19 turkeys brings up a good point. You'll want to go for expanding ammo. You couldnt go wrong with a hornaday flex tip I would think. Kinda expensive but good bullets for hunting usually are, and good bullets for IHMSA fill a totally different set of requirements. Speer deep curl would also be good....

Interesting, I didn't consider that tidbit. Good to know if I ever decide to use my 45 for a competition.

Coincidentally my first attempt will be for my hi-point. The grips simply have a philips screw holding it on and come right off, the frame is nice and square as well. I dont need them, nor do I really want them on that gun but for the sake of practice I can try and make some nice finger grips, then ...

Hi yall. Ive been mulling over an idea I have had for quite a while. I keep running into forum posts in other places of people looking for custom wooden grips for their revolver, pistol (often a stryker or xp-100), or a custom wood stock for their rifle.

I then looked for a REAL source to see what this sport is all about. Now here we are. The more reports you have the be...

ole95, youve got me curious. What caliber were you shooting there?

kg4tyr: Well thats a bummer but like you said folks stick their nose where it doesnt belong. I guess they would rather folks go hide in the woods and fire off into oblivion instead of doing it in a controlled environment. I hope it works out for you.

Robert: I dont know anyone who does but the principle would be the same minus speed limitations based upon your hardness of alloy. I have a site I know of for designing your own mold and while it doesnt give bc it does give suggested twist and throat dimensions as well as dimensions for case OAL and...

They do it to hold back the shooters. They are just building hoops to jump through hoping the cost will prohibit the project form happening. Around my area I have seen huge arguments start up over newer local shooting ranges trying to get started. The locals demonstrate, call the news, and make a te...
