What’s Inside:Re: “How to Choose a Gun Range.” [September 2019]

Basically, I enjoyed the article; however, there is oneissue that was noticeably absent, namely the use of “hand-loads” at your range. I don’t know of an indoor range thatallows the use of “handloads.” I suspect the “reason” involvesthe insurance industry. How do we educate those who createthe no-handloads rules? Great new format for The Blue Press.

Jim Wineman – [email protected], I shoot at a couple of indoor ranges where the only thingthey ask me is whether or not my ammo is magnetic. Yourrange might want to decrease liability and increase profits byselling ammo they’re sure won’t damage their backstop.

I’ve been on your mailing list for quite a few years. I alwaysenjoy the catalogs and have been dreaming about a pro-

gressive press.This last December – while I was at the range –someone delivered a brand-new-in-the-box Dillon XL 650!None of my friends or family will admit to doing it. I have noidea who it came from. But nonetheless, I am a Dillon ownerand you sold a machine to someone. I’m loving this thing! Ijust recently added a casefeeder to it. Thanks for beingpatient with me and making a quality product!

By Duane ThomasThe sad truth is the .45 ACP cartridge isn’t nearly as

popular as it was, even as recently as 10 years ago. Theshort answer to the question of “Why did the .45 ACPfail?” is easy: The 9mm Parabellum killed it. Or at leastcritically wounded it. These days, only the most hide-bound reactionaries still buy into that tired old “.45hardball will stop a man 19 times out of 20 if you hithim in the chest” myth. Results from the street haveshown there’s no real difference in overall stopping per-formance between the popular service autopistol car-tridges. Once we accept that 9mm and .45 work thesame, it’s awfully hard to justify choosing a more heavi-ly recoiling gun carrying less ammo, when we could bechoosing a more lightly recoiling gun with more ammo.

Also, let’s not kid ourselves, there’s the influence ofthe FBI. We gun nuts can sit and argue and nitpick theFBI’s ammunition test protocols, but we cannot denythe power “It was approved by the FBI” has in lawenforcement circles. When the FBI re-adopted the9mm, after exhaustive and well-publicized ammunitiontests, that was a huge boost to the 9mm’s popularity inAmerican law enforcement, and effectively ended itsunsatisfactory affair with the .40 S&W. The military hasbeen relying on 9mm as primary service standard forwell over 30 years. The normal citizenry tends to follow

the lead of the police and military in cartridge choice.Unless, of course, their choice sucks. See: .40 S&W;which, while temporarily popular among law enforce-ment agencies, never made much inroad among thenormal citizenry.

The overall length of the .45 ACP cartridge is such itrequires a large-frame gun. Even .45 ACP “compacts”are just cut-down large-frame autos. While .45 com-pacts are smaller than true service-sized guns, the samegun chambered for 9mm, all else being equal, will besmaller and lighter. And probably hold more ammo.Attempts to design high-capacity .45 ACP autos, builtaround doublestack magazines, proved that stuffingeven three-quarters as much .45 ammo into a maga-zine as can easily fit into a doublestack 9mm magresults in a magazine – and therefore a grip – too largefor the average human hand.

Over the decades, our perception of what constitutesa service-sized handgun, and what constitutes a con-cealment gun, has changed. In decades past, the ColtCommander (aka the Lightweight Commander) wasregarded as a primo concealed carry gun, “the choiceof the true handgun martial artist.” These days the GLOCK

17 is considered a full-sized police duty holster gun,and it’s the same overall size as a Commander but holdstwice as much ammo – and is actually lighter both

Why the .45 ACPFAILED

The .45 ACP’s primary home is the 1911 autopistol. While a custom 1911 .45 gives pride of ownership, there areless expensive, smaller, lighter, higher-capacity, and probably more reliable options available in today’s world.


^ 11Blue Press!

unloaded and fully-loaded. Similarly, a GLOCK 19 is thesame overall size as a Colt Officer’s ACP – but holds 16rounds instead of seven. To many people, the larger sizeand greater weight of a .45, coupled with its heavierrecoil and lesser capacity, no longer makes sense.

Mistakes have been made in ammunition design,contributing to the .45 ACP’s waning popularity as adefense round. There’s now a serious emphasis ondesigning bullets that expand reliably in ballistic gela-tin. While that’s great per se, it’s led to most .45 hol-lowpoint loads today having a truncated cone bulletshape, because, compared to a more generouslyrounded, hardball-like ogive, with the same-size hol-low cavity, with a TC profile the bullet walls are thin-ner. Unfortunately, the 1911 is notorious for not reli-ably feeding TC bullets. And the 1911 is the primaryhome of the .45 ACP. So ammunition companies decid-ed to turn out .45 ACP combat loads that will pre-dictably not reliably feed in the primary weapon typefor which the cartridge is chambered.

As .45 ACP hollowpoints have become less feed reli-able, their velocities have also increased, leading torecoil too heavy for most people to easily control. Afew years ago I did a review of common .45 ACP self-defense-oriented hollowpoints. Okay, we all know theclassic velocity spec for a 230-grain bullet in .45 ACP is830 feet per second. Every 230-grain hollowpoint I test-ed had velocities in the high-800s to low-900s. Thatmight not sound like a big difference, but it is. A 230-grain bullet at 900 fps generates a 207 power factor. Togive you some idea of the recoil level we’re talkingabout here, USPSA/IPSC considers Major power factorto be 165. That extra velocity does make those hollow-points expand, though. But if we accept that stoppingpower is bullets hitting flesh, it doesn’t matter how reli-ably the bullet expands if the guns chambering it havesuch heavy recoil most people can’t fire them fast andaccurately under stress.

As far as I’m concerned, when you drive a 230-grainbullet that hard, you lose the great advantage of the .45ACP, that you can put out a big, heavy bullet at moder-ate velocity, and still have a gun that’s readily control-lable. Now, I’m not criticizing .45 ACP +P ammunitionin this regard. This is specialty ammo, in my opinionmore appropriate for hunting. We EXPECT that stuff tohave heavy recoil.

So, at a time when the 9mm was coming on strong,the .45 ACP was being taken out of contention, withammunition that would not feed reliably in 1911s, andrecoil too heavy for most shooters.

As the .45 ACP’s fortunes as a self-defense roundhave fallen, the same has occurred to its use in compe-tition. Cameron Hopkins, former editor of AmericanHandgunner magazine and current owner of Super Vel,is an unreconstructed .45 ACP 1911 fan. He comment-

ed to me, “I was shooting the Iron Sights Nationals inSt. George, Utah in 2017; this was the largest IPSCmatch I’ve ever shot, it was a three-day match with wellover 600 people signed-up for it. The morning of thesecond day, the RO was scoring my targets on a stage,he said to me, ‘Wow, those are some really big bulletholes, what are you shooting?’ I said, ‘Just a 200-grainsemi-wadcutter .45 ACP.’ I was thinking, ‘What’s thebig deal, we’ve all seen that before.’ I asked him, ‘Howmany people have you seen shooting a .45 out here atthe match?’ His answer: ‘Including you? Two.’”

By the second day of a three-day match with over600 shooters, we would expect at that point at least200 people had shot that stage. Only two .45s? Are youkidding me?

Hopkins also said, ”Just the weekend before last, Iwas shooting the Magnus Cup, which drew 400-plusshooters from all over the world. They require chrono-graphing of every competitor’s ammo; they take eightrounds from each shooter, one of which is pulled toverify the bullet weight. The Range Officer seemed tobe taking an inordinate amount of time fussing with myammo and the bullet puller. Another RO came over tohelp him. They both messed with it and finally gave up.‘We can’t fit this in the bullet puller so we’ll have totrust you. What does your bullet weigh?’ Their bulletpuller couldn’t accept the fat .45 ACP case! I lookedhim right in the eye and said, ‘Why, that’s a .45 calibersemi-wadcutter. Seven hundred and fifty grains.’”

When the people running the chrono at a major matchcan’t even figure out how to get a round of .45 ACP intotheir bullet puller, you know the cartridge is, to put itkindly, no longer popular in combat pistol matches.

A few years ago, I was out at the Firearms Academyof Seattle, and on their main range there was a 55-gal-lon drum they were using as a brass bucket. I said toMarty Hayes, head man at FAS, “Hey, you mind if I godumpster diving for some 9mm brass?” Marty replied,“You can have the entire thing if you want. All I ask isyou give me the .45 ACP and .357 Magnum.” Fortu-nately the drum was only about half full, but that’s stilla lot of weight. Picture the two of us lifting that heavything into the back of my car. It took me a LONG timeto go through all those cases, but I did.

