Fiocchi primers and DAA primer pro
nitrohuck replied to nitrohuck's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
So I love the Primer Pro, I’ve only cleaned the thing once after probably 12k rounds. the one catch is that Winchester primers don’t work very well, something I wish I knew before I bought 6k of them haha. I’d also assume the Winchester issue transfers to other primers too. The issue is that the primers have a very slight amount of factory lube on them, which slows them down on the feed ramp and causes very slow filling of the primer tube. CCIs have been my go-to. they work great, and to be fair I’m sure MOST primers will work great, I just haven’t tried a ton of different brands to test it out. you truly only need one primer tube. While you’re loading 100rds, the primer tube is filling itself up, and it will fill way faster than you could ever load 100rds on the press, so it’s ready and waiting for me every time I need to refill the press. I don’t have experience w the Dillon RF100, or the new DAA equivalent, so I don’t have any info to offer there. I was previously using a Vibra Prime which wasn’t bad, but a hell of a lot slower compared to the Primer Pro. all you need to do w the primer pro is load the hopper up, turn it on and start loading. I hope that info helps -
Fiocchi primers and DAA primer pro
nitrohuck replied to nitrohuck's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
Great feedback, thanks a ton for the info. I will be running an S2 w/ 11.5# spring as well so this is good news. -
nitrohuck started following CZ TS2 OR? , Fiocchi primers and DAA primer pro , Annual Maintenance or Spring Replacement for S2? and 2 others

Anyone here have experience w Fiocchi primers and the DAA Primer Pro? If you own one, you know that primers such as Winchesters have a very tiny amount of factory lube left on them, which gums up the mechanism and it becomes a pain in the ass to use. Hopefully fiocchis don’t have this problem, but wanted to throw it out to you all to hear experiences. as for Fiocchi SPP in general, they do seem to be decent primers from other threads I’ve read here. It’s the DAA issue I’m mostly concerned about.

Hooking finger in front of trigger guard
nitrohuck replied to BCGlocker's topic in Handgun Techniques
Don't listen to this guy, he doesn't know anything... -
This will be my second year going into the shooting season running a Shadow 2 Orange, I obtained the gun from another forum member last year, and did not really do anything to it, I simply just started running it and it ran great all season. This year I'm wondering if I should do some preventative maintenance or spring replacement, and want your all's input on what you all do in order to make sure your S2 keeps running. Note: I did replace the slide stop with a low profile one, so that is still pretty new. My understanding is that part is destined to fail at some point, but I don't think I'll need to worry about it this year.

Hunter HD Gold vs Ruby for Dot shooters
nitrohuck replied to nitrohuck's topic in Gear & Accessories
This is exactly the info I needed, thanks everyone. Will be ordering a set of Golds in the near future -
My understanding is that Ruby lenses are the best for red dot shooters, but they are not ideal at all if conditions aren't sunny. Gold lenses seem to be the more versatile of the two options, but they are not "as good" as Rubys are in sunny conditions w/ a red dot am I getting this info relatively correct? If I were to buy one pair of Hunters HD, does it make sense to just get the Golds since they are the most versatile? These will be prescription lenses, so given the price of them I didn't really want to buy multiple pairs if I could avoid it, at least for now.

My problem mainly is I run the DAA auto primer tube filler, and that thing hates Winchesters due to their having some factory lube still left on the finished product. It gums up the primer filler and just kinda jacks stuff up in general. I wish it wasn't the case, but CCIs have always run just fine in it
-
Never thought about this possibility, but wow... good to know this can happen. I typically just dump brass into the hopper, spray it a little and start loading away (9mm and .40)
-
I was told it would be unlikely to be factory produced given that there is no IPSC division for it, I believe I was told that by a CZ team member if memory serves that said, maybe CZ Custom would sell optic ready models... whenever the TS2 Oranges actually come back on the market again.

Carry Optics Shooters, Would you support 15-round CO?
nitrohuck replied to whan's topic in USPSA/IPSC Shooting
Personally I'd be for it, and I feel it would draw more of a distinction between CO and LO Also, it's a great excuse for me to throw a magwell on my Shadow 2, and let my wife know I'll be buying a TS2 Orange in the future -
My shooting is ok but I cant remember sht when beep goes beep
nitrohuck replied to Dfehr401's topic in Match Screw-ups
The above advice... Burn the entire stage plan into your head, close your eyes and run through it. Oh, and then do it again and again. Do it at realistic speed, don't just fast forward through the stage in your head. -
Fairplay, CO (or within 1-2 hours)?
nitrohuck replied to mreed911's topic in Travel, Locations, Ranges, etc.
Yeah, fair enough. Sadly I think you're gonna have a long-ish drive regardless of where you shoot a match in CO. But if you do make it out over to the COS area we'll be here
