  1. I got LOTS of smoke with TG and Precisions. Is anyone else seeing this? I have a lot of bell on the case to prevent scraping off any coating during loading, but I am wondering if the EGW undersize sizing die makes the case small enough enough to remove some coating?

  2. I "feel" like I'm in the minority here, and I'm glad to see so many passionate 1050 fans. I hope to become one of them if I can chase the gremlins out of mine.

    For those expecting a straight up trade, 650 for 1050:

    I'm no rocket surgeon, and I'm certainly no Alvin Einstein :huh::blink: , but there aren't any turnip trucks near me either... ;)

  3. I'm with AZ38super. I have a 650 and a 1050. The 1050 is somewhat faster when it works, but much more trouble to keep running than a 650 - at least mine is. I actually prefer the primer system on the 650, because I have better "feel".

    Buy another 650 if it makes you happy, and take the $500+ you save and buy bullets. I regret not doing the same when I was making the exact same decision.

  4. I'm shooting a Bushmaster Government profile and getting 1/2 to 3/4 moa with Varget/Nosler 69's, and Benchmark/Sierra blitzkings.

    The profile under the handguard tapers from 0.675 to 0.610, and is 0.730 past the gas block. The barrel with no gas block or sight tower weighs 2lb 3oz. Might be worth taking a look at.

  5. I just got some of the new Dawson competition followers, both for 38 and 40/45. I tried the 38 in an STI open mag and the follower doesn't make all the way up to top of the feed lips -- it gets hung up, then stuck in the mag.

    It seems like the follower is too long for the mag. I noticed that the 38's are significantly longer than the 40/45's.

    This is on an ISMI spring if that matters.

    Anyone have any experience with these??
