Works good for me without SS pins. A couple of hours in a Dillon Vibratory tumbler and they are pretty shiny. Dry in the sun. Minimum labor.

Nice looking blasters! Glad to see you are back in the game.

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered 8k.

Welcome aboard. Plenty of shooting opportunities in the Charlotte area. USPSA, IDPA, SC, 3Gun, GSSF, Indoor Ranges, etc. enjoy!

OP, why don't you tell us all the mods you done on the pistol and save us some time in trouble shooting it. It's doubtful that the doubling is being caused by polishing. What parts did you change and what springs are in the pistol.

Here's the link to the GSSF Rule book for 2016. For the definition of stock pistol go to page 11 and start with rule 40.20. Good luck and shoot them in the middle. http://www.gssfonline.com/glockrpt/2015_The_GLOCK_Report_VOLII.pdf

I bought one when they were first introduced and used it for years to load .38 Spl wadcutters. Loaded great & very accurate ammo. Two of the three weaknesses have already been mentioned. Keeping the track clean and the primer feed. I also welded up a reinforcement/stiffener piece for the bullet seating linkage which often flexed when seating the bullet. RCBS was slow getting the caliber conversions to market and by that time Dillon was taking over market share. So it's more or less a one caliber press. (The track holding the brass is adjustable so conversions are possible.) On the positive side RCBS has been very good about sending free replacement parts when I've need them. But that's been a few years too. If the price is reasonable then it would make a fun project. Good luck.

This is only a suggestion. You might try recording the X count as a decimal. So a score of 97-5x would be recorded as 97.005. Don't think you could have more than 270 X's in Bullseye. AP you could have 192 X's (4 events x 48 shots per CoF).

I had a USPS issue and Precision Delta handled it very quickly and professionally. They dealt with the PO so I didn't have to.

Fred, welcome to Charlotte and the Arboretum area. You'll find a number of options for shooting in the area. You will find USPSA matches in Statesville, Salisbury (Rowan County), * Lake Lure (Asheville area) NC and Columbia, Spartanburg, & Greenville SC. Farther east you have Creedmore (north of Raleigh) and Ft Bragg (Fayetteville). Besides the two 3 gun matches mentioned, there are a number of unaffiliated 3 gun matches in the area. There are at least 3 clubs in the area that you might consider for training but don't host USPSA matches. As well as a number of indoor ranges with very restrictive shooting rules. Hope that helps.

I've had good luck just using .38 Super mags without any modifications in a 1911 with 9mmP ammo. Try it and see if it works in your pistol before you spend a lot on a mod. Good luck.

BJ, the first thing I would check would be the amount of crimp. If you over crimp you maybe swaging the bullet smaller than the bore and therefore the bullet is not engaging the lands and spinning about it's axis. Do not over crimp. Just straighten out the bell. If reducing the crimp doesn't help then I would slug the barrel and get an accurate measure of the barrel bore diameter. Good luck.

I loaded 4.2 gr BE over a 230 gr RNL bullet and shot it out of a 4" S&W 625 for a velocity of 735 fps. That equates to about a 168 PF. You may need to bump that load up a tenth or two to adjust for the FMJ bullet. Good luck.

I ordered in Jan. Website said 10 weeks for delivery. Mine arrived in 4 to 5 weeks. Good bullets and good folks to work with. I'll order from them again.

Welcome aboard. I hope to see you at some of the local matches.
