    10mm Woes

    Thanks Gary, I'll take a look. I've been using Unique for my main plinking powder. The Hornady manual lists 6.4 gr as the max for 200gr, which is exactly the mid-point for 180gr. So, maybe I should be ok as long as I make that my limit. Also, hi from Minnesota. I will give this a try and...

    10mm Woes

    I have a 10mm 1911 with (what I think is) a tight chamber, and it was regularly having 3-point jams with 180gr RN-FMJs at a 1.260 COL. After asking around, I got a suggestion to load them shorter to fix the feeding problem. It did... sort of. I loaded about a hundred at 1.245 COL, but this made...

    Just curious, why not leave powder in overnight?

    Chargemaster accuracy/reliability?

    Thanks! Good to know some of the tweaks if I end up taking the plunge. I'll mostly be using RL-22, not exactly a fine powder, so I'll keep that 5/16 diameter in mind.

    Chargemaster accuracy/reliability?

    I am strongly considering buying an RCBS Chargemaster combo. It'd be used to speed up loading for precision rifle, and would replace a powder drop/trickler/beam scale setup. However, I have two reservations. My first concern is reliability. I've noticed quite a few reviews that read something...

    My RCBS neck turner has ruined its last piece of brass. Recommendations for new tool?

    I bought the RCBS neck turner because I thought the mic adjustment would be handy for setting the depth of the cut, but no matter how carefully I set it, the zero "wanders" during use, so I can't count on the depth of cut being the same from one piece of brass to the next. I noticed the lock...

    1911 safety pops up on firing

    Hi all! You helped me ID the problem, and I was able to fix it! The problem was indeed the geometry of the detent on the left side/right thumb side of the safety. The detent needed to be deeper. My safety is already mismatched and needs to be replaced, so I didn't mind monkeying around...

    1911 safety pops up on firing

    My ambi safety broke on my 1911 and I needed a new one. I was going to go to the smith, but YouTube made it look simple enough, so I thought I'd give it a try. I thought I was going to need to fit it, but it went right in, so I didn't do any actual filing. Everything looked and felt fine at...

    Too much bullet runout with a Forster Ultra seater?

    Ok, to answer some more questions, in no particular order: On caliber, it is the 7mm Rem Mag. For reference, on a good day, I can hold 1/4 MOA with the rifle (5 shot groups). My goal is to be able to do that consistently. As for prep, I have just started doing things like annealing, neck...

    Too much bullet runout with a Forster Ultra seater?

    To answer a couple of questions above, I'm not using an expander ball. Also, my goal is to shrink my group size and eliminate "unexplained flyers," which have been causing me a headache. Ideally, I would like to not monkey with runout after seating, as I understand that can cause neck tension...

    Too much bullet runout with a Forster Ultra seater?

    I bought a Forster Ultra seating die with the mic adjuster to help me with bullet runout issues (previously around .006"). The Forster improved that (now I'm getting about .0015" to .0035", but honestly, I thought it would be better than that; more like .0015" or better on most rounds. Am I...

    Suitable 9mm load for SD?

    ^ This was exactly my thought. I shoot a decent amount of PP, and to be honest, I see the fireball, but it doesn't bother me at all. That said, for SD loads, why not use something with a lower flash? I loaded up a few XTPs with both Unique and PP, just to see the difference. Both shot fine...

    Suitable 9mm load for SD?

    Thanks guys! Any recommendations for low flash powders in my application? Some that I have and that I've seen thrown out there are W231, Tite Group, N340, and Bullseye, but none of those are listed in my Hornady manual, so I wansn't sure. As stated above, I also have unique. Obviously, I'm...

    Suitable 9mm load for SD?

    This would be for a M&P Shield 9 (3.1" bbl). Hornady 124gr XTP 5.4gr Power Pistol 1.100" OAL (passes the plunk test in my gun) Win SP primer I've been using Unique on my practice rounds, but after looking around, people seemed to have a few go-to powders for 9mm SD applications, one of...

    Drifting front site on an M&P Shield

    question on pistol primers

    Don't think twice about reusing them. I've never done so many at one time, but I reuse primers all the time. Never had any misfires.

    Drifting front site on an M&P Shield

    Has anyone had to do this? I'm no smith, but the directions seemed simple enough. I clamped the slide down and used a punch with a hammer, and that thing will not budge. I don't want to buy a site pusher. It's there anything else anyone has gotten to work?

    Play With Your Food: Clean Brass With Rice

    I just tried this. I happened to have the exact rice Orkan recommended on hand. It worked amazing, and it didn't even take very long. I'm sold!
