CMonty Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 My .40 Edge doesnt run factory ammo 100%, however loaded long it has never failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm31 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 So.....can you store/keep your reloading press and supplies in an unheated area? I can make some room in the garage to reload, but I'm not sure there is a place in the house to store supplies and reload....and the garage is unheated.

xrayfk05 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Buy a cheap hygrometer to see how humid is in the garage. My garage has a 70% humidity and stuff rusts pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeypoker Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I use to keep all mine in an unheated garage and all was well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy27al Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 There are several companies that sell ammo designed the run in the 2011 platform. In my case, I buy .40 major ammo loaded to 1.18 that runs perfectly in my gun. No problems and not a significant price increase Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billm67 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I have been loading ammo for 35 years. I couldn't imaging doing this type of shooting without reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm31 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 I found a friend with a Dillon 650 and he loves to reload. He said all I need are the components and time and we can reload all I want to reload...I think I am in business. Thanks for the replies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwontanamo Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I am actually selling my STI edge in 40 S&W. I buy all my ammo through freedom munitions ($220 approx/1000rds) and use the brass buy back program to get reimbursed for any range brass I send them (as long as its ammo they make). Interested?

Malcolm31 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks for the offer on the pistol....think I'll stick with 9mm since I have buckets of 9mm brass at this point. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g mac Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yup, learn to reload or start to reload, because you'll going to need it in this sport. It seems like a necessity, due to mainly economical advantages. You can also tweak your loads to various needs/scenario/gun (minor vs major, plinking, accuracy, etc). If you have no experience with reloading, read and learn about it first. Asked/learn from your experienced buddys about it. Maybe start with single stage press to learn the basics first, then move on to progressive. Anyway, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaShot Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 If you want to shoot 9mm and you want reliability with factory ammo, keep shooting a Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthshine402 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 +1 on reloading first. I got into this game in January of this year and I shoot a Glock 34 (I shoot USPSA and 3 gun.) In may I picked up Dillon 650 and love loading on it. My times, and more importantly, my ability, has improved dramatically once I started to shoot ammo crafted for my gun. IMHO it's as critical as a good set of sights and a good trigger. In a few years, when I buy another gun for USPSA, I'll add a caliber to the 650. Side note- I constantly waffle aboutt he Glock/2011 platform. I do like the 2011 trigger more. I have a Glockworx trigger on my 34 and although it's outstanding it isn't as good as a 2011. What I do love about the glock is the weight. The gun is VERY easy to move around and manuver. I've borrowed a few 2011s and I'm concerned with (for me anyways) how much slower it is to wave the gun around. Transition times are simple to reduce with reasonable dry fire.
