I’ve always wanted one of those. Looks like fun.Anybody else have one of these? I just got mine out shooting for the first time today. Very happy with the accuracy, this is 4 shots at 100 yards. I have a light primer strike issue that I need to address though. 35 Remington loaded +P

35 Remington is the issue , not the gun.
Set shoulder in die set better. Because your primer is is probably flush in the pocket.
Happened to my Xp100 and contender until I figured it out
If your shooting factory ammo… Get a extended firing pin.
A close acquaintance of mine has one in 7mm-08 he is trying to sell.
What is he trying to get out of it?
Seems like you got it figured outI know. I have a stash of softer primers that I switched to which solved the issue until I get them all fire formed. After they are all fire formed I will shim the sizing die till I get the setback I want.
It’s too bad Remington doesn’t make the 150 gr psp core-lokt .35 Remington load anymore, that would be perfect in your pistol.
I bought 3 boxes of those rounds several years ago and single-loaded them in my 336. Man did they shoot great, I would get literal 3-shot cloverleaf groups at 100 yds (The rifle is scoped.) When I fired the last rounds from the final box I went back to Bass Pro for more…and learned they were discontinued.

Have you shot the Leverevolution 200 gr FTX load? I bought a few boxes, in my 336 they’re good, but not as accurate as the old C-L 150’s were.
Stay safe.
I have loaded the 180 gr Speer as well, it’s a good bullet .I handload only but no plans to buy the FTX bullet, kinda pricy. I think I’ll stick to the round nose bullet since I’m unlikely to use it at more than 100 yards. I do shoot the 180gr speer in my other guns and like that bullet a lot.

You said the "trigger is not great," is it just heavy? Is it a single or two stage?
