Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. CZ-USA just posted on Instagram that the Shadow2 is now production legal. Congrats gents.
  2. Eggleston Munitions has zombie green as a standard color. I have no personal experience with them.
  3. I hate to be that guy, but there are so many threads on this forum that cover all the questions you are asking (nufinish, case lube, tumbling etc etc etc). Just start searching the forum, read the threads and decide what makes sense to you. Then start reloading a bunch of ammo and, like anything, examine your process and see where you can improve it. You're just not going to know the best process for YOU until you start cranking the handle.
  4. Just measure the thickness of the case. You can take an average if it's mixed brass, doesn't matter. Add two thicknesses of the brass to the bullet diameter set your dies there. You just want to remove the bell from the powder die. ETA: I've had no problems doing it as I described. I've read of and seen issues with over crimping like keyholes in targets and reduced neck tension. Reduced neck tension could cause setback and give you a kaboom.
  5. I noticed the round in the picture you posted you are using the flat point side of the seating stem. I flipped mine to the other side (again with the same Bayou 147) and got MUCH more consistent results. It grabs the round section of the bullet and I believe it allows it to self center somewhat. Also, make sure you lock down your dies with the handle all the way down with a round in the die. I also use Dillon dies but on a 650.
  6. This. I can run up to 1.17 OAL in my G19s with the Bayou 147s and have 0 feeding issues. I run the same bullet at 1.14 in my G34 because the magazines require a slightly shorter OAL. I also run them at 1.14 in my CZ, which is relatively long, and the CZ's are notorious for needing a shorter OAL. My vote would be to try a longer OAL and I think it will give the bullet a better chance to clear the feed ramp.
  7. Beauty. Really like the look of the grips. I've never noticed it before, but yeah my mags do rattle a bit. Definitely wouldn't say they're very noisy though
  8. This is what I was referring to above. Have you tried flipping the insert to the round nose side? I use it even on Bayou flat point 147s and resolved this issue. Can't go wrong with the Redding die regardless, but might be able to salvage using the Dillon die. I have 0 issues now.
  9. Just throwing out another suggestion as I had a similar problem on my 650 with Dillon dies. I had the bullet seating die set up with the flat point stem instead of the round point side. I would get rounds that looked exactly like the one in your picture. Switched it to the round side down and stopped having the problem.
  10. I was pretty surprised how easy it was to setup. Got it up and running in no time. Couple easy issues to solve and boom, just start pulling the handle. Now to stop myself from getting the 1050...
  11. Just set up my MBF I got on a Black Friday sale on my 650. I wish I would have bought it sooner. Worth every penny.
  12. N320 is available right now at a lot of places online. Powder Valley being one. Definitely not cheap compared to other options, but cleaner and very soft shooting. N320, WSF, and Ramshot Comp are all good ones with 147 Bayous. WSF is very dirty at minor PF. YMMV
  13. I've left cases in my 650 case feeder for a while, like a week or two, after lubing them and the one shot doesn't work nearly as well as when fresh. They still ran through the machine fine though.
