I'd say I agree with that. I've never had a unreliable Benelli at all, heavy bolt or light bolt.

You are correct on the description of inertia operation, Pat. The acceptable bolt mass range for the system to work is actually pretty wide in my experience.

For practice, I get Remington Gun Club 1 1/8 oz loads in large volume from Brownells. All of my Benelli's have extremely light bolts, lighter than anything normally available from any of the popular exising Benelli gun smiths. Mine all run loads down to and including 7/8 oz flawlessly.

With a pattern like that it'd work great for the 3Gun Nation matches. Hmmm.

thanks for the pics

You'll need a heat gun to heat up the threads/factory loctite to remove it. It'll get really hot before it starts to give.

Aaron, Jeremy, and Mose put together a great match! The range complex where this match was held is nicer than any other I've ever seen.

Break in is pretty much bull. Running 100 rounds as fast as possible through a SS barrel is a tad abusive. Trying to wear it out prematurely?

This team who you need to watch out for in 2013.

That's got to be a hoot!

Some jersey wearing dude told me FEB 16.

Please, please, please, leave the green Saab targets in the woodshed this year.

What I first noticed was that the powder drop started to do incomplete belling of the 9mm brass to work properly with my Mr Bulletfeeder. This is because of the hairline crack causing the press to not complete the full downstroke. About a dozen more pulls of the handle and the crack became very apparent and it felt very odd when pulling the handle.

The link is aluminum for sure. I'd love to have a replacement custom made out of steel but it'd cost 5x what an OEM Dillon replacement arm would cost.

This same 1050 broke its crankshaft earlier this year. I do not use or own an autodrive of any kind. This 1050 is not quite 4 years old and has loaded about 100k rounds.

I don't think the gap will cause you any problems whatsoever. Long tubes commonly back off during continued firing and it causes no issues.

I don't watch other shooters in my squad.

Yeah I'm familiar with the credit card dispute possibilities available. It took Tripp 3-4 months to ship the mag after I had paid for it with a credit card. Along with the return time frame and their place burning down it was around 6 months total. It was way beyond the dispute period allowed by my credit card company.

I tried contact multiple times but never got an answer. Since their place burned to the ground....hopefully that junk mag they sold me burned with it.

I bought a 52 round one from them. It didn't work at all so I sent it back to be fixed last year. Then their place burned down, presumably with all the records of them ever selling me a magazine.

4.4.3.No magnum, nitro, or other high velocity/specialty shells are allowed. Dang I'll leave the bunker busters at home then.

And you think you had problems hitting rifle targets over 150 yards in the past? Try this new mounting method out!

I'm in!

I'm pretty darn sure Alaskapopo is Taran and Daniel's go-to man for all the best gear intel so everyone needs to listen up. I could be wrong.