This gave me a really interesting look into exactlywhich cartridges were being fired on the main range ata well-known shooting school. In first place – and Imean nothing else was even close – was 9mm Parabel-lum. I scavenged an immense amount of 9mm brassout of that drum. I actually felt guilty I was only able togive Marty one small, partial box of .45 ACP cases. Andsince Marty is a .45 ACP 1911 guy, I’m pretty sure he’dfired those.

These days, when I go to the range and shoot .45ACP, which I do on a fairly regular basis, I’m focused

on retrieving every single empty case. Which is easyto do, actually, because I’m the only guy on therange shooting a .45. More 9mm brass I can alwayspick up, that stuff is everywhere. More .45 ACPbrass, not so much. Now I know how those .38Super shooters feel.

While the fortunes of the .45 ACP have waned, youwould expect the same to be true of the 1911 autopis-tol to which it’s so inextricably linked. And it is true.The 1911 is also not nearly as popular as it used to be.As recently as 10 years ago, it seemed like a new com-pany was entering the 1911 market every week. Okay,a bit of an exaggeration. But I can’t think of a singlecompany over the last five years that’s begun building1911s. Among those already building them, designevolution is pretty dead. What design efforts are stillbeing put into the 1911 tend to be focused on makingit work as a 9mm.

Washington State, where I reside, has a long tradi-tion of “combat” pistol match competition. (I havebeen told the Renton Fish & Game Club is one of theoldest IPSC clubs in America.) Thus there was a timethe 1911 .45 auto was a very popular carry gun inWashington. Years ago, famous firearms instructor JohnFarnam, while teaching a class here, commented, “Ihaven’t seen so many cocked and locked 1911 .45s inone place since the last time I went to Gunsite.” These

days, among my circle of personal acquaintances, I cancount the number of people carrying 1911s on onehand and have fingers left over.

SUMMARYI’ve been of a mind to do this article for a while. In

the March 2016 Blue Press, I had an article publishedtitled “Why the .45 GAP Failed,” an examination ofmistakes made with the .45 GLOCK Action Pistol car-tridge, and the guns chambered for it, that led it to flopon the marketplace. Shortly thereafter I got an emailfrom a guy saying, “Well, a friend of mine is an ex-Navy SEAL and he carries a GLOCK 30 and he told meit’s an awesome cartridge.” My reply was, “The GLOCK

30 is chambered for .45 ACP. My article was on the .45GAP. Completely different cartridge.” However, this ledme to joke, “I should do an article titled ‘Why the .45ACP Failed.’ Now THAT would get people’s attention.”Thing is, no one to whom I said that – and I’m talkingpeople high up in the power structure at gun compa-nies, aftermarket parts companies, shooting sports andgun magazines – thought the article was a bad idea.And no one thought it was untrue.

The .45 ACP cartridge will be with us for a long timeto come. It’s one of history’s great handgun cartridges,and still one of my personal favorites. However, its daysof greatest popularity are behind it. A sad truth indeed.But a sad truth is a truth nonetheless.

A Smith & Wesson Commander-sized 1911 laid over aGLOCK 17. At one time, the Commander was a first-choice

concealment gun among handgun martial artists. Today it’s the same overall size as a GLOCK 17, which isconsidered a full-sized police duty gun. Actually, theCommander is longer if you count its beavertail and

cocked hammer, albeit considerably flatter.

CV-2001 – The Industry Standard Dillon’s CV-2001 Vibratory Case Cleaner is one of the

largest in the industry. Its 12-1/2 quart bowl capacity willallow you to polish up to 1,300 .38/.357 or 550 .30-06 casesper hour. Not only is our capacity greater than most, but ourmotor is also larger in horsepower, internally cooled,thermally protected, and turns on precision ball bearings.This is no “hobby” machine! The bowl and base areconstructed of 7/32” thick injection molded high-strengthpolypropylene which is impact and abrasion resistant.

Case/Media SeparatorsAfter we sold thousands of our famous first generation FL-

2000 case cleaners, customers who had purchased thembegan asking us to address the problem of separating thecleaned and polished brass from the cleaning media. Weknew from the beginning that the simplest method ofseparating would be a rotating squirrel cage, but we had tofind a design we could manufacture economically. Ourproblem was that it had to be BIG – big enough to handle theentire load of the FL-2000 series case cleaners. The solutionwas an injection molded reversible part. Simple, and it works

great. Our device is large, 10” x 14”, and will hold morethan 1,600 .38 Special cases. It sits on a large mediacollection tub that measures 18” x 22”. The tub keeps themess off the floor and bench. It’s fast – so fast it will removemedia from 1500 rounds of .223 brass in a matter of seconds.

Limited Work Space?Dillon’s introducing the new CV-750 heavy duty Vibratory

Case Cleaner for those with limited space. This new casecleaner uses the same motor as the CV-2001 and is every bitas tough – just more compact. To accompany the CV-750, theCM-500 does the same job as the larger CM-2000Case/Media Separator; and, like the CV-750, handles justabout half the capacity of the larger unit. Although scaleddown in size, these two pieces of equipment are every bit astough as their full-sized counterparts. We used the samematerials in their construction and designed them to workjust as hard – and do it in a more compact area!CV 2001^, US 110v P60-20493 $191.95CV-750^, US 110v P60-19455 146.95Euro 220v CV-2001^ P60-22047 216.95Euro 220v CV-750^ P60-19473 171.95

pushing the case into the die to size it, anelectric motor driving a carbide cutter at 4500RPM is trimming the case to length. Chips aredrawn off through a vacuum manifold thatclamps to the outside of the special size/trimdie. (Vacuum cleaner and hose not included.)The RT 1500 is equipped with a quick-

1. First gun you ever fired?Gabby: Walther GSP .22 long rifle.Becky: My dad’s hunting rifle...I think. I wasmaybe 4. It was loud, and made me respect guns!

2. What’s your favorite gun?Gabby: That is a hard question. I loved 2011pistols, but my new favorite is the Walther Q5 SteelFrame I use in Carry Optics.Becky: My 2011 built by Craig Nelson. It has anamazing trigger; the gun is just built well and a joyto shoot.

3. Do you have any rituals before you shoot?Gabby: I do. I breathe deeply three times and openmy eyes slightly wider than normal. And lastly, Isay to myself, “I am READY!”Becky: Not really. I try to stop when I’m in thehole, check my gun and mags, go over optics (if it’s

3 Gun), and run the stage in my head a few times,visualizing my sights on the target.

4. What’s the one thing you wish you could changeabout the gun industry?

Gabby: I would love to see more companiessponsoring high school and college shootingevents. They are the future and they need oursupport.Becky: Perceptions about why people own gunsand who uses them. That comes down to the needfor better marketing on the part of the firearmsindustry. We see a lot of companies opting toshowcase tattoos instead of people who truly workwith firearms. Humanizing people who work withguns is a step in the right direction. It’s a steptoward sharing the truth about who the people arethat use and build firearms and why.

5. Most useless thing you own?Gabby: A cow bell.Becky: I have a church pew that is mitered to fit ina corner. I hauled it home from a local “towncleanup” where people put anything andeverything on the curb and you are free to take itbefore the trash guys haul it all away. My husbandand boys threatened to burn it last year…I stillhave it. It’s going to go on the porch of a cabin.

6. Favorite food?Gabby: Wagyu steak. Becky: Pizza! Wood-fired, vegetable, chicken,white sauce, deep dish, thin crust...all of the pizza.After pizza, I’ll eat literally everything butpepperoni and tuna and things with mayonnaise.

7. Favorite place on Earth?Gabby: Anywhere I am with my family. Asidefrom that I love and miss the beautiful Venezuelanbeaches.Becky: I love skiing, the beach and water...but I’dhave to say mountains. Growing up in themidwest, I’m always in awe of the mountains andgrandeur of this planet! I want to see it all.

8. Most annoying thing about you?Gabby: I move things around the house, and then Iforget where I put them. My husband says I hide

them so well, not even I can find them. LOL!Becky: I don’t do anything halfway and I do thatwithout much sleep.

9. Craziest thing you’ve ever done?Gabby: I was 22 years old when I moved to the USby myself. I left behind my family, college, and theopportunity to go to the Olympic Games in Athens2004.Becky: Hiked 24 miles in the Grand Canyon on 4thof July, while pregnant with my middle son, to seeHavasu Falls. I puked, there were scorpions, wesaw pretty things…. Next time, I want thehelicopter or the donkey ride in.

