.45 GAP

[Mad Professor]

I haven’t had time to try it yet. Maybe this evening. If the case holder already hits the bottom of the die, how does the lock ring on the bottom change the stroke? The case already enters the die, just doesn’t flare it. Wouldn’t I need a shorter body die, or grind the end down?

If your die is touching the shell holder, moving the ring is not going to help.

You may have to get a different set of dies.
I could see where a .45 ACO die set might not allow the stem of the expanded to screw down the extra ~.150” needed to work on the .45 GAP. Although some brands might. The sizer die would not make difference, but expanding and seating could.

Depending on the die, you might make some mods to make it work. Cutting a bit off the top side of the die, thin the underside of the expander stem, thin the jamb nut, etc. “Maybe” take a bit off the bottom. But that could cause issues going back to ACP. Also you likely have a carbide ring there which would prevent a bottom mod.

I’ll know who you are when you jump up and down yelling “I’m Beastep” between stages.

Still on the fence about going. I haven’t shot pistol in a while. Thinking about going to the ISPC at TCGC Sunday morning then making a hurried trip to Duncan. Somebody has to be there to agitate the mad prof.

When they call Brad Eastep thatll be me. The skinny guy shooting a Glock.

A skinny guy in that crowd should stick out!
I’m the bridesmaid in this picture.

I remember seeing you shoot in the last one.

The one holding #2.

The one holding #2.

I was just wondering if the other guy is an OSA member too. :/

 

[Fyrtwuck]

Both of us are. #1 is Fyrtwuck and #2 is the Mad Professor.

Lol, ok. Thanks.

Both of us shot in the last match. I had to shoot against Mad Prof three times in a row. I lost the first one, the second was almost a tie, but I won it and I won on the final. He kept telling me to go easy on him. Can’t do it. He’s too good to give any slack.
