At Prosser, I agree completely and stay well under max loads, its not worth the wear and tear, on the gun and me, Plus 296 is finicky in the powder tosser and when I'm light I don't have to worry about it tossing a little more or less powder. As I said I started at the second lowest...

I use starline brass for my hotter XTP Mag loads. As I said the CBC was sticky with the factory loads which were not hot (MagTec) So It seems their brass is just sub par for this caliber

A Taurus Raging bull, is what I am shooting it out of. So a hot load for the Freedom arms revolver is down right dangerous out of my gun.

Minimum hornady is near max Speer Thanks for the input. The max load would explain it, I will have to be more careful extrapolation one manufactures load data to another bullet of the same weight. I knew they varied but I figured if I start at the bottom there shouldn't be any issues. I...

So the gist, I have load some speer 45 Deep Curl 300 Grain bullets in CBC once fired brass with 30.1gn of Win 296 (the second lowest out of 5 loads in the Hornady load book) compressed some powder, a practice which I try to avoid. When I fired this load, which works beautifully with 300...

Thanks for all the replies, I would love to buy a nice breakdown rifle for backpacking, and have done research on a number of the options mentioned. However, money is an issue so I just want a cheap light backpacking 22. One i can beat up and not care to much about. The cricket is only real...

So to make it very clear right off, I have no intention of breaking the law, I want to find out what the law is so I can continue to be a responsible gun owner with in the bounds of the law. By all means try to limit talk of the risk related to illegally modifying a firearm because I am aware...

I pulled a bullet and tried out the new spring, No go. I ordered the upper from a company called CDNN I am going to contact both them and Smith and Wesson and hopefully one or the other will take care of the issue. I am still wondering if I just got a batch of super hard primer cups though...

Damn sorry for triple replying I will try to be more succinct in the future, but the suggestion of a longer firing pin seems to be invalid do to the fact that all of the rounds fired, only after repeated attempts, this suggest that firing pin length is fine but the primer cups are hard the...

Oh and thanks wny, have you ever used a lower with any other trigger on it, specifically the S&W XP hammer spring? I have read about 40 good reviews of this setup and one bad one so I am wondering if I am the unlucky one out of the 40

Thanks, I understand the apprehensiveness to corrosive ammo in a DI. However, I think that a person who properly cleans their firearm shortly (same day) after use will not run into problems, I understand the additional steps involved in cleaning corrosive ammo as apposed to noncorrosive and...

I just went out with my brand new smith and Wesson 5.45x39mm upper and some Russian 7N6 surplus. I installed the XP hammer spring that came with it in my M&P lower and had a Failure to Fire on all but 1 round out of about 45. I continued to beat this dead horse so I could gain enough dimpled...