10. Dream job?Gabby: Traveling around the world as amotivational public speaker.Becky: Cleaning workbenches in shops ofgunsmiths I want to learn from. My dadgunsmithed for Krieger Barrels for 30-plus years,and I think you can learn a lot from watchingpeople, seeing what tools they use, and soaking upwhatever information they have.

11. Who has inspired you the most?Gabby: My parents. Becky: Artists and rebels. I have a soft spot forpeople brave enough to speak up when othersfound it easier to keep quiet. I’m not a “keep quietto save my skin” kind of person. Patrick Henry ishigh on my list...I loved reciting his speech as a kidin school. And I had an Iranian painting teacher inart school who fled her country and religiouspersecution.

12. Who would play you in a movie?Gabby: Halle Berry.Becky: A character that people think is a ditzyblonde. Meanwhile, she’s learning all the thingsthey’re walking right past. She also would be ableto read minds. I’ve been accused of reading minds,and told that my intuition for people is really good.

13. If you could have a conversation with anyonefrom the past, who would it be?

Gabby: Jesus Christ.Becky: Ansel Adams. I’d like to know how he saw

light and what he saw that made him pay attentionto it so.

14. Who’s in your regular crew?Gabby: My husband and my son. Becky: My family: husband, Mark, sons: Tim (21),Sean (19) and Andrew (15). One of the things I loveabout competition shooting is that your “crew” canchange from match to match. We have spent timewith people from all over the country and world,and my international friends are some of the mostamazing benefits to practical shooting.

15. Words to live by?Gabby: There is no turning back, live life to thefullest!Becky: “There will be sleeping enough in thegrave.” (See #8 above)

By Connie BowlbyWhen you show up at a match, do you notice all

the volunteers running around like worker-bees build-ing targets and setting up the stages? I knew it washappening but when I started shooting ASI (ActionShooting International) I was so focused on just gettingthrough the match, I didn’t notice much else. As I gotmore comfortable with my shooting, I started to noticemore of what goes on behind the scenes. With more ofmy brain free to wonder about how a range and amatch works, I have started helping with small taskslike registration in the Stat Shack at Renton Fish andGame for the ASI matches. I am also an ASI RO (RangeOfficer) and help with running some of the shootersthrough the stages in my squad. So, in November oflast year, I was asked if I wanted to volunteer to be theMatch Director at the March 2019 ASI match held atRenton Fish and Game. I was a little nervous, I’lladmit, but I agreed to do it.

Of course, as March got closer I lost track of the factthat I had volunteered. I was down with the flu for achunk of February. The Monday before the match Ireceived the standard email sent out to volunteers ask-ing us to start checking in for the upcoming match. Ipanicked. How was I gonna pull this off? After I pan-icked, I took a deep breath and realized that I wouldn’thave to do this alone. Everyone I have ever met whileshooting has been there because they love this sportand want to help. The ASI match at Renton Fish andGame usually has a great turn out and is one of myfavorite matches to shoot. We registered 66 shootersthat day and several of them were already making tar-gets and setting up the bays when Andrew and Iarrived. All I had to do was make sure that each bayand stage matched what I had selected.

The Match Director is there to make sure everythingat a match gets done. This is best achieved by recruiting

volunteers for each task. Responsibilities include plan-ning the match, choosing the stages, and assigning thevolunteers to set-up before and teardown stages afterthe match. Registration, stats, and cash reconciliation isbest assigned to someone with the computer skills touse the tablets and post the final match scores. This per-son would also handle the cash distribution, makingsure the Range and ASI are both paid accordingly. TheMD is still ultimately responsible for that distribution.The MD has the final say in any scoring disputesbetween a shooter and an RO. If there is a safety-relat-ed issue such as a round leaving the range or an acci-dental discharge of a firearm, the MD is notified by theRO and a decision is made about disqualification ofthe shooter involved. The details would then be record-ed and included in the final match report to the range’sBoard of Directors.

Mike Meisner is an ASI RO and RO instructor. He isvery active in volunteering his time and attends manyof the matches. He graciously agreed to handle theNSO (new shooter orientation). ASI was designed forfirearm owners with no competitive shooting experi-ence. Safety and gun-handling skills are emphasized.That day we had several new shooters. In his NSO,Mike always explains the range rules and location ofthe safe areas. He gives a brief explanation about whatto expect during the match including scoring and rangecommands. This allows each shooter to understandwhat is expected of them. He reinforces the Four Uni-versal Gun Safety Rules and encourages the first-timeASI shooters to focus on the Range Officer’s com-mands. Better to be slow and safe than too fast for theirability. Speed comes with solid fundamentals.

I was most uncomfortable with the public speakingportion of being a Match Director. I welcomed every-one to the match and briefly explained what toexpect. Normally, we shoot about five stages at Ren-

My Turn to Volunteer: ASI Match Director

ton Fish and Game, but after all the snow we weredealt in February, Bays 1-3 were still covered with acouple inches of ice and were unusable. I was forcedto set up stages in Bays 4-7 and could only plan for atotal of four stages. Of course, as I stood on the podi-um in front of everyone, I was nervous but it went justfine. There were a few announcements made aboutupcoming matches. I wished everyone a great matchand then it was over. Whew! I think everyone had agood time and several people thanked me for my con-tribution. Feels good to give back.

A couple months later, Andrew was asked lastminute to be the Match Director at (ISA) InterlakeSporting Association for the June ASI match. There is asmall but very active group of volunteers who handlethe ASI matches at ISA. However, for this match severalof them were shooting other matches or otherwiseunavailable. The Friday evening before the matchAndrew and I went out to the range to see what neededto be done. Stanley Lewis is one of those members andhe had already selected the stages for the match, andwas starting to set up. I helped by stapling 40 card-board targets and my hand. Ouch! I taped and paintedthe hard cover, made the non-threat targets and theheadshot targets. Andrew and Stanley set up the targetstands and the barrels, barricades and walls for each ofthe six stages, and carted them all to each bay. The nextmorning Andrew and a couple volunteers put all the

targets in place and made sure the stages were set upcorrectly before the match. Sometimes you have aplethora of volunteers and sometimes you have just afew. This made me grateful and a little humbled tounderstand first-hand what the volunteers are responsi-ble for and how lucky we are to have each and everyone of them.

We had 36 people register at ISA that day includingone new shooter. Everyone had a great time and wehad no safety-related issues. Another successful ASImatch. At the Renton match I was asked a couple timesthat day if I knew what makes a successful MatchDirector. It was quickly pointed out to me that I washelping too much and not doing enough delegatingand telling others what to do. That is the secret. A cou-ple months later, I met the match director in Missoula,Montana when we traveled there for the GSSF (GLOCK

Sport Shooting Foundation) match in June. He was avery nice man who explained to me the three “D”s ofmatch directing: Decide, Delegate and then Disappear.

I hope you will look a little more closely at thenext match you attend. We are so lucky to have asolid community around the shooting we do here inthe Pacific Northwest. Maybe even try your hand atbeing the Match Director. It’s important to help culti-vate the next generation of shooters and continue thisincredible sport for many years to come. Hope to seeyou out there.

Sizing/Depriming Die (Pistol)Our sizing/depriming dies feature a “floating decap assembly”

with a snap spring that throws the spent primer off the pin andeliminates the primer “draw back” that often occurs whendecapping military brass. The primary feature of Dillon’s size diedesign is the long, tapered carbide ring with a radiused opening.That radiused opening, and its importance to progressivereloading, is one of the reasons why our seat and crimp dies arebetter. We found a way of manufacturing these dies that hasenabled us to make the lead-in radius even bigger! The biggerradius makes progressive loading with our equipment evensmoother – but that’s still only a part of the story.Bullet Seating Die (Pistol)

Our quick-disassembly seat die allows the user to disassembleand clean the seating die without losing adjustment. In thismanner, bullet lube and shavings can be quickly removed fromthe die, thereby guaranteeing a constant seating depth. We’veincorporated a “flip-flop” seating stem and a clip that enablesyou to remove the die insert and change the seating stem fromround nose to semi-wadcutter without unscrewing a seatingstem. Dillon’s double-ended design makes it simple to remove apin, reverse the seating stem, make any minor seating depthadjustments that may be necessary and go on loading in afraction of the time.Crimp Die (Pistol)

We’ve made it easy for you to remove the die insert forcleaning without having to change the critical crimp adjustment.Once your crimp die is set for the proper amount of crimp, you’llnever have to change it. This is especially good news for all ofyou who load lead bullets! Before, you had to unscrew the diefrom the toolhead and disassemble the die in order to removeany bullet lube or lead residue. Then, you had to start fromsquare one to re-adjust the crimp. Those days are over. All youhave to do now is pop a clip and the die insert drops into yourhand for cleaning.

