Never mind. Hard pressure with a plastic punch did the trick on the pin. The trigger group is back in and everything is functioning properly.

i had a little problem at the range today. My 828u trigger group fell out ( not all the way) between closing the action and firing. Being new to over/unders and this gun, this ended my shooting for the day. I was able to remove the trigger group at home by manually cocking both hammers...

Archangel, I'm not upset, just really surprised. I consistently measured before and after and was surprised to see it "a hair" longer. I expected some setback. I'll have to try the Berry's FPs in another 9mm and use the Xtreme, in this apparently tighter chamber.

BDS, I made a round for your chambering test: It measured (more than once) 1.177 before chambering. After chambering (and forcing the slide back) the round measures 1.179, so it grew! :mad: I mistakenly made a round just under 1.18 with the Xtreme FP bullet, and it plunked fine. The...

Those three did

Gentlemen, I just started from scratch with three cases. It took seating down to 1.09 before all three would plunk. I had worked down before and found someone else used 1.08.

I think I may have been chasing the problem in the wrong direction. Making the problem worse rather fixing it. Tonight should tell...

ArchAngel, Thanks for the suggestion. It does make sense to me and you may very well be correct. I may have made the problem worse, trying to correct it. Tonight, I'll pull the bullets out of some of the ones that don't plunk, resize them, and try them again with the longer COAL. I'll...

I could use a little help figuring out what my problem is loading 147 gr 9mm rounds. My normal process is 2 passes though my LNL AP (all dies are Hornady except the FCD and lock out die). The first pass I resize, prime, and bell the mouth. The second pass, I drop the powder, check the powder...

Thanks RC! I think I'll give the divot approach a try! Art

My front sight is not where I left it!:uhoh: While shooting indoors yesterday, I noticed my group had migrated to the right. I've got the tool to move the front sight back to the middle. I've read of using Loctite to secure it in place. I plan on using Blue 242. My questions are: How...

The real deal guys is this is a 40 upper that I use for my outdoor club's bowling pin matches. I'd really like to be able to sight it end at 26 feet, as that is the range to the pins. Before I replaced the A2 front post sight, I had a 1" riser on my red dot. At 25 yards it was well into the...

As far as I know every lane is the same. It does seem like only the end lanes are used for rifle.

Sam, Like the others have said, nice graphics and the best explanation I've heard. I just wish range employees could explain why they have rules. I guess I'm just pick y that way!

Sorry its taken me so long to get back: I think it is valid. RC, the distance to the back stop is 25+ yards, that never changes, so any concerns about the back stop don't change with the range to the target. Art
