Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. No experience with the Ballistic Tool version but I did use the uniquetek for my 9mm and 223 because I use different powder/bullet combinations for those calibers. Both uniquetek's changed settings while loading on my 650. I had to put tape on it. If you're not going to change the settings, don't bother with those expensive adjustable ones. Not worth it.
  2. Remington UMC 223 55gn factory ammo 18" JP 1:8 barrel - 3,060 fps 14.5" Noveske 1:7 barrel - 2,843 fps Average from 3 shots.
  3. On the 650, those aftermarket swagers work on the upstroke when the cases are not contacting the dies.
  4. There are 3 white plastic strips on mine. I did bring it back to them (since they are local) to have a look at it. I was told it looks like it was installed correctly and the friction seemed fine. He recommended I just keep using the tape. If I knew I'd be forking out over $50 for this precise piece of equipment but have to resort to using tape to keep the setting from moving, I would’ve stuck with the MRDial.
  5. Does anyone notice their setting changing after some use? I have one for 223 and 9mm and I've noticed both of them changing their settings after some use. I first time I noticed it after loading a large batch (2K) of 9mm. While shooting, I noticed the loads felt light. I go home and check the charge and it went from 4.2 gn to 3.5 gn. I write down my settings and it did in fact change while loading. The next time I loaded up some 223, I kept an eye on it and noticed it did change after a couple of hundred rounds. I've resorted to putting tape on the dial so it doesn't move. I have a Dillon 650 and no my kids don't sneak into the garage and change my settings while I'm napping.
  6. The guy that sold it to me was the second owner and got it as part of a trade but he didn't even know it was modified. The guy doesn't shoot competitively and was cool about taking it back. It's too bad, it was a good price. Thanks again.
  7. I purchased a used G34 and noticed some material was taken off under the trigger guard to allow for a higher grip. Not a lot was removed and I didn't even notice it when I first looked over the gun. Is this production legal? I checked the rule book but only found something regarding revolver grips.
  8. I love the 15" PRI I have on my AR and Lancer makes a really nice one but their 308 versions have a larger diameter than their AR version. Because of that, I went with JP for my 308. They have a brilliant offset mounting system that allows it to use the same tube they use for their AR models.
  9. I've been running an 18" JP barrel for years. A few years back, I got one of their 16" middy as a backup upper. I shot both side by side with all things equal except for the barrel. The 18" was noticeably softer enough for me to sell the backup upper. Many years ago, I tried the a 14.5" carbine gas system with a BC comp at a match. My doubles were a lot slower because it was bouncing a lot. I'll never do that again.
  10. You'll have to complain longer and louder next time - just like politics. Congrats to Nils!!!! Just think what he could do with a decent scope.
  11. I shot a Rem 1187 for 4 years before I switched to a M2. The M2 does kick harder but I don't notice it when the clock goes off and being able to load faster makes up for it. If you want to go with a gas system for less recoil but stick with a Benelli style for easy loading, there is always the Versa Max.
  12. There nothing more tactical than a drum. My vote is yes even thought I don't see myself using it unless the roller coaster stage is brought out again.
  13. Had to put our other dog to sleep yesterday. She lasted a lot longer than I expected and I'm glad she gave us time to get over the first one passing away. It would really suck if they both went around the same time. She was 15 years and 4 months. We had the vet come to our place. This is a tough one to explain to the kids because she didn't pass naturally like the other one. We are now dogless for the first time in over 17 years. That will take a little getting used to.
  14. Looking at the specs on those barrels, the only difference is the profile at the gas block to the muzzle. The med contour uses a bull barrel profile with a 0.936" gas block. I like the idea of a 0.750" gas block so you have more gas block options if you don't go with a JP. I'd go with the light contour myself and wish they had that option with their 20" barrels. I always wondered why they went with a heavier profile at the end of the barrel. Isn't that a bad place to add weight to the barrel?
