BGM Member Goes for the Border

Filed Under BGM, member, training | Leave a Comment
A BGM member posted on their shooting sports blog that they are seeking a job with US Customs and border patrol. Read Bullet Boy’s Post about applying to the US Border Patrol. Just because he has begun his application does not mean he is in. The journey to become an agent last almost 2 years. He will be keeping us updated on the process. We are proud of him and support his decision to serve our country as a civil servant.

This Saturday we talked about getting together for practice at the FOP range. I haven’t heard much talk about it since last week when we snuck in an impromptu long range sight in sight it.
So the question is do we want to practice or go to the Steel City IPSC/USPSA pistol match. Me, Bullet Boy, is thinking about going to the match.
The match format for pistol will be 6 stages with an estimated 110-170 rounds. The match begins at 10:00 am at the action pistol ranges at Steel City Shooting Sports Association.
What match would you like to do?

Be careful when out and about around the fireworks, boats, and generally safe. In lots of places, like Al, this is the weekend of highest vehicle accidents and fatalities. Be careful.
A couple points of business. As you know last week and this week we have undergone some changes in the back end. There are more changes to come.
One of our members has taken an entrenurial idea steemed from the BGM website. He started Shooting Sports Blog.
We will be merging our blog over to their system. The exact method has not yet been decided but we will be voluntarily moving over. When we get the exact details we will be sharing them.
As a promotion for the site with easy registration you will be registering for your own blog as well as being a memeber over at the forum where you can discuss and get solutions to questions about shooting sports. When the shooting sports store is up and running you will be able to use the same information over secure connections to make purchases. The store is the furthest away in being complete. So take a look over at shooting sports blog and offer suggestions wher eyou would like to see it go.

Due to the great people over at Media Temple we are back up and running.

Dillion XL 550 in prodcution

Over the past few days I have posted about receiving a Dillon 550 progressive press reloading system. Remember when I said that I was getting an indestructible system. Well within a few minute time period I break two primer punch pins, got a primer stuck in a pickup tube, and mangled a primer cup. So give it to me to render a machine unusable until I can get the new parts from my new friend Brian Enos.
The machine pumped out 500+ .40&W and about 100 .223 Remington before the melt down. It was probably due a break. I need to find the preventive maintenance measures before I get to much farther. I know some of those pivot points on that machine needs a drop of oil and something needs to be cleaned. Do you have any routine things I should be doing?
Enjoy the pictures of my Gunsmithing Shop and home to my Dillon 550.
