run my revolver at a match. It being a "house gun" has none of the needed stuff for comp, and I never got any knowing it being a .357, shooting .38 standard pressure loads is not IDPA kosher.
I'm a 1911 guy, top to bottom, but if i make it, will bring the 686 blaster.
But mine wouldn't. That's my point. Not that anyone would care on the local level really, but as far as I know (and I am no expert on the topic) shooting standard .38 loads from a .357 does not make the PF. Am I incorrect in that?
It really depends on the .38 loads. But that is really true of many commercial 9mm loads too... there are some people that got DQ'd from santioned matches using commercial ammo from factory Glocks. Either way... come and shoot whatever you want. You can enjoy watching our reloads!
WWB value pack .38spl (130 gr) averaged 109000 out of my 4" 686SSR. The minimum was 105000.
My reloads: 158gr berry's RN, 4.4gr titegroup, 1.500" OAL (Craig Buckland load) average 131600 with a 129000 minimum. It's still a little close too close to the limit. I've got to adjust my crimp.
I have no idea what that means, but I gather there was nadda for this weekend? Oh well, maybe next weekend!