Sizing/Depriming Die (Rifle)The sizing/depriming die is full-length, to minimum tolerances,

sizing cases down to function in semi- and full-automatic firearms.We strongly suggest that a headspace case gage be used to correctlyadjust the size die.

For high volume users, such as commercial reloaders, lawenforcement agencies, and high power or service riflecompetitors, we also offer .223 and .308 die sets with a full-length carbide sizing die. Lubrication is still required, but theincreased scratch resistance and die longevity of carbide are ofgreat benefit to these groups of users.

The depriming assembly includes a carbide expander ball for“squeak-free,” effortless neck expansion. This expander ball islocated in the middle of the depriming stem to take advantage ofsuperior initial leverage for easier extraction.

In the event of a stuck case, the design of the deprimingassembly allows it to function as a stuck case remover.Bullet Seating Die (Rifle)

Our bullet seating die is internally designed to keep thebullet straight throughout the seating process. Once properlyadjusted, the only measurable runout will be that which isinherent in the bullet.Taper Crimp Die (Rifle)

The taper crimp die is also specially configured to center boththe case neck and the case body, thereby aligning the entirecartridge for a more uniform crimp. Dillon Rifle Dies are designedto meet the more rigid requirements for both accuracy andprecision demanded by today’s marksman.

A taper crimp die is preferred for loading ammunition intendedto be used in semiautomatic firearms with detachable boxmagazines, and in lever-action firearms with tubular magazines.

Dillon’s RL 550 has long wornthe title of “The World’s

Most Versatile ProgressiveReloader,” and stripping it downto its most basic form – Dillon’sBL (Basic Loader) 550 – adds awhole new dimension of

versatility for the shooter/hunter who needs to feed severalrifles. The BL 550 is essentially an RL 550 without theautomatic priming and powder systems. Capable of loadingover 160 calibers – just like the RL 550 – it uses anymanufacturer’s standard 7/8” x 14 reloading dies. It’s pricedcomparably with other manufacturers’ turret presses; yetunlike them, it’s fully upgradeable to Dillon’s Progressive RL550 loader! The interchangeable toolhead (Page 15) makes itquick, easy and inexpensive to change calibers. Theadditional toolheads are $26.95 each, or $24.95 each if you

buy three or more – if you load for several rifles it’s a no-brainer! Once you get your dies adjusted, you’ll never have tore-set them. A powder measure adapter is available if youwant to use a manual measure that you already own. Or, ifyou want to weigh every powder charge you load, it’s easy –you can use a powder trickler with the powder die/funnelassembly that comes with the BL 550.AUTO PRImE SySTEm^ P60-16627 $90.95PRImER SySTEm EARLy wARNINgÂllows you to focus on loading instead of worrying about failing toseat a primer, and is an easy slip-on attachment to the auto primesystem.

John Marshall on Classic Firearms:The date was May 23, 1934. Clyde Barrow and his

girlfriend Bonnie Parker were racing down acountry road in Louisiana in a stolen 1933 Ford

V8, hell-bent on their way to make yet another bankrobbery. The pair was already responsible for numerousother robberies, and also for as many as 17 viciousmurders in the process. A carefully assembled lawenforcement team headed by legendary former TexasRanger Frank Hamer had spent 102 days of sleuthing tofigure out where the two were and where they wereheaded. Hamer had painstakingly studied Barrow’s pat-terns of movement, and these patterns fit a tip hereceived that Bonnie and Clydewere on their way to a rural bankin Bienville Parish, Louisiana tomake an unauthorized withdraw-al. It was well known that the twowere well armed and that Barrowhad vowed he would never betaken alive. Figuring the probableroute of their travel, Hamer had“persuaded” the father of one of Bar-row’s friends and known accom-plices near that road to act as adecoy to stop the car so anambush could take place. Thepolice took up positions and wait-ed for hours. Finally, at 9:15 thatmorning, the stolen car was seencareening down the road toward theambush site, just as anticipated. Thedecoy waved his arms as the carapproached, and Barrow, recognizing the man, sloweddown and stopped near him. That was his fatal mistake.

The lawmen visibly deployed, and Bonnie and Clydewere cut off from escape. There were six men in theposse – four Texas officers and two Louisiana lawmen.All were armed to the teeth with rifles, shotguns andhandguns. Two of them, Hamer and Sheriff’s DeputyPrentiss Oakley, carried Remington Model 8 semiauto-matic rifles. Barrow, in the driver’s seat, looked aroundfrantically for a way out. There was none. One of theofficers called Barrow out, but there was no response.Deputy Oakley, well-known as a crack marksman,responded immediately, using his Model 8 chamberedin .35 Remington to fire the first shot of the daythrough Barrow’s left temple, killing him instantly. Over130 shots were then fired into the car, and BonnieParker’s life was snuffed out quickly.

When the smoke cleared, there was no doubt aboutthe deadly outcome. The Swiss-cheesed car eventuallywound up on display in a Las Vegas casino.

The future Remington Model 8 was designed andpatented on October 16, 1900 by John Moses Brown-ing, who sold the patent rights to Remington. He at thattime also worked on what was to become the Brown-ing Auto-5 shotgun. The rifle and the shotgun sharedthe same long-stroke recoil operating system. For thefirst five years after its introduction in 1906, the riflewas known only as the “Remington Autoloading Rifle.”It became the Model 8 in 1911. This was the first semi-automatic rifle capable of reliably firing full-power car-tridges on a par with thepopular .30-30 Win-

chester. The innovative rifle had a 22”fully-jacketed reciprocating barrel. Thefixed-in-place box magazine could be filledusing stripper clips. Four then-new roundswere developed for the Model 8. The first wasthe .35 Remington, then the .30 Remington in1907, and then finally the .32 and .25 Remington. The.35 Remington magazine had a capacity of 4 rounds,while the others could accommodate 5.

John Browning entered into an agreement with Fab-rique Nationale (FN) in Belgium to make this rifle asthe FN Model 1900. Sales were restricted to areas out-side of the United States. This model was made from1910 to 1929, with only mediocre sales. A total of4,913 were produced and sold, mostly in Europe andCanada. They are found only rarely today in the U.S.

In operation, the bolt (with a rotating bolt head) andthe barrel, locked together, recoil to the rear in firingwhile compressing a pair of recoil springs. Then thebolt is retained to the rear while the barrel moves for-ward by one of the springs as extraction and ejectiontake place. Then the bolt is released and returned for-ward by the second spring, in the process stripping

Remington Models 8 & 81 Semiautomatic Riflesanother round from the magazine and chambering it.The bolt has a hold-open mechanism that activateswhen the magazine is empty. The Model 8 can be takendown for transportation, as the barrel and receiver willeasily separate without the need for tools.

Remington went full-bore with its promotional adver-tising for its new rifle, and professional artwork showedhunters confronting bears, wolves, and other intimidat-ing animals with it. The idea was conveyed that here

was a powerful, fast-acting and reliable semiautomaticrifle that could be counted on in desperate situations. Itworked. Sales were brisk, not only among civilians, butalso by police organizations, who often had their riflesmodified to take extended magazines.

In 1936, with improvements by Remington’s C.C.Loomis, the Model 8 became the Model 81 Woodsmas-ter. In 1937, the .25 Remington caliber was dropped,

making 81s in that chambering rare collector items. In1940, it was also offered in .300 Savage chambering.There were five different grades provided. These wereStandard (81A), Special (81B), Peerless (81D), Expert(81E) and Premier (81F). The FBI ordered a number ofthese Model 81s.

The Model 81 Police Specials were specially cus-tomized. These had higher capacity magazines holding10, 15 or 20 rounds. Many had larger fore-ends and

some had special engraving forindividual police departments.There were two main sourcesfor these custom guns: PeaceOfficer’s Equipment (POE) of St.Joseph, Missouri, and HawkeyeProtective Appliance Co. of DesMoines, Iowa. Remington madeplans to make their own policeguns in 1938, and probablycounted on working with thePOE Company. Only a few ofthese were made; the quantity isunknown. Collectors pay highprices for them when found;one is illustrated as the lowergun in the photo here.

Production figures show thatabout 26,000 RemingtonAutoloading Rifles were madefrom 1906 to 1911, 80,600Model 8s from 1911 to 1936,and 55,581 Model 81s from1936 to 1950, when productionceased. Total production of allmodels was 162,181.

