  1. I found the more I tried to crimp, the more it would set back. Just touch it enough to remove the belling. I find my Dillon dies to size way more than any others I have tried!
  2. I shoot these as well and will add a side note: Watch the OAL on your reloads. Check them in the gun chamber!! If you look at the bullet it has a odd shape to it. So, it tends to hit the lands where other FMJ wont . I load these for a Springfield XDM 5.25 and the round chambers in all my 9mm except the springfield. They end up being too long. I'm sure the springfield chamber is a bit tight. Worth the few seconds to check. Like I said, they shoot great, but check OAL with your particular rig you will shoot them in. BTW...it's lot more than 100K
  3. I'm curious, when I load most of my SVI mags, sometimes one of the rounds in the mag sounds like it's ratteling around. The funny thing is this happens with almost any mag I have. I have some XDM mags that do it...1911 single stacks that do it. Etc I have always thought it was common. I would just like to verify it's common or I have been loading my mags wrong for years I'd be curious why they do that. Thanks Guys Joe
  4. I use those a lot and they work fine. You do need to watch for high primers. I've not Mic'd them up yet but for some reason my 650XL will give me a high one once in awhile and only with these? They are harder then most others as well. HTH
  5. Bwahahahahah I love it I'm so glad I chose correctly...Love my M2 I'm sorry really. I hope they make it right for you
  6. I feel stupid asking this but better ask than screw it up. I need some mag pouches for STI mags. Are they pretty much universal size? 9mm or 40 ?? And here comes the silly question. I shoot right handed. Do I get left hand mag pouches because I grab the mag with my left hand?......don't laugh Also, I use a CR speed belt. Any suggestions on mag pouches? Also looking for a good blade tech for a STI 1911 All advice is always appreciated.
  7. Yea, they are now all gone I think. He's also super backed up on reloads.
  8. I Also spoke to Matt He has a 6 month wait. Not too bad
  9. A-1 Premium http://www.theammoguy.com local pickup only 734-744-4646 Small Pistol and small rifle a friend and I just did a group buy from him. u can buy directly from the dealer
  10. you, sir, are wrong! Yea, I remember breaking those suckers down till there was no boot finish left on them (in the white) LOL, then dye and start over...Made for one nice soft ass comfy pair of boots! Semper Fi
  11. Now if we could just find some
  12. And here is a good point. Being so new to the game I find myself thinking...Do I really need this YET! To want is one thing right. I could see this putting a dent in my/our shooting budget. I may very well be better off stock pilling some bullets/powders/primers so we can shoot more. My Wife says do it, she however only wants to make me happy. Hmmmmmmmm tough one Is 3500 really too much? The darn thing goes for 4800 or so. Is it who built it that makes it so darn expensive...A name thing?
  13. This is the gun....from the burkett site. The one I have is the same thing except add all black nitride finish
  14. Wow, lots of advice. I feel like I can't pass on this deal. I told my friend that kind of cash is not in my budget for a few months. He told me to pay him when I could. I shot the gun today and wet my pants. It was awesome. It's a ramped barrel. I see folks saying get another top end in 40? Could I get another top end if the original is a 9mm? I went online and priced out the same gun with the mags etc and it came to 4800 I think. This would be my dream gun.... I checked some of the guns at shootersconnection and am wondering why the Matt Burkett pistol costs so much more. I will say the thing feels like its running on bearings. I have never felt a slide so smooth. What am I missing?
  15. I've always wanted one and I pick now to try to get one I mainly shoot 3 gun but would not mind starting any other shooting sport. Part of me want to buy a Predator from a friend he had made from Mark Burkett but I think he might be asking too much, 3500 it's a 9mm. Would be great for 3 gun but thats about it. I think he has 4 mags with it as well Part of me want to buy a frame kit and maybe have a .40 made so I could cover anything. I want to have a double stack 1911 style pistol!! My fear is not being able to get any magazines for one if I buy a frame kit! Am I being overly paranoid? I see WTB in the classifieds all the time for STI mags. I think the parts will be easy to find for the pistol build but not the mags. Any advice? Caliber? Ramped , not ramped? Pretty new to these guns so have zero idea on mag size MM etc. I think I would favor a .40 because I could shoot ipsc etc with it as well. Look forward to advice and suggestions Joe
  16. Looks to be a done deal here. Mark Otto gave me a ring and is sending a load 2 vest for the Kid. Pretty Awesome Can't thank you enough Mark!! He's gonna love it!
  17. I wonder if you can go the other way. Use small pistol in say 223???
  18. Where did you find some in stock? MLM I asked my Friend but he ask that I don't give out his number. I guess he has a million folks calling him all day long. He normally does not sell to the general public. I only wish I had bought more
  19. Not sure, but they sure are cheaper
  20. He just got out of the Corps so he has a few dump pouches he said he would use. As far as him using my belt...LMAO..Ya could wrap it around him twice..LOL well almost
  21. Tried some today...Work like a charm and load like a charm. I think my load got a tad better too
  22. Thank god I have a good friend with 400 thousand primers willing to sell me some at normal prices. And yes, he makes ammo for a living. Last year I wasn't a shooter. Guess I picked the wrong year to start. Or shooter that shot alot anyway I called a local guy here that sells brass. I bought some 223 from him about 2 months ago (before the mess) he sold me un processed brass for 50 bucks a thousand. Today I call him and he want 60 bucks for 500. I told him no thanks. I also asked him why he doubled his price because he gets all his brass free from a friend on the PD. He hung up on me! Yea.....Pig It's funny too, he claimed to be a shooter and he said he won't screw other shooters. Guess money talks and Shit walks these days.
