slap a dot on a limited major gun, load some 40 minor and you have a LO gun. that is what i am going to do for next season

i am not going to renew. i have no interest anymore shooting level 2 and above so don't need to be a member. i also don't care anymore what i am classified at. lifetime memberships are like lifetime warrantees. Usually its only good till they go belly up

9mm brass is all over the place depending on maker. some seat deeper than others . as long as its seated as deep as it will go, and its at least flush , its should go bang

i have one gun that is close to 30k rounds through it . how an i tell when a gun is worn out?

lee dies are known to size lower than dillion dies. that said, if those reloads ,besides not working in your gauge work in your gun, i would not worry about it. if you are really concerned relegate them to practice round. those gauges are many times cut for the min specs of 9mm. most guns chambers are not as tight .another question is why are you loading them so short. that profile should run at 1.15 easily

what sizing die are you using? looking at the pix of the round it looks like its not sizing all the way down. my opinion on the FCD is its fine for FMJ , but not so much for coated . i replaced mine with a lee taper crimp die and all types of bullets have no issue. Also, those rounds that do not case gauge , will they drop in and out of the chamber of the gun you intend to use them ? if they do, jsut shoot them

This is how i intend to get into LO with my 40 edge. low investment and will reload 40 minor

always post tumble my ammo to get the lube off. thousands of rounds done with no issues . i bet even ammo makers tumble their loaded ammo .

2018 SFX . the trigger pin is moving out by itself when shooting. i know its retained by the slide stop like a glock . i have tried to solve it but can't figure out why its moving . any hints?

this is one of the odd things i read about 1911 style slides. people say they can not be repaired. before the advent of commercial slides, lots of gun smiths would cut apart slides and weld them back to get what they wanted. they did not seem to have issues . lots of thing in the world are welded and if done correctly last a long time

the original RS comp must have been faster than the later batches. on the powder speed chart they list it faster than red dot and i can tell you for sure in my testing its not even close. it closer to sport pistol and n320. n320 must have changed through out the years as it seems to have slowed down also in my testing .

2.7 grains? that load is barely hitting 775 fps i would bet. RS comp published loads by the factory are very very conservative.

i have used both. the positive with RC comp is that its usually available, is light in color and fill the 9mm case well with normal loads. this helps prevent double charges . sport pistol postive is that the velocity was consistant and flowed through a measure like water . negative to me was the dark color and the fill. its not as bad as TG, but its possible to double charge a 9mm case . Also, its hard to find .

the only reason i would like LO/MA is that i can put back to use the 2 limited guns i have for a small price. no need to rebarrel them to 9mm. just get them milled and a red dot. if its LO/Minor i will just continue to shoot CO. i don't think LO/M will be as popular as many people think. investing $2-3k for a new gun when a $6-800 will do in CO with the same scoring .

i have reused bullets like that in the past for blasting ammo not expecting much accuracy. as long as the case has been resized i had no issue with set back. the cases,if you plan on resuing them with the present unfired primer in them , needs to be resized without a decap rod in it. i pick up a lot of 9mm ammo off the ground, break them down and reuse them .