Five years after the Model 81was dropped from the Reming-ton line, in 1955 Remingtoncame out with the Model 740, agas-operated semiautomaticrifle. It inherited the Woodsmas-ter name from the earlier rifles.Over the years, the 740 evolvedto become the 742, 7400 and

then the 750. The 750 was discontinued in late 2016.The only centerfire semiauto rifles made by Remingtonnow are the R-15 and R-25 AR-style models.

Model 8s and Model 81s are still found in the hunt-ing fields today, and they have become popular collect-ing items that evoke nostalgia for the good old daysand the good old guns that were made to last for along, long time. They are landmark American rifles.

By Jonathan KilburnThe CETME-L is an intriguing piece of firearms his-

tory. CETME (Centro de Estudios Tecnicos de Materi-ales Especiales) was born from the design of the StG45. The CETME – and later CETME-L – were designedby German inventors who transitioned to Spain fol-lowing WWII. The original CETME design wentthrough several iterations and caliber types. The firstcalled for the same caliber as the StG 45 and movedon to the 7.62x51 CETME. This proprietary 7.62 roundmirrored the dimensions of the 7.62 NATO but had alighter powder charge.

7.62 CETME history is fascinating. The West Ger-mans were interested in the caliber and lighter loadsfor better automatic fire control. This version, theCETME-A, was modified with the help of H&K shortlyafter being sent to the West Germans in 1956. Anyonewho looks at the CETME will note distinct similaritiesto the G3. Indeed, the CETME’s later models were theancestor to the famous H&K G3 and PTR-91.

Why The CETME-L?NATO forced Spain to adapt to the 7.62 NATO

round found in CETME’s third design. This version wascalled: CETME Modelo 58 Type 3 (CETME-C) and is themost common design. However, in the 70s there was apush for NATO forces to utilize the 5.56x45mm car-tridge. What’s unique about the CETME-L is that is isn’ta scaled down version of the original CETME design,unlike their Armalite counterpart. This new 5.56 variantappears to be a unique rifle in its own right, while bor-rowing design elements from its predecessor.

In 1987 the CETME-L began to replace the CETME-Cas the chief rifle of the Spanish military. During jointoperations in Desert Storm, many Americans took noteof the CETME-L, and Spanish soldiers took advantage ofthe well-made STANAG Magazines. Sadly, the CETME-L was a short-lived military rifle, as was replaced by theH&K G36E in 1999.

MarColMar and the CETME-L:MarColMar picked up the de-milled CETME-Ls from

Spain and brought them into the states several yearsago. They utilized significant time figuring out whatthey could use, what needed to be remanufactured,and what could just be replaced. Outside of the receiv-er and barrels, the stock and plastic components didnot age well. Plastic manufactured during the 80sdidn’t endure heat or impact well. It was a great materi-al at the time but required replacement.

The new stocks retain some extraordinary details ofthe original. The buttpad looks near identical, themolding marks meet up near perfect, and sprue marksmatch up in placement. MarColMar also did theirbest to match the original color. While it’s not perfect,it’s pretty damn close. Additionally, they offer newcolor choices.

Along with remanufacturing using modern plastics,MarColMar included the option of a Picatinny rail on thetop of the receiver. This is an enormous benefit for thosewho run optics. Users will inevitably have the originalirons to rely on, but a Picatinny rail opens options.

Lastly, one drastic change MarColMar has made tothe original design is the option of a heavy barrel. It’s

not for purists, but it’s a nice pairing for those who –subjectively – desire something that looks and func-tions better than the original. Those unfamiliar with theCETME-L wouldn’t detect the change as very little ofthe barrel is exposed.

Design Challenges to Consider:The CETME-L has some strong drawbacks in its

design. The bolt-catch infamously awkward and takestwo hands to operate efficiently. Safety ergonomics arealso standard to the original CETME design and takegigantic hands to operate. A little practice is all that’sneeded to become accustomed to the new positions.It’s a challenge for those who are used to the AR oreven AK-platform ergonomics.

MarColMar provides one STANAG magazine. I didtry a few polymer magazines with little luck. Out of allthe brands, Mission First Tactical did fit and cycle with-out incident. However, it’s recommended to stick toaluminum or steel magazines in the CETME-L.

Use and Function: I received both the heavy- and standard-barrel ver-

sions. There was little to no difference between the twoin overall function beyond weight, which says a lotabout the integration, and design by MarColMar. Eachone cycled without incident with several ammunitiontypes. The side charger, while heavy, moves freely andcomfortably folded away.

Starting with some TulAmmo steel-cased ammunitionI produced 3-inch groups at 100 yards with open irons.Honestly, steel-cased ammunition made no differenceto me with a fluted chamber and functioned the same

as most other ammunition types. Delayed-roller sys-tems are notorious for accuracy issues compared todirect gas impingement. That said, the purpose of allthe CETME rifles was to be issued to a military forceand didn’t require superb accuracy. Spanish specifica-tions required a 10cm grouping at 100 yards. Regard-less, this CETME-L is more accurate than I am.

I redirected my focus on to American Eagle .223 75-grain FMJ and was surprised on the accuracy overall. At100 yards, with open sights, I was managing sub 2-inchgroupings. My best results on the standard barrel were1.19 MOA and in the heavy barrel was 1.28 MOA. Forcomparison, the Century Arms C308 with a 1-8 scopecame in at 2.48 MOA with Federal Premium SierraMatchKing 168-grain bullets.

Conclusion:MarColMar had a challenge to reproduce a pretty

serious piece of military hardware. They also wanted tomake sure they stayed true to the original design with-out any noticeable changes. Their attention to detail inremanufacturing the plastic components shows andtheir overall fit and finish is as close to perfection asanyone could achieve. While the CETME-L is madewith surplus parts, the overall experience and remanu-facturing also stands out compared to other alternativeslike Century Arms C308. This CETME-L is one new“surplus” rifle that’s too good to pass up.

By D. K. PridgenMany will agree I’m a little slow out of the gate, but

in my thirties I felt becoming old would never happen.We built a house around day jobs, raising a familywhile working long hours weekdays and weekends inthe flowerbeds and over an acre of yard. No sprinklersystem, happily dragging garden hoses into the weehours. I remember dashing all over SHOT, never tiring.Post-home building, I had energy to build two IPSC(pre-USPSA) and later an IDPA club well into my forties.

In my fifties I reluctantly realized elder years wereapproaching but stubbornly ignored the idea. I justknew I had all the time in the world before THAT hap-pened. I still grabbed every new boomer firearm to testagainst my “ageless toughness.”

When I was 55, I accepted that bad guys traveled in3+ groups, accepted the premise “today’s 9mm ammois as effective as the .45 ACP and with extra magazinesthere is lots more ammunition.” I switched to a G19for competition and carry and let my cherished .45ACP 1911s I had competed with and carried gatherdust in the safe.

I went to bed one night in my mid-fifties, woke upwith a staggering number of aches and pains. Sitting onthe edge of the bed cogitating, it hit me – unnoticed adecade had rocketed by and I was in my sixties!

To prove my sudden aging hadn’t been detrimental, Idusted off my EDC 1911 for a range trip, which actual-ly exacerbated my age fugue. Splits were nowhere nearmy heyday and if I pushed the times, because ofreduced grip strength that accompaniedaged hands, the target looked like it hadencountered 12 gauge buckshot! Toppingeverything off, sadly I found the .45 ACPrecoil made my hands ache!

None of this boded well for acaliber/platform I had trusted as anEDC – well, since forever! Whenpush comes to shove, pullingthe trigger as fast as Ican, simultaneous-ly needing themost accuracyshould be thenorm.

I knew conceptual-ly a 9mm 1911 wouldhave higher capacity andshoot softer than .45s, buthad no 9mm 1911 for range

comparison. I had noticed the proliferation of 9mm1911s in IDPA, precipitated by quicker splits and morebeans in the pistol. (Likewise, several dead-serioustrainers have moved from bigger bores to smaller onesin 1911s or other platforms.)

Then I attended a Wilson Combat writer’s confer-ence. They had plenty of pleasurable-to-shoot 9mm1911s! An informal comparison of comparable .45 pis-tols to 9mm versions confirmed the obvious truth – the9mm wins for comfort and speed.

For most aging shooters, reduced grip strength hap-pens naturally, unless we devote a lot of time maintain-ing it. At the same time, aches and pains in joints beginto develop – something I can attest to – along with theexcruciating pain of injections in them!

One evening Bill said 9mm 1911 sales had equaledthat of the .45s for the first time! Bill felt this reflectedthe aging demographics of customers who startedshooting.45 versions and wanted 9mms to continuetheir Wilson Combat tradition.

