  1. In my open gun, mixed brass and shoot it as long as it passes a hundo gauge. With Revolver (yes they still exist), Winchester Cases Only and I’m a bit pickier as a split case there causes some big headaches.. I have a spare cylinder I check all my loaded up clips with...
  2. This will be a great price point for the features mentioned. The big question will be the warranty and how well they honor it..
  3. How extensive was and fitting / Finish work you had to complete?
  4. Why are you loading so short with a 124gr? Is your chamber really that short? Did you Chrono this load? Seems pretty short for that much powder..
  5. You will need to relieve the backside of the blast shield slightly. I used a mill, others have used a file or Dremel.
  6. Nice video. Just need to put primers out on the shelf and we’ll all help take some of the burden of making the ammo off your shoulders!!
  7. We have an 87 year old who keeps up with pasting and setting targets. Shoots Revolver major with most doubles covered by a damn quarter!! Everyone ribs him if he slips in a C/D hit!!
  8. Plain steel as it is the bluing.... The more polished the surface the more of a Plum or Violet color will show. May want to experiment a bit. The process does require evenly heating the surface... If you Google Plum brown finish you’ll get an idea of the color / finish ranges..
  9. I’ve replicated this finish, as on old muzzle loaders, on some replica’s I built. You can do the same using the Birchwood Casey Plum Brown barrel finish coating several times over to get a heavier Shenzhen and then steel woofing as desired. You can then oil down to protect.
  10. Looks like a worn Plum Brown Barrel finish? May not be but it sure looks close....
  11. MG’s are $20 more per 1k rounds. The demand has driven up raw material cost significantly so there was no way prices weren’t going to increase..
  12. If your going to shoot allot don’t even think about a single stage press. I started with a Dillon 550 which is a great press that requires you to be more involved in the process manually loading the cases & Bullets as well as manually rotating turret. I now run a Dillon 650. So, back to your question. I would just start with the 650 (750 now) and be done with it....
  13. There is absolutely no way to get into karting that is not gear heavy, $$ draining, time consuming!! It is an extremely competitive hobby.. Sure, you may want to start out simple but every race drives you harder!!! It would definitely fill your needs but be prepared.... I spent many hours preparing all week for the weekend and the UPS guy could get to my home with his eyes closed.!!!
  14. I only run coated lead for this reason.. On both plated and jacketed I saw bullet creep and was unwilling to crimp further. I now Bayou 160gr .358 using FCD and see no bullet movement..
  15. .055” ? I drilled mine out a bit larger to use a more common pin size.
  16. Bayou 160gr .358. Ordered 8/30/20, still a no show..... I’m guessing November ship...
  17. I had issues with my M&P when I moved up to 147gr Bullets. 115gr, 125gr were fine (all .355 dia) Problem went away with an Apex barrel...
  18. Not likely you’ll see back in a few weeks, more likely a few months.... The rod is reverse in it’s threading (lefty tighty instead of righty tighty) so when you get back check it again and if still an issue the blue locative suggested should work. I have had the best no issue results using only Winchester brass w/ TK .035” moons.
  19. While USPS is by no means stellar your isuue was caused by poor packaging. I would show these pics to extreme as the manufacturers I deal with would package much better than this...
  20. Slowed down further you can see this was the issue. Not sure if the pocket being empty would have completely eliminated the problem but I follow something I was told a long time ago.... If you don’t need it for the game, don’t carry it at the buzzer!! In this case looks like a phone, leave it in the bag!!! Sucks that it happened...
  21. WoW!!! That is an expensive way to make a cutaway model of a damn nice gun... $1600 plus a pair of shorts... Again, WOW!!
  22. I made one like the Dillon offering using same scale. All in, cost me <$20.00
