What is wrong with cast?

I have 5,000 of the above bullets I bought cheap to shoot in an AR. This is the powder I have the most of but also have Varget. I have searched and need some help finding load data for these rounds. Any help appreciated..... Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

^ I've had one for two years and I'm very happy with it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That is good to hear. Is it at all hard to see on your screen? Ideally I'd like to use an iPad...thanks Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

This is helpful. Another one that seems to have the highest resolution is: http://targetvisioncam.com/ I love to hear from someone who has used one... Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

After a couple of searches I was surprised not to find anything on long distance target cameras to help see the. BULLET holes from 500 yds out..sure I must have done something wrong. I am looking at a couple on line and the Target Master seems better then the Bullseye because of higher resolution and works with iOS. Anyone had experience with this new technology and care to make a recommendation? Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

Yep. More $ but cleaner and more consistent, less unburnt powder and less flash. Vv is the rolls Royce of powders. Yep. I found the 3n38 had 3 duplicates in one string of 10rds. What do you mean by "three duplicates"? Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

I guess we should clarify we are shooting plain 1911 w/5" barrel at minor velocities. Not race guns....

I find I try all other powders and come back to VV. more expensive but clean, low flash and accurate Probably use n320 most for 45, n340 for all others, n320 for 9mm and now 38Super sometimes. N340 is hard to beat...I'm just trying to get accuracy....not perfection, just accurate enough to know if it's me or the gun...also meters great in a progressive!

Thanks! Good info! Been have success with n320 and am trying the Winchester powder next... Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

Thanks for this feedback as it makes me feel much better about taking it out of the box! A big help! C Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

Then I will put it on 1050 and load 9 instead of 45. I did not know if one caliber or bullet profile worked better then another?

We found the answer and as usual it was us. Real happy with our machines! Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

I have an original Mr Bullet system still new in the box with "dies" for 9mm and 45acp. Question: Is the new model so much better I should sell the old and buy a new model? Which bullets are easier to load..9mm or 45acp? I want to set it up for one and forget about it. Bullets will be plated. Thanks for any feedback. C Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

N-340 is excellent. 3N37 is too slow in my opinion. C

I have both and love the 1050. I bought it for speed. But now appreciate it for being truly quality equipment that is a blast to run. The primer swage alone is worth the purchase to me...they run like a sewing machine! Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

My PRIMER SYSTEM ROCKER BOLT (#13296) came loose while I was reloading and now my machine is locked up because the primer punch is fully extended. What do I do to lower the primer punch? Screwing the Rocker Bolt back in has no affect. Any help appreciated. C Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

FWIW - I have three 1050s and three 550's. The 1050 will do circles around the 550 and it's like a broken in sewing machine! I use the 1050s for dedicated calibers and 550's for rifle and experimentation...c

Ha, I stand corrected. These are all at .354 even. I will have to eliminate all bell and try. I'm not at my shop but I wonder what the interior width is of a resized 9mm case with no bell? The way they dropped deep into the case I assumed they would still not work because I had very little bell to take up. I think I may have to raise the case sizer at the swage station on 1050 as well.

Sarge - .3545 will work because it is above 9mm/38 Super minimum spec of .355 and not below...these are .354 Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

I have 7,500 Remington 130 gr FMG RN bullets advertised on box as being .356 for 38 Super. Almost all are coming in at .354". I can't return them because I bought them so long ago, I can't remember where I got them. They drop too deep in my 38 Super case to get a good crimp and fit... Anyone had this problem? Can I use them in 9mm with no bell? I have tried to contact Remington directly but just get an automated response from emails referring me to a Dealer...anyone have a contact at Remington? It appears I will sell them for scrap....c Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

Loud and heavy recoil....most don't like...do a search for data Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

I believe CFE would be a waste as for the copper eraser to work the velocity is way beyond 45 acp.... Marine Corp Colonial Shooting Academy

I'd sell it and wait until I could afford to buy a used Les Baer or another semi custom fit gun... The cost of a decent trigger job is too expensive when you could start with a good foundation for a gun...

Brand new machines....