For another data point, I contacted SpringfieldArmory. My contact replied “Not sure on the percent-ages, but 9mm 1911 sales have increased exponential-ly in the last couple of years.” Immediately, I requestedtwo identically built, except caliber, Range Officer EliteChampions on the spot!

Before my totally subjective trials, here are the testpistols: They’re burr-hammered Light Weight Com-mander genre hot rods, with fully supported ramps on

4-inch stainless bull-barrels and full-sizeframes. All wear the same corrosion resistant,

self-lubricating Black-T surface treatmentused on Custom Shop Professional mod-

els. Heights and lengths (5.5 and 7.6-inches) are identical but weights

are 31.5 oz. (9mm) and 30 oz.(.45 ACP). (My G19 is 5.04

and 7.36-inches, weighing23.6 ounces.)

and aluminum alloy, respectively. Two magazines and aset of replacement fiber optic rods – orange and yellow– are in Springfield’s accompanying pistol case.

Pistols include Springfield’s long, nicely skele-tonized, aluminum Gen 2 triggers, ambidextrous thumbsafeties, and captive flat wire recoil system. Upswept,beavertail grip safeties have speed bumps for positiveactivation and recesses to ensure hammers haveenough travel room.

Furnished sights are orange fiber optic front and rearwith a one-hand slide manipulation (“tactical rackwhite dot rear”) ledge. Thin, effectively grooved/check-ered G-10 grips and checkered mainspring housingsmake reaching the long Gen 2 trigger easier for medi-um sized hands and improve recoil control.

I chose the RO Elite Champions because of theirfull-size alloy frames. Alloy is a boon for all day carry,while the four-finger butt length combines with 9mmrecoil for improved comfort and control, especially forless than optimal grip strength. The more fingers inuse, the better control. I have no problem concealinga full-size frame.

Now to the evaluation of my 9mm/.45 ACP theory.Packing up a boatload of ammo a Galco Tuck-n-Go 2.0holster and HMC Horizontal Magazine Carrier, I trun-dled to the range and began shooting.

I used an established protocol, evaluating my per-formance (9mm then .45) with two hands, dominantand support hands only. I was really not concernedwith recoil difference per se, but with how well I couldcontrol each caliber, how quickly/accurately Icould fire repeat shots with my cursed hands, andhow these hands felt after extensive shooting ofeach caliber. (Remember, “subjective test-ing.” I’ve no real way to scientificallymeasure the feel of these 1911s inthe hand when exploding offthe runway.)

Quick report on pis-tols’ performances:Neither stum-bled withany

carry load fed them using Wilson Combat, CMC andSA factory magazines randomly interspersed. (Factorymodels fit flush for a little more concealability, buthold one less round than the WCs and CMCs.) Whitedot and fiber-optic sights and Gen 2 triggers workedgreat. Galco’s excellent offerings were a boon, fittingboth 1911s.

So here’s the deal. My expectation of the 9mm’s soft-er shooting reducing the handicap my hands intro-duced into my shooting was correct. Splits and accura-cy improved with the 9mm over the .45 ACP.

I shot quite a few rounds and found myself uncon-sciously migrating to the smaller caliber Springfield.Thanks to the .45 ACP RO Elite, my hands sufferedenough even the 9mm recoil began to hurt. I wenthome!

The next range trip I stuck with the 9mm RO EliteChampion – and shot and shot! My grip really did nottire and my hands remained as ache free as they everdo now days. Surprisingly, the 9mm RO was evenmore pleasurable to shoot than my G19. I suspect thegeometry of pain locations in my hands made the dif-ference.

My theory the 9mm could bring 1911s back for meproved valid. Today I still carry all the time, train butno longer compete. When I shoot or carry I want thecomfort brought by the 9mm chambering and “tote-ability” from Springfield Armory’s RO Elite Championalloy frame.

I believe aging 1911 concealed carriers/shooters canlearn from competition shooters, switch to 9mm ver-

sions and comfortably keep 1911s intheir lives. Active competitors mightopt for a 9mm all-steel Springfield

Range Officer to wring the very mostfrom the 9mm comfort/control.

It’s a good idea to choose what yourhands will let you – .45 ACP or 9mm

– stuffed in a Springfield ROElite Champion.

Acharacteristic of virtually allprogressive reloading machines,

regardless of brand, is that the diesare set rather close together. When you’re setting up a“naked” machine, there’s plenty of room, but if you have aneed to adjust a die afterward, it often requires a delicatetouch to maneuver a lock ring on a crowded toolhead. We’veaddressed this in two ways. We offer 1” die lock rings and a1” Bench Wrench to fit them. This combination gives muchmore room to re-adjust dies after they’re already mounted.The opposite end of our 1” wrench is a 7/16” box-end for ad-justing the Powder Bar of any Dillon Powder Measure.

By Oleg VolkLead projectiles pre-date firearms by millennia.

Long before gunpowder, they were cast with slingsand arbalests. Lead is dense, relatively common andeasy to shape into projectiles. Spherical bullets wereeither patched loosely with paper or cloth forsmoothbores, or pounded tightly into rifles, but puresoft lead was employed in both cases. That workedadequately all the way up to the 1850s, at whichpoint increased velocitycombined with smallerbore diameters causedlead bullets to strip offrifling and fly haphazardly.Whitworth polygonalrifling was a stopgap solu-tion; functional, butexpensive. By the 1870s,paper patching was invogue, inexpensive andreasonably effective. Bul-let material got harder,including lead and anti-mony, but the continuedtrend towards military cal-ibers as small as 6mm andvelocities in excess of2700 fps, that wasn’tenough. 1880s saw metaljacketing that is still main-stream today. That processkept getting more refined,but it remains primarily alarge-scale industrialmethod that’s out of reachof most hobbyists. Hand-loaders continued to buyfactory-made bullets orstuck with cast lead.

Cast lead is economical and useful for many things,but it’s not ideal for many semiauto rifles, or for polyg-onal-rifled pistols. Lubricant in the bullet groovesburns off on firing, causing more smoke than we havecome to expect from jacketed ammunition. And evenfactory-jacketed bullets usually have exposed lead atthe base, which gets airborne in dust form upon firing.Electroplating bullets solves the problem of theexposed base, but doesn’t work well above 1200 fps.Gas checks work to reduce fouling, but don’t raise the

velocity limit much. If only some method existed toensure proper engraving of rifling grooves on the bear-ing surface of the bullet, that didn’t require a factoryor caused target-obscuring smoke...oh, wait, such amethod does exist! Enter polymer coating, a technolo-gy that’s been around for at least two decades.

Hi-Tek is one of the most popular brands, avail-able as a powder or premixed as a liquid. Take anounce of coating material and mix it up with 35 lbs.

of cast bullets in a tum-bler, wait for the materialto adhere to lead as thesolvent evaporates. Theresult is uniformly coatedprojectiles, potentially in awide variety of colors.Simpler than plating orjacketing, this processworks well on the smallscale. It also works wellon a large scale: FederalCartridge has marketedpolymer-coated ammuni-tion for a while, first asblue Nyclad, then as red“flying lipstick” Syntech,currently available in the115-grain to 150-grainrange.

Slick bullet coatingworks better than plainlead on feed ramps,improving reliability. Poly-mer residue is easier toclean than copper or leadfouling. According to Stan-ley Hodgin, a competitiveshooter who runs FalconBullet Company, the

velocity limit for his pistol bullets is between 1400fps and 1600 fps, depending on the gun. SteveLeady, the most appropriately surnamed hobbyshooter who uses polymer-coated bullets for .300Blackout rifles, says that he has been able to runhardcast coated lead up to 2500 fps with no loss ofaccuracy. Others have gone up to 2,700 – the hard-ness of the bullet makes all the difference at thatpoint. Recovered projectiles show that the 1/500”thick coating remains bonded to the bullet surface

even where rifling grooves engraved on them. Sincebullet nose and ogive do not get sized, the coatingthickness can affect feeding.

However thin the coating is, is does alter thediameter of a cast or swaged bullet. Before loadinginto a case, each bullet must be sized to the correctdiameter. Steve Leady found that a homemade rigworked quicker and better for his purpose, whileStanley Hodgin runs a high-volume automated siz-ing machine capable of processing around 4,000

per hour. Bullets with lubricating grooves workwell with the coating process, decreasing frictionwithout reducing bearing length or gas sealing.

The pretty color variety offers the option of color-coding loads: for example, green could be for car-bine, red for pistol. Or blue could be for subsonic,yellow for supersonic. With Federal, a mainstreamammunition maker of stellar reputation, adopting thistechnology, I expect handloaders to discover it inincreasing numbers.

