  1. Dremel....keeping real gunsmiths in business for 88 years!
  2. I have a Competitor 38super. Has the one piece barrel / comp. IIRC, the newer versions had a flat top on the rear of the slide where the site should be. Mine does not. Don't know the year. In my gun, the hotter the load, the flatter it shoots. Running an 8lb recoil spring. If you reload, try a 115 JHP with 10.5 VV N105 @1.235. It will shoot very flat, but I caution you, it will be very loud.
  3. 3.2 of plain Clays @1.135
  4. I'm assuming that you are looking for 9mm? https://www.doubletapsports.com/aftec/aftec-38-sc-9mm-extractor I make no claim as to the validity of the company, as I have never done business with them.
  5. Oversized firing pin hole. If it were over pressure, the edges of the primers would be flat.

    TSO Romeo 3 max/ XL

    Try some 180 grain coated with 3.2 grains of plain Clays in the TSO.
  7. They have. The search function is your friend. https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/306728-my-platypus-arrived/#comment-3378167
  8. I almost died reading that. Needs punctuation so people can take a breath
  9. "Can I do it with milk!?" Nobody...
  10. Enough. Attitude Please be polite. Or if not polite, at least respectful. No bickering. Regardless of the subject matter. Antagonistic, offensive, or quarrelsome tones are not acceptable. No trolling. No alternate accounts. If we have to visit this again, forum suspensions may be appropriate. This means ALL who are involved.
  11. Absolutely real. British law defines a "pistol" as a firearm with a barrel shorter than 30 cm (12 in) or a total length of less than 60 cm (24 in)[23] (this definition encompasses revolvers, revolving pistols). Only muzzle-loading pistols—including muzzle-loading revolvers—are permitted; in practice all such firearms use black powder—a Class 1 explosive—as the propellant. Small quantities of muzzle-loading pistols and revolvers in various calibres, which comply with the regulations, are manufactured.[24] All other pistols are mostly prohibited in Great Britain, with some exceptions such as pistols used for the humane dispatch of injured animals (such as deer) and some historical firearms. This law created a new market for "long-barrelled revolvers" and "long-barrelled pistols", firearms with a permanently attached extension to the grip, making them long enough to fit under the legal definition of a rifle. Long-barrelled pistols in single-shot, or long-barrelled revolvers, both of any calibre, or semi-automatic in .22 rimfire, are all permitted with a Firearm Certificate.[25]
  12. Alright guys, either answer his question or move on...don't dog pile him.
  13. It means that he knows that Charlie is a GM in eating!
  14. If you have access to regular Clays, try 3.2 with a 180 coated bullet. Should be about 135 PF and will make you giggle when you shoot it.
  15. Not quite. 8.1.2.2“Double action”–chamber loaded, hammer fully down or de-cocked 8.2 Competitor Ready Condition This designates when, under the direct command of a Range Officer: 8.2.1 The firearm is prepared as specified in the Written Stage Briefing and is in compliance with the requirements of the relevant Division. 8.2.2 The competitor assumes the start position as specified in the Written Stage Briefing. A competitor who attempts or completes a course of fire where an incorrect start position was used must be required by a Range Official to reshoot the course of fire. If they started or shot the COF with the hammer cocked, safety on, and the requirements of the relevant division was for a hammer down start, then they had an incorrect start position, and must reshoot the COF. It is NOT a move to Open, merely a reshoot, using the CORRECT start position.
  16. I have never loaded using Ramshot. The above was a question to the OP....13 years ago.
  17. We are currently experiencing a substantial spam attack on the forum. We are doing our best to ban the spammers as soon as we see them, but some may slip through. Please notify us ASAP if any pop up. Thank you!
  18. There is a cure. I use a rod just a little longer than the tube (RL550), with a 90° bend in the top of it. When the last primer is used, the follower rod drops into the primer cup when the primer slide is moved back from operaring the handle, effectively stopping the press. The handle will go up and down, but the primer slide is locked up to the rear. Since you are constantly looking back and forth, grabbing bullets and brass (no case or bullet feeder), very hard not to notice.
