Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Had a similar experience some years ago with a Glock 30. Handload with a medium load. Don't remember powder, probably Unique. Using Jacketed bullet. Blew out right side of magazine release and cracked the receiver. Fortunately I was shooting left handed. Sent the gun to Glock and they saved the slide. They put it back together for a reasonable price at the time. No accusations of "Double charge" I think a double charge would probably have done more damage. I was using brass that I had used in the past for other 45's. (1911 and 645). I don't know what age your 21 is but take a look at the feed ramp and see how much is unsupported. I don't have the 30 anymore but happily load some newer 19's. I have no interest in reloading for any factory barrel besides the 9mm in a Glock. These things happen and it isn't always operator error.
  2. Try powder valley they had some today
  3. Most people cannot reach a mag release while the weapon is properly gripped. What works for a lot of shooters is to pull the gun to your left with the trigger guard. This puts the mag release under your thumb while you grab your new mag. When you seat the new mag you can push the pistol back with your left thumb.
  4. Get a WFT trimmer (World's Finest Trimmer) I have trimmed up thounds of cases and it is reasonable in price. Just need a hand drill to go with it.
  5. I have had one for quite a while. Works great. Have trimmed a whole pile of 223. The 308 and 3006 models can be used with their sister cartridges too.
  6. Thanks for the help
  7. What is the going rate for once fired 9mm brass? It is either Federal or WW. I have an opportunity to get a larger quantity and wonder what would be a fair price per 1000. Thanks for any input.
  8. I just bought a "as it should be" upgrade for my 550. I have probably had the press for 20 years and I am kicking myself that I didn't do it sooner. I am standing up when I load now and I DO love the roller handle and the bullet trays with cartridge bin. Looking at the pictures doesn't do it justice. I appreciate your fast service . I think it took your comments on the various machines for me to realise that this would be cost effective. I am loading 8 different calibers and now look forward do increasing my output. Thank you Brian!
