Have a P365X born in early 2022, forgot the month. Mostly no primer swipes, but on hot loads +P 124 HP it will do it. Thinking it is running the slide faster and pressure is up some so it shows some primer swipe. Nothing like the pics I have seen on the earlier FP design.

I have also used Herco (like Unique). 8.5 grains Herco with cast 200 grain LFN, and 8 grains Herco with a 250 grain lead RN. I did run up to 9 grains of Herco with the 250 lead RN but thought I was starting to see a little pressure on the primers, still extracted easily from the chambers in a...

Pat, that is what happens to me too. I had lasik some years ago but astigmatism came back. Red shifts even on a red dot sight, but green seems 2x better. My glasses are progressives to help reading and remove some astigmatism, but hard to find a sweet spot using them with red sights. Green is...

I have that sight on a GP-100 also. It seems to sight on target a little faster than the original sight. I'm more used to round dot sights for the front. Green works a little better for my older eyes and astigmatism.

Loading pistol and rifle calibers - 9mm, 45 Auto and Colt, 357 Mag, 38 Spec +P, 223/5.56, 243 Rem, 25-06 Rem, 7.62x54R, 338-06. The only issue was on some start loads the rifle cases did not fully form and the primers were backed out some. Upping pressure helped. I do use a chrono and primers...

I have tested 125 grain SP bullets with H4895 reduced loads - somewhere around 45 to 46 grains. It comes out about like the factory loads that Rem used to sell for reduced recoil. I had tested IMR SR4759 but ran out. It was more repeatable. A test report below (Not my data) and my experience is...

Using middle 300 weight bullets, testing 325 FTX. IMR3031 nad H4895 running them to around 1600-1700 fps in single shot H&R. Recoil is OK, much like a 20 gauge shotgun. Have loaded 405 grain not tested, more recoil - maybe in the 6# H&R - :-).

OP - you had specified 200 yards and under - varmints and coyote, deer.. then I would say 243. I don't know what the terrain is like where you shoot but for those in flat open spaces, Dakotas and Wyoming, the 25-06 has been great on pronghorns and also used on deer. It is flat and gets out there...

Found a NIB about 7 years ago. Has been reliable and over 1K rounds now. At around 800 rounds the trigger was getting very light, under 2 pounds. It was too light for me so had it checked by an armorer. Got the sear and trigger recurved with some more tension and it is now at about 3 pounds...

Hope you get one.. I like mine - ran all my 9mm I have in hand first time out of the box. Just a clean and lube first. If I remember correctly, on the CZ forum, it was mentioned that they are shipped out in batches and vendors have them in stock for a while - then nothing for months.

Cheaper Than Dirt has some in stock. Might sell out fast - price is on the high side IMHO, but P-01 are like hen's teeth.

Pivot Dr - Do you have a chronograph? I actually use 10mm data in my 400 Corbon loads (larger case, lower pressure) but for safety reasons - will not share. I used lower range loads for 10mm and worked up only with 180 grain bullets so I didn't have much testing. Once I got to 10% less velocity...

5 years ago - Loaded up a few 100 to test in a conversion barrel - sized 45 ACP. Federal brass worked the best for this barrel. No lube and made sure none existed on the bullets or inside of the neck. No problems noticed with bullet set-back. Very light crimp to straighten the flare at the neck...

LGS has Hornady 123 SST and Federal Fusion 120. Usually only one or two options and any of the local stores.

Got a 45 Colt 20-inch a couple years ago. The small edge by the loading gate is a little sharp at the start, smoothing out now. First cycling was a little tight. Under 100 rounds so far and action is starting to smooth out. No malfunctions as new out of the box. Just cleaned the bore and...

Lighter bullets 4350, heavier bullets 4831 - looking at load data, reading some forums and what Bill M. said - works in .280 Rem. Note - 4350 has been hard to find. I havent been out to test (silly stay-at-home) but I did find some IMR4451 - similar to 4350 but look up specific 4451 data.

I went Redhawk 4.2 45 Colt because it is the caliber I started with and reload for it. I had read somewhere about draw time in OWB holster and past 5 inches is a limiting factor. 4.2 inch is reportedly a good option when in a saddle on horseback if I ever do that while hunting. If I was using a...

Looked for some 280 AI rifles and ammo locally. Only one place had a Kimber Hunter rifle and had a few boxes of Hornady ELD-X Precision Hunter. As you stated, the 4 models of Savage on the website but none at the LGS yet. Asked about it at a different store and they weren't aware that Savage...

On the Savage forum - I think there was a mention of some short throated barrels getting out recently. Yes on getting a gunsmith to check the chamber and throat.

I had some do that too with PPU brass. Not 6.5 Swede, but 243 Win, they were tight in the chamber due to that ring at the mouth. I wondered if the factory crimp caused the brass to harden. I reloaded them 1X using a Lee FCD and that took it out. The couple I tested after the FCD chamber OK and...
