I Have access to one running at 1200 with 7.3grn autocomp or 8grn silhouette. No spillage. I think the key is in the machine setup. All factory parts on the 1050.

4.3grn Clays@ 1.200AOL Once fired brass Bayou 180grn bullet Approx. 170pf Been loading this for 10yrs. Start at 3.8grn and work your way up.

Placed an order on the 17th, still no word. Phones don't work and no email response. Been also waiting over two months on powder valley. I'm no hoarder and dont plan on being one. The waiting game begins. Until such, I'll start looking at new hobbies.

Spirit is fine for domestic. They will not transport internationally.

I used to build imports. 10 years ago I had an All Wheel Drive Mitsubishi running in the 10's. I now cruise around in a tweaked BMW 335i twin turbo.

Grumpy, I'm also into race cars. Have to balance the spending between the two. Plus if your into racing, your automatically a tinkerer.

I am sure if you post a WTB in the classifieds you could buy one for half price. I was also frustrated with my hornady bullet feeder and had stopped using it because of noise and reliability. Over the holidays I had some free time on my hands (haven't shot since nationals) and figured I would redesign the feeder, since I already have it, and try to make it better. Well, I am happy to say that I am impressed with the final product. With a little precise tweaking I have it dropping consistently and I have also installed a switch to shut it off when full. The noise was surprisingly reduced due to the fact that the switch was shutting off so you would not be sitting there listening to bullets fall. My setup loads 9 and 40 consistently. Re-engineering time spent= a lot, parts=$6, and a little mill time for the dies. Now that I know what it takes I could probably set one up in an hour.

I shoot with Remoandiris and get 30rounds reloadable in 1 old style SVI and 2 new style SVI mags. All three mags run reliably with 30+1 and I only change springs once a year.

Already answered by USPSA: http://www.USPSA.org/uspsa-NROI-ruling-details.php?indx=51 "Production and Single Stack equipment locations are NOT intended to complicate loading before the start signal or unloading. (e.g. – a magazine may be retrieved from a front pocket to facilitate loading before the start signal or while unloading at the end of a COF without penalty)." looking at this rule, what if ( and i have seen many shooters do this) at the end of the COF the shooter removes the mag, insert said mag in front pocket, looks up and realize he has a MIKE on target and proceed to fire the chambered round. Just started shooting production and actually think its a fun division but i think i'll be heading back to LIMITED and OPEN. Too many IDPA type rules.

You might want to take apart the die and check the collets. The last time I had this problem my "A" collet was split in half. Hornady sent me a new one under warranty.