By Peter CarolineIt’s a seven-hour drive from my friend Bill’s home in

Lakeside, Arizona to the NRA Whittington Center inRaton, New Mexico…IF you don’t stop for lunch. Thisis always a point of contention between Bill and me.Bill loves to stop and smell the roses; my motto is,press on regardless... the miles to our destination are anecessary nuisance, to be overcome as expeditiouslyas possible.

This was my eighth Shootists Holiday, a pleasurableoccasion for socializing with like-minded individualsand the enjoyment of guns, both one’s own and otherpeople’s. The Whittington Center is a 33,000-acrefirearms enthusiast’s paradise. There are available, as Irecall, 17 different ranges for a wide variety of shootingsports. We spend our days shooting, admiring, buyingand swapping guns, and checking out the treasures inthe Whittington Center’s amazing museum. We reunitewith old friends, and get to meet new friends. In addi-tion, there are lots of good restaurants in the area, andlater in the evenings, we gather at the motel for guitarpicking, singing, adult beverages and cigars.

The morning after we arrived, Bill and I showed upat the pistol silhouette range for a brief meeting, orien-tation for the new folks and a morning benediction.We examined the items that would be raffled off at thebanquet, and then we set up our equipment at ourchosen spots on the firing line. Bill and I always set upour folding chairs at the 50-meter line for pig silhou-

ettes…we are old and lazy, and it’s an easier walk toset up targets. As a rule, only pistol-caliber handgunsand rifles are allowed on the range for shooting at thesilhouettes, although a number of shooters bring vin-tage rifles for firing at a large yellow banana-shapedtarget up on the hillside backstop. On several occa-sions, firing was suspended and a cannon waswheeled out on the range. I’m not sure of the borediameter…it fired a bowling ball, and used nearly apound of black powder. It was a most impressive spec-tacle, and the bowling balls disappeared somewherein the stratosphere.

Wandering up and down the firing line is a fascinat-ing pastime. You get to see (and shoot) guns that you’dnormally only read about. One gentleman, a newcom-er to the event, said he had a handgun that I might beinterested in checking out. He opened a fabric pistolcase, to reveal a pristine Bren Ten 10mm pistol. Now,I’d seen one of these rarities before, but it was securedin a glass showcase in Col. Jeff Cooper’s gunroom atGunsite. I asked if I might handle it, and the ownerreplied, “Sure. Would you like to shoot it? I haveammo.” Needless to say, I took him up on his offer. Ifired five rounds at a gong target, and for a moment Icould almost imagine myself wearing Sonny Crockett’swhite Gucci blazer.

Temptations abound. Bobby Tyler (tylergunworks.com) and Scott Kolar (skgrips.com) had set up a tablein a shaded area behind the firing line. Bobby had, this

past year, restored, color casehardened and tuned a1920s-vintage Smith & Wesson M&P .38 Special forme, and is currently working on a companion piece, avintage .32 Regulation Police. He had on display adazzling assortment of single-action revolvers, a colorcasehardened Browning Hi Power and CZ 75, anengraved Ruger Bearcat Shopkeeper, a restored ColtBisley, an engraved Python snubby and an engravedand gold-inlaid Colt Model 1908 pocket .380, to men-tion but a few. A fully engraved Ruger Blackhawk in.475 Linebaugh caught my eye, but was totally out ofmy price range. Many of these handguns were wearingScott Kolar’s stellar grips. Grip materials include flame-grained maple, burl mesquite, French walnut, prehis-toric mammoth tusk and a variety of exotic bone andhorn materials. I have a set of his white buffalo bonegrips on one of my 1911s, and they fit perfectly andare very handsome indeed!

By noontime, everyone is hungry. In years past, wehad to run into town for lunch or bring our own good-ies to the range. This year, we arranged to have a lunchwagon on site for our midday meals. Offerings includ-ed a superlative green chili cheeseburger and anincomparable pork belly sandwich.

Next year will be the 35th year of the Shootistsorganization, and it has been customary for the groupto commission a special gun to commemorate eachfive-year anniversary. The 2020 Shootists 35-yearanniversary handgun will be a custom tuned and

accurized Ruger Single-Seven Bisley single-actionrevolver, in .327 Federal Magnum caliber. A prototypewas on display, complete with custom stag grips and atest target.

For the inveterate collector (or in my case, accumu-lator), there are nearly endless opportunities to emptyone’s wallet. I spotted a pair of Remington Model 12.22 pump guns and an interestingly modified Hi-stan-dard Field King pistol. On a nearby gun rack were an11mm Mauser Model 71/84 and a .45/70 WinchesterHotchkiss rifle, both in quite decent condition. I had todrag myself away from a very nice Smith & Wesson.22/.32 Hand Ejector…I have a weakness for .22s, butthere has to be a limit. In the end, sanity prevailed.

Man does not live on gunpowder alone. Raton andthe surrounding area offer some very fine diningopportunities. In Raton, the Ice House restaurant fea-tures a memorable hamburger. About 30 miles to thewest, in Cimarron, at the restaurant in the St. JamesHotel, I enjoyed a blue-rare ribeye, followed by a real-ly fine crème brulee for dessert. We also made ourannual pilgrimage to Tequila’s Mexican restaurant inTrinidad, Colorado. They had a new seafood special,Mariscos Molcajete, an impressive array of crab,shrimp, clams and other seafood, all served in a largestone bowl. It was sufficient for two people, but sooogood! They also have an excellent flan for dessert(yeah, I ate that, too). A year of Atkins and exercise,and I might be ready for next year’s Holiday.

By J. B. WoodAs most gun-people will know, one of the basic

features of the Taurus 380 UL is that it had it’sbeginnings a long, long time ago, in the World WarOne era. In that time, there was plenty of ammo, butnot enough of the new pistols. So, a bright engineerdevised a way to use autopistol ammo in a revolver

It came to be known as the “half-moon clip,” andboth Smith & Wesson and Colt made revolvers to useit. In more recent years, another smart designer said, ineffect, “Why not a ‘full-moon clip’?” The advantage isobvious, a single-operation reload.

In the neat little Taurus revolver featured here, theUL stands for “Ultra-Light,” which with its alloy frame,it is. Unloaded weight is 16 ounces. The othernumbers: 5.95 inches for over-all length, height 4.4inches, and width 1.4 inches. Barrel length is 1.75inches.

The dimensional and weight figures show that the380 UL is perfect for concealed carry. As for thecartridge, even the big-bore guys admit that withmodern loads, the .380 round edges toward full 9mmperformance, Also, another factor; for those who aresensitive to heavy felt-recoil, it just isn’t there.

Thanks to the wide, smooth-faced trigger and superbinternal fitting, the DA-only pull is between 11 and 12

pounds, quick and easy. Also, there’s no hammer spurto catch on your shirt or coat when you’re getting it out.At the base of the bobbed hammer is the well-knownTaurus safety. Popped out with the provided key, itstops every thing. Handy, if you have small children.

As mentioned earlier, the frame is aluminum alloy,and all other parts except the grip are steel. A matte-black version is also available. Sights are better thanthey need to be on a defensive gun, square-picture, thefront one ramped. The black rear sight has a smallscrew on the right side for lateral adjustment.

When you’re using one of those sub-compact auto-pistols, you have to tuck the little finger underneath thebutt. Not with the 380 UL. The one-place rubber gripnot only has two generous finger-recesses at the front,but also a nice little one below. And, the soft rubberabsorbs some more of the moderate felt-recoil.

I tried out the 380 UL at the range with severalloads, from Black Hills, Winchester, and Super Vel.Firing was at 7 and 15 yards, standing, two-hand hold.All of the five-shot groups were well-centered, even theoccasional flyer. At the longer distance, average wasaround 5 inches. Closer in, there was one nice little 3-inch group.

I noticed that on my test gun, the rear sight had beenmoved very slightly to the right. Obviously, some

The Taurus 380 UL Revolver The Taurus 380 UL Revolver

thoughtful person at Taurus had tried it out before itwas sent to me. As for the “felt-recoil” question, it wasabout the same as with ordinary loads fired in a .32auto pistol.

The matte-black version of the 380 UL, mentionedearlier, costs a little less than the one shown here. Forthis one, the “suggested retail” is $513.79. When I sawthe figure, I was amused; I could imagine some CPA-type figuring materials, manufacturing, a decent profit,

and coming up with that oddly precise amount. Outthere in the market, of course, the 380 UL will befound at less than MSRP. And, for those who will findall of it’s good features to be a personal advantage, it’s agood price.

