Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. MGW is outstanding, buy once cry once, they also have great customer service.
  2. I have both, but the 1050 hands down is the best machine. I have bullet feeders on both which makes them great, but the 1050 primer system and priming on the down stroke is the cats meow. Don’t get me wrong the 650 is a good machine, but I would never give up my 1050. Good luck with your purchase
  3. The one other thing I would add is UFO light kit, that thing is excellent for being able to see powder in the case before the bullet seats. I don’t run a powder check die because I have a Mr Bullet Feeder, and I have always liked to have that visual on the powder. It is a great light, I have one on my 650 and also on my 1050 and it is well worth the cost. Just my 2 cents, enjoy your new press
  4. He is a great EBay seller and my favorite thing since sliced bread is the primer stop switch. That little device has made my life so much better when changing things or adjusting dies on the press. I have ordered several items from him for my presses, again a great person to deal with.
  5. Just do it, it will help you deal with the depression that comes along with your bad back. I just had my 6th surgery on the first of June and I look forward to getting back out there again. I dealt with back issues for years but also nerve damage in my right leg which I where a brace for when I shoot. I have shot and worked 2 Nationals and a few Area Matches and it was a great experience. My CRO’s on my stages was very helpful and understanding to my condition, but I always made sure I wasn’t a burden. I always worked short stages and without steel so I didn’t have to bend over. It is very doable and my advice is just get out and do it. Start slow and build up your stamina, like I said it is something to take your mind off the bad s#!t that comes along with a back injury.
  6. I have built a few custom guns with JEM frames with custom serial numbers. They are great people to deal with and have a very good quality product at a great price. You definitely can’t go wrong with a frame from them.
  7. Go with the 1050 it is the best thing since sliced bread, the best being priming on the down stroke??????. I have a 650 also but I would rather load or process everything on the 1050. Buy once cry once
  8. Buy once, cry once, well twice in my case. Love my 1050 and 650 great equipment and service
  9. I started with a Hornady LNL because of funds and they had a 1000 Bullets free when I bought it. I later added a case feeder but there was always something that needed worked on, I could only run about a few hundred and something messed up, very frustrating. I thought there wasn't any differences between the red and blue at the time, but I was wrong. Don't get me wrong if I wasn't shooting that much they hornady would probably of been ok, but I was shooting almost 2000 rounds a month and it just didn't work for me. I purchased a 1050 for 9mm because I am a production shooter and I also load for my buddies machine guns. The 1050 out of the box had a few issues but I was prepared for them thanks to this great source of info here. I polished the primer slide to start with a few other things and this thing runs like a sewing machine. I added a MBF and with a few tweaks this thing is freaking awesome, I spend more time loading primers and cleaning brass. I also bought it to process my rifle brass, but haven't started that yet. I am going to process it on the 1050 and load on a used 650 I bought and sent back and had rebuilt, which shipping was the only charge I had. I wish I would of started with the mighty blue wonder, but I learned buy once, cry once. Do it and don't look back, you won't regret it.
  10. I am shooting 147gr blue bullets through my scorpion with no issues
  11. I have cerakoted several ar's and their barrels, and I haven't heard of any problems from any of the people. If you feel you will be shooting so much that you will get over the temp range, have the barrel done in air dry. I have coated quite a few suppressors with the air dry and haven't had any issues with color change. Hope it helps and have a good day.
  12. Why not move to limited instead of open? I understand that it is on the shooter but if he or she was moved to limited he or she still maybe able to compete at a competitive level and it wouldn't be as such as a disadvantage as being moved to open division. I understand rules are rules, but just wanted to throw it out there.
  13. Running blue bullets 147gr in my cz, love the price and how well they shoot
  14. I was in the same boat, started reloading with a Hornady but I honestly spent more time trying to get the press to run perfect then I spent loading. I am not bashing Hornady I just had some issues with my case feeder jamming or dropping flipped cases. I only reloaded 9mm with the case feeder but never could get it all to run smooth. I won't go into the rest of the little issues I was having but decided to make the switch to a 1050, I wish I would of done it years ago. Now my 1050 wasn't without its own issue but once that was taken care of not a single issue. I can walk in with a handful of primer tubes and be done in less then a hour. The first batch of loading I had problems with it smearing primers and smashing primers. I did a little research on the great Enos forum and with a little work problem solved. I cleaned and polished the primer slide and all the parts in the area and it solved the problem. I reloaded about 500 rounds yesterday using federal primers without a single issue, I couldn't be happier. My only problem now is that I spend more time loading primers in the tubes then I do reloading, so now I will have to buy a primer loader and a bullet feeder to free up even more time ?. I just wish I would of done this years ago, the Hornady served me well to start and the 1000 free .45's I got when I bought it was the major push for me to buy it. I learned a lot about reloading, while working on making it run smoother so I am thankful for that. Now I just make sure the powder and primers are full, set a bullet pull the handle, set a bullet and pull the handle. Life is a lot easier with the 1050 and I love it. The time with your family with be greatly increased with the 1050 so don't even give it a second thought.
  15. I have been running a lnl for about 5 years. I bought it because I got a 1000 free bullets with it at the time and I was short on cash, but honestly I wish I would of just bit the bullet and got a 650. If my lnl is clean and adjusted correct I love it, but it seams that every time I start to reload I have to tinker with it to get it going smooth. I added a case feeder thinking it will speed up the process and don't get me wrong it does but it also need constant tinkering also. I finally bit the bullet and purchased a 1050 since all I am loading is 9mm at this point. I am trying to decide if I keep the lnl or sell and get a 650, I really just don't want to take the hit for all I have invested in the lnl. I wish I would of drank the koolaid and purchased that big bad mf a long time ago, that 1050 is the cream of the crop and is a lot easier on my shoulder when it comes to lots of reloading. Good luck and I am sure you will come to the right choice.
