I just checked Blade Tech and didn't find any holsters specifically for the 5.25. Which holster is that and did you have to call Blade Tech to order it or were you able to order it from the website? Thanks

Can I use a .22 Magnum pistol in Steel Challenge? Thanks

Found this on another forum-might make a good gift for your friends/gun enthusiasts: http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/mugs/eaa0/?pfm=rightcolumn_NewStuffFTW_1

No way to scan the log sheet and then print it?

I will bring that up to him next time I see him. Good point

Is the Station 1 locater a #5? I've been using a .40 Station locator and have the same symptoms you are describing. Was in Phoenix over the weekend and stopped by Dillon and the lady gave me a 9mm Station 1 locator-free. I love Dillon!!!

Interesting. I just installed a Hornady Bullet 9mm seating die and they recommend belling the 9mm case to .385--the bullet does seat perfectly using this amount of belling

I told you to take LSU and the points!!!

The president of my local IDPA club told me the XDm 5.25 9mm was going to be deemed illegal because of the added length over 5". Anyone know whether this is true or not? Thanks

To Nealio, How are you mounting the light to the 550? Photos?

Fiocchi I think makes primers. Isn't Tula also making primers? Also Wolf

Take LSU and the points, if any

Personally I like a position that puts me above the 550 so I can look down on the dies-especially into the case with powder. YMMV

You could use it on a 550 but you would have to go to a combination seating/crimping die for the last station-I think

I took some of the LED's that attach to one's cap and cut off the clips. Then used velcro to attach them to the side of my 550/650's---photos attached. My problem is leaving the light on after I finish and having to continually replace the batteries.

Try slanting them at an angle pointing forward.

Here's another one in Daytona Beach: http://smith-wessonforum.com/guns-sale-trade/215493-wtt-wts-s-w-m-p-9mm-5-dt-pro-17rd-7-xtra-mags-holster-mag-pouches.html#post136180687

Just use them-that's Lee's lawyer writing that.

I don't think it's possible to achieve a 1.5lb trigger pull on the XD's but stand to be corrected. There's no way I would want such a light trigger pull on mine-too much chance of an accidental discharge (for me anyway). YMMV

So you need to reduce the OAL. Start at 1.13 and then lower it .005 until it drops in the barrel and drops out of the barrel freely.

Stainless steel media is for wet tumbling-not in a vibrator.

Bob, You are certainly entitled to your opinion-no one is saying that you're not. It just appears that most of the members on this forum disagree with you. Could be different on another forum-try one. You've about exhausted your attempts on this forum to change opinion so why keep it up?

Thanks for the info. Just placed an order for 1000 too

I would agree with Ihatepickles that the OAL you are using sounds long for the XDm 5.25. I use Precision Moly 147g and have been using an OAL of 1.12. However, I see you are using Hornady XTP JHP's so the ogive may well be different and will let you use a longer OAL. Just give it the barrel check Ihatepickles describes above and see if the ammo passes.