By Kimmie DillonWhat do you get when you combine an attractive,

Southern California girly-girl with a competitive shoot-er? You get Jennifer Irene, an alluring ball of energywho is also this month’s Blue Press cover model.

Unlike many competitive shooters, Jennifer didn’tgrow up on the shooting range. In fact, quite the oppo-site. She’s a Southern California girl who calls RedondoBeach her home. She spends her life near the beautifulblue Pacific, where the ocean kisses the dry sand at thewater’s edge. It’s here that you’ll often find her enjoy-ing the calm waves and warm sand while working outto stay in top physical condition. Fitness is a lifetimepriority to Jennifer and continues to be an importantpart of her profession as well.

Initially, her career plans were to become an inter-national banker. After all, she’s fluent in three lan-guages: English, Spanish and Chinese. But while incollege, majoring in Business Finance, Jennifer wasscouted by multiple prestigious modeling agencies.She realized this could be both a lucrative and strate-gic move where she could utilize her business acu-men to market the product she knew best – herself!While entertainment was never a preplanned careerchoice for Jennifer, she has used her knowledge ofbusiness and finance to excel as a businesswomanand a successful entrepreneur in the entertainmentworld. As a result, early in her career Jennifer becamea signed artist with Upscale Records in NewportBeach and received a record distribution deal with

Sony BMG Music Entertainment for her songs.Jennifer considers herself a marketing and mer-

chandising entrepreneur who markets herself whileusing social media to further bolster her brand. It’seasy to say we’re pretty proud to have this talentedbeauty on our cover of our October Blue Press! Andbesides the BP, she has also landed on the cover of24 other magazines internationally, includingMaxim and FHM. We’re hopeful The Blue Press isnow your favorite publication, right Jennifer? Addi-tionally, she has been published in over 100 maga-zines worldwide, was the official spokesmodel forVP Racing Fuels for over five years, and held thetitle of Miss Taiwan USA in 2010. Jennifer has beenfeatured on several reality TV shows that have aired

Shooting

Fitness-Training Strategies for Competition

Shooting


on large networks such as MTV and Bravo TV.Today Jennifer continues her work in entertainment

by working with celebrities behind the scenes forupcoming movies such as “John Wick 3” and severalaction films. This new chapter of her life is blossomingand rewarding for Jennifer. In 2014 Jennifer met TaranButler of Taran Tactical Innovations (tarantacticalinno-vations.com). It was then that she discovered a wholenew fascinating world in the gun industry. For the firsttwo or three years, Jennifer trained relentlessly as anapprentice under Taran for about 3-4 days a week. Shecontinues to receive even more shooting practice myattending multiple shooting matches. Jennifer uses hershooting and people skills to assist Taran with trainingseveral A-list celebrities for their firearm roles in Holly-wood films and TV shows. Some of the amazing actorsshe works with include Keanu Reeves and Halle Berryfor “John Wick 2” and 3, Chris Pine, Josh Duhamel,Michael Rooker, Michael B. Jordan, The Kardashians,Jon Bernthal, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Shemar Moore,Michelle Rodriguez, the American Ninja Warriors, EricDane and so many more amazing Hollywood icons.

Living her life like Yin and Yang, Jennifer is also a cer-tified Hot Yoga, Pilates, and Spin instructor. As an ath-lete, she represents sponsors in the fitness communityand leads many students through their journey withinthe fitness world. She shares how mentoring and inspir-ing others is very important to her. Jennifer explainshow she sees many people generate high incomes withtheir careers yet fail to become high-net-worth individ-uals. So through her business and fitness experience,she helps to guide them and others to become success-ful in all aspects of their lives.

Here are some of Jennifer’s fitness strategies forbecoming a stronger competitive shooter:

KD – As a certified yoga instructor, how does yogabenefit competitive shooters?

JI – The best-kept secret is that yoga helps yourshooting. Yoga is great for mental strength conditioning

among many other benefits including a stronger core,better flexibility which allows for a better range ofmotion, and better arm strength which allows you to beable to hold your gun up longer with more stability.Yoga teaches you to be very aware of your breathingwhich can have a dramatic impact on sight alignment,calming adrenaline, alleviating stress, and stayingfocused and in control. Yin yoga is a type of yoga thatis excellent for healing injuries. It enables you to movedeep into the connective tissues and ligaments to healyour body, which in turn can help with your perform-ance on the range or at a competition.

KD – Some may say that yoga is only for females orthose who like to meditate. I bet you can shoot this per-ception down?

JI – In a distracted world, yoga keeps us focused andin a world filled with fear it gives us the courage toovercome our fear. While yoga isn’t for everyone, nei-ther is shooting. You can use the benefits from one tohelp with the other. Don’t knock it until you try it. A lotof the A-list celebrities that we work with at Taran Tacti-cal Innovations are yogis like Halle Berry, Joe Rogan,Cung Le, Demi Lovato, The Kardashians, Josh Duhameland Chris Pine.

KD – If someone has never tried yoga before, is there atype of yoga that you recommend for them to start with?

JI – From hatha to vinyasa to yin yoga and more,there are many different styles of yoga offered in theU.S. that it can be overwhelming to sort through theoptions especially if you’ve never done yoga before. Irecommend just starting with any beginner class thatyour gym offers or if you don’t have a gym member-ship, look up some YouTube tutorials for yin yoga orvinyasa 1 yoga. I recommend starting off with a non-heated class for beginners. If you are looking for helpwith targeting certain injuries, such as hip or backinjuries, you should try yin yoga. Yin yoga holds thepostures for 1-10 min and allows you to move deepinto the connective tissues and muscles to heal. Once


^ 79Blue Press!

you get a little stronger and confident, try a heatedvinyasa class. You’ll definitely get a workout from it.

KD – Are there a few specific yoga postures that yourecommend for shooters to focus on?

JI – Google and check these postures out:Pigeon pose – hipsFrog pose – hip openerHalf moon pose – opening up the shoulders, great

for sciatica, and lateral flexibility, which we don’t prac-tice often in our daily lives.

Childs pose twist – opens up the back, the shoulders,the hips, and so much more.

Seal pose or sphinx pose – lower backCat cow pose – opening up and creating space in the

vertebrae of the spineAnd a good read for beginner yogis is Light On Yoga:

The Bible of Modern Yoga by B.K.S Iyengar.KD – I have to ask – are there days where you would

rather hang out and not exercise and if yes, whatinspires you to head to the gym anyway?

JI – Some days you eat salads and go to the gym,some days you eat cupcakes and refuse to put on pants,it’s called balance. Balance is the one thing that we cancontrol and it’s the one thing that we lose control of. Sofind balance in your routine and continue to live yourbest life. If you are having one of those days thenmaybe try to get in at least a 30-minute exercise fromhome. You won’t regret it!

KD – And shifting to general fitness, what are a cou-ple of exercises that you recommend to help themimprove their shooting game?

JI – There are obviously many strength-building exer-cises but these are a few to add to your regular programto reduce strain during your practice and competitions.

Aerobic exercises – condition the heart, lungs andcirculatory system. Crucial for those competitionswhere you have to run from one stage to the next toshave off time. I recommend running or cycling. If youwant to work your arms out too at the same time you

can incorporate wrist weights while running or do pushups and motorcycles while cycling.

Arm exercises – lateral raises and side lateral raises.This will help with your endurance and strength to holdup your gun and keep it stable. Grabbing a dumbbellor a weight plate and pushing it out and twisting thebody to the right and or left. This will help strengthenand stabilize your core while strengthening the musclesyou need for your draws.

The kicker – hold both arms our straight to your sidesand rotate them for about 100 reps with or withoutweights. Now try it counterclockwise. Do the samething with both arms out in front of you. Try not toshrug your shoulders. Tighten your core. This will buildstrength when holding your arms outstretched withyour gun for long periods of time and will also increaseyour endurance.

Leg exercises – side lunges with weights. This willhelp with balance, control, and your transitions backand forth while running and gunning.

KD – Any other future goals or ambitions that youwant to share?

JI – I would love to own a fitness facility where wecan do yoga, cycling, reformer Pilates, and boot campall in one location. Maybe even incorporate a rehabili-tation area for targeting specific injuries with specificspecialists. A one-stop shop for fitness. Aside from con-tinuing to perfect my brand as a shooter, I aspire tosomeday become a mommy and start a family.

KD – Thank you so much for letting us get to knowyou and for sharing some amazing fitness tips for shoot-ing. Anything else you want to share with our readers?

JI – Yes! GUNS AND YOGA. And thank you TaranTactical for everything that you have done for me, forothers, for Hollywood, and for the community. Wootwoot!
