OP flipped primers can be caused by the plastic tip on the primer feed tube, check and make sure that it is not damaged or being hit by the primer cup each time it returns. Looks like your other issues have been cured. Other than the primer issue would you say that the 750 was a good upgrade from the 650 I have been seriously thinking about doing it because I like the individual primer feed system on the 550.

I'm definitely getting contact and causing pressure spikes I blacked a couple bullets after going all the way down to 1.065. A load that is working every other nine millimeter I have including running flawless in my MPX. Is showing pressure signs in the X5.

I just picked up a new Sig X5 Legion. Looking at my standard load, That I have been loading in 9 MM forever MG 124 JHP 4.0 grains of titegroup at 1.095. Testing with my dummy rounds indicates that this could be too long for the SIG. Does anyone here have experience with Montana gold jacketed hollow points and the X5 Legion for overall length. I'm really hoping I can use this bullet as I have several thousand on hand. Thanks

Thank you for those that took the time to give me a reply. Great info.

I was just wondering if any of you guys had a recommendation on somebody to open the throats on my 627 cylinder. I do not want to attempt this project myself, I would prefer to have a professional who has much experience do the job. Thanks

Looks like 8.0 of hs6 is a good starting point with a MG 124.

Major pf. thanks

Like the title says I'm just looking for a good safe starting point with Hs6 in 38 super using a Montana gold 124 hollow point. I'm going to be running this load in a Clark custom built Caspian. Thanks

Hey guys just picked up a double stack Caspian open gun built in the 90s. Looking to update the C-more mount to something direct instead of having a Picatinny setup. Currently the gun has a double sided 4 hole "scope doctor" mount. Can anybody give me a place that has a single-sided mount that I can connect the C-more directly to instead of having the extra mount. I would love to use the existing holes in the gun if I can. thanks

This kind of goes along with Seanc's question. I am using my 627-3 V comp 357 mag with short Colts and Berrys plated bullets for USPSA matches. I am getting good results but would like to use cast lead and coated bullets for practice and cost savings. I have run into some erratic velocity issues using tite group and 170 grain coated bullets. After talking with my bullet caster and checking my cylinder throats they appear to be around.356. I was contemplating having them reamed to .358 and was wondering what you guys thought about the possibility of loss of accuracy using jacketed and plated bullets. thanks

This is almost identical to my load except I use Berry's plated.

I just recently was looking for a moon clip holder and based on recommendations here I went with North Mountain. I'm very pleased with the decision and will be using it for the first time in a match tomorrow. They even had one that worked with my "enhancement"!

Thanks guys.

I recently started playing with short Colt loads in my new 627. I have set up the dies so that I am able to use a roll crimp in a Lee Factory Crimp Die. I noticed a lot of guys on here are using 9 millimeter taper crimp. Is there a reason that is done or is it just for convenience. I seem to be having great luck and good accuracy with 3.4 grains of tite group and a Berrys 158. I have not chronographed the load yet but it feels good and extracts well.

I would get a newer gun. The older Smiths are going up in value every day!! Just buy a -5 without the lock and you should get what you need without extra cost.
