I bought a couple of cases of Federal magnum SP primers way back in the Clinton AWB days of primer famine. I had absolutely no issues with my Para. I did dial back my WST load back by a half grain and still made major confortably.

Never been to AZ, but Houston would be tough to beat. I could easily shoot 12 local matches (3G, USPSA, IDPA,Steel Challenge) a month if staying married was not a consideration.

Shortages during the Clinton AWB years taught me to keep a base stock on hand of primers and powder at all times. I decided to never get caught like that again. Wife did get a little worked up when I came home from the funshow (pre Sandy Hook) with two 40 lb kegs of BLC2 tho.......

I have had very good accuracy with their 124 gr HPs in a TTI G34 and an XDm. I can buy them locally at the Freedom Munitions store. Been shooting them for a couple years now. I just loaded my first 1000 rounds 180 gr HPs for a TTI G35. No range time yet due to a major remodeling project underway.

Presently I have got a TTI G35 lost somewhere in the USPS jungle. It was shipped by a member here to my FFL in Houston. He runs his FFL on the side out of his day job office. Seems the USPS guy did not want to get out of his truck at the address to even attempt delivery. According to the on line tracking, they marked it "incorrect address" and sent it back to the sender. I was surprised there is no way to reroute or redeliver a package through USPS like you can with UPS and FedEx. Tried their customer service line and sat on hold twice for 30 mins and no one ever picked up either time. Likewise their customer service E mail line. Two days later with no reply as well. The gun cannot be tracked on the return trip. Right now I would give it no more than 50/50 that the gun ever resurfaces. I will never ship anything of value by USPS again.

Xtreme has a pretty cool video on on the process on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/#!/FreedomStartsHere

Patrick Sweeney's book series on all things AR15 are fantastic. I believe he covers cleaning and maintenance in volume 1. I buy through Amazon.

My older Winchester loading manuals specifically advise against the use of burn rate charts to develop loads. Therefore they did not publish this data in the manual. The only load published in this manual for 9mm is 4.5 grains with a 115FMJ @1125 FPS and 32K pressure. I loaded the following with WSL in the mid 90s for use mostly in my first G17. Use at your own risk. 4.6 gr with a Rainer 124 gr plated bullet 4.0 Ditto (very light load for use in a WWII era gun) 4.4 gr with a lead 115 gr RN 4.5 gr with Zero 124 gr FMJ (this one showed signs of pressure)

I have a Chase card from Southwest airlines. It is hard to use on the web anywhere compared to my other cards...gun related purchase or not.

This topic has interest to me. I have same problem cropping up. Normally when manually clearing my M2.

Proud owner of several SA 1911s including a 9mm loaded. Excellent service from all right out of the box.

4.7 grains here with an Xtreme 124 gr JHP. Very accurate load.

Midway USA had 77 SMKs W/C in 500 ct boxes early this week. I have been running 69 SMK with 24.1 gr TAC. Consistently getting MOA but nothing better. However in my SPR with 18" White Oak 1:7 bbl, I am good on 4 MOA plates out to 500 yards.

My SA loaded 9mm and metal form mags have not had a single hiccup in the three years since I bought it. Great gun right out of the box.

I am running an 18" White Oak Armament for most 3G matches. On the occasional match where everything is set in pistols bays and more of a "hoser" style, I run an older Bushmaster 12" with long flash hider and a C-More. I built the shorter of the two for USPSA rifle side matches back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth.
