Man, I hate painting also. In the process of moving and getting the house ready for sale. Wifey made me put in a new lamp in the kitchen. Left holes in the ceiling. Guess what, time to paint the whole ceiling.
I HATE PAINTING!!!

AND sometimes it has to do with a 25 year old spirit in a 50 year old body..........................................

I used the collet puller on my 550. Cycled the cases around and then dropped them into the akro bin. Took the cases and powder and ran them through the birdcage (media separator) and had primed brass. Took the powder and had fireworks.
Worked pretty slick once I found the tempo and tightness needed on the collet puller.
I got the collet puller because the cam type wasn't available in 40.

Like the others have said, you don't have to use it, but after using one shot it makes the press run so much easier. Couldn't believe how much smoother things went.

I just twisted them off the aluminum tubes. Wish I would have bought two vibra primes when I got mine.
Short sighted......................................

What do you all find to be the most cost effective way to buy bullets: on-line stores or local gun shops? I just priced some bullets from Midway but the shipping seemed pretty high to me. If you all get them on-line what are some other sources that I might try. I'm going to be loading .38 Spec for revolvers.
Thanks, Kim
Doesn't Midway offer the USPS Flat Rate now for shipping?

I just hate that they always wait until there is a failure or shortcoming in the system to implement something that should have been implemented to start with.
That's how policies are made. A mistake or weakness is found and rules are adapted. Or someone screws up!
Are we having fun yet???????

Has anyone run the ammo through the chronograph?
I was wondering if it was a 170 ish power factor or close to 185 like most factory 230 fmj.
Thanks!

I found that a Sierra 115 grain with 4.2 Titegroup was most accurate. Rainer 115 JHP was a close second. I got one three shot group from prone @ 50 yards at 1.5 inches.
As always, it depends on what your gun likes. Quality components are always good starting points.

Welcome to the joys of supervision!

I am so sick of Political Ads. Glad it will be over again soon!

What he said. At least you have primers!!!!!

Just finishing Road Construction Season, so I guess it's time for winter to rear it's ugly head.

Man I miss my Modified gun and I never got a chance to shoot it in a real Modified match.
Thanks for the videos.
You're just a fondler anyway!

I spoke with Mr. Skinner concerning 9 major in the Steelmaster. He said it would work, but the comp was designed for minor loads. I guess that is one reason why they make the matchmaster now. Both look like they would be fun to shoot.

5.9 did it. 850 average for 10 shots.
BTW, also check a 5.2 N320 load with Laser Cast, same results, 850 avg 10 shots.
Guess I will stick with those.
The Laser Cast shot a 3-4 inch group off the bench (just the butt of the gun on the bench) at 50 yards. Pretty impressive. Gun is a S&W Performance Center 1911.

I tried 5.8 today, chrononed avg of 813. Going to bump it up to 5.9.
Wolf primers, two five shot strings. Not a lot, but the last time I chronoed 5.9, it was a little higher than I wanted. We'll see what happens. I didn't use Wolf primers last time, so that may be the change.
If I get out tomorrow, I'll post the results.

Thanks for the info. I bought some a short while back and was looking for a good load.

If the wifey let you have that for a wedding cake she must be awesome!

I ran off 100 this morning. The nickel ones, just received from Wideners. Small sample, but no problems in mixed brass, some was Winchester as I did check for that.
No problems with ignition.
No high primers with a 550. I checked all the rounds. Did have to work to seat a few.
Stock STI Lexor, I think it is a 19 pound main spring, no change on the firing pin spring.
Good luck,

I shot 50 of the small rifle in my 38 super. Just got them from Wideners. Copper colored.
No problems, all fired, but they seemed a little harder to seat than Winchester.

5.8-5.9 N320 works great with the 200JFP.
