Drill: Get Fit Or Die
มุมมอง 2518 หลายเดือนก่อน
I came up with this drill while at the range looking to add some fitness to my practice. It is called the "Get fit or die drill". You will need 1 USPSA target, a handgun, 10 rounds of ammo and a 50 yard range. I am coming off 6 weeks of no shooting and no working out, so this time/score should be achievable. If you shoot it, let me know how it goes!

This is a drill I came up, but I have come across enough similar drills that I don't want to take all the credit. You will need 12 rounds of ammo, a USPSA target and 50 yards of range space. Start at the target, run to 50 yards, turn and fire 10 shots into the body of the USPSA target. Then, run to the 7 yard line and fire 2 shots into the A zone of the USPSA head box.

    I'm not quite sure how I came upon this video, perhaps God brought me here. I just wanted to relay my most sincere sympathies and my heartbreak at the loss of your precious son. Children are, for sure, a gift from God - one not to be taken lightly. I pray that God will send you both his comfort and peace in the days to come. I know it might not seem so now, but what a blessing and a gift to know that we will all be together once again, for eternity, in Paradise. We think of you often and pray you are doing well. Y'all should stop by sometime for a visit. I'm sure those chickens are living the high life !!!! May God bless you both ...

    I have a similar setup for my F Open reloading (6 Dasher and 284). My biggest struggle is priming. The 750 is just very inconsistent on primer seating depth with some even above flush. I can never get them to seat say .003 deep. I have tried the Armanov bearing cam with primer adjustment but it only works if trying to seat primers higher. What do you do to adjust and get the correct primer seating depth?

    • @lukethings
      @lukethings 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Interesting, I have had no issues with priming on mine. Granted, I am not measuring seat depth as would be needed for something like F class. But, I never had any end up above flush.

    Switch to a super trickler / V3 with IP (2 of them preferably). You will get much more accurate charges, faster throws to decrease your downtime.

      You could add one, but moving slow enough I don't find it to be needed.

  • @NiteQwill_
    @NiteQwill_ 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I load precision ammo on an Mark 7 autodrive with my XL750. After loading several years on a Area419 Zero, I found no difference between on target between a Dillon vs Zero. My process is using 3 toolheads (you can generally get away with 2). 1. Decap using fullsize FW Arms decapper. Clean. Then anneal. 2. Resize using SAC die. Followed by trimming and priming. 3. Powder drop using dual (2) Autotrickler V3 + Ingenuity Precision trickler. Mr Bulletfeeder + Lee inline bullet dropper. Seating using a SAC 'The Seating' die. I can load 400 rds in 30-35 minutes. My only limitations are putting more bullets or filling the casefeeder. This process has afforded me time to do other things.

    • @lukethings
      @lukethings 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Awesome! I need to add another powder measure to speed things up.

  • @curtislong1987
    @curtislong1987 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nice, it definitely works

  • @Lethalmuffin87
    @Lethalmuffin87 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Honestly I think you’re the first and only person that has shown me a convincing reason to upgrade from my 550. I use whidden floating heads, FA micrometer seating die, and mandrel all very similar to your setup….. But no casefeeder or auto index, which I didn’t really see a need for until watching how fast your rig moves through the setup I currently use. Brilliant! Also, I couldn’t bring myself to spend 40$ on the A 419 funnel either lmao, the drop tube and tip work great with my 3$ brass funnel though!

    • @lukethings
      @lukethings 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha A419 makes nice stuff, but some of the prices are insane. The speed is definitely a nice upgrade.

  • @MackEv_
    @MackEv_ 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Same disciplines field and little PRS and same exact setup with the armanov heads. Prep on one head and make finished ammo on the other, prevents doing anything forceful other than seating which I think keeps consistency. Caught the armanov heads on a sale and just bought 2 for every caliber. On .223 I actually drop powder with the Dillon, XBR8208 is very consistent for a short stick powder, chrono and groups confirm so loading .223 is super quick now. Double alpha powder cop alerts within .1 grains variations. Doing the funnel thing for the everything other than .223 since Varget and 4350 don’t drop well but would consider switching to some of the staball powders for 6 and 6.5 cartridges but I’ve got an old charge master that throws just about as fast as I can seat a bullet. The case feed is the huge time saver IMO and would not bother with progressive without it.

    • @lukethings
      @lukethings 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Agreed on all counts, I’m using Shooters World precision which is similar to Varget but might need to experiment with some other powders.

    One of the most attractive things about shooting is the fact that shooting, in of itself, is a very Darwinian exercise. You either hit the target or you don’t. No amount of shit talking, bragging, bullshitting, or Gucci equipment, are going to put the pill on the spot if you can’t shoot!
