some "new" brass is in the works. If that doesn't fix it I'll just have more for when i do get it fixed. TK

Ok I think I figured it out. Yesterday I went to the gun store to get some fresh brass. After seeing new brass for $30 per 100 I just bought some wwb for $35 per hundred. I shot the first box of 50 and found 47 of them. Threw them in the press walked right back out in the back yard and shot all 47 with out a hiccup. No failures of any kind. I'm all but sure my issues stem from my brass. So now my next question, is getting used brass on gb a crap chute of good and bad brass? Where are you guys getting your brass?

The glock has a pivoting extractor so I don't think that's the issue. I could see that in a 1911 style gun though.

the other reason

the reason im interested in loading 147's just a little excited ti-rant 9 and stainless sparrow

One thing I did do is look at every primer upside down in a tray. Wanted to count them anyway. I wish I knew what part I'm leaving out. My can came in today and I know I'll be shooting tomorrow. If, aghh, when it happens I'll post some pictures. I have lee die kit already (not used, was using dillon dies) does it come with a u die or do I need to get one? I'll be very critical of any jamming round with a set of dial calipers. One thing I may have left out is my loaded round seems to have a small waist in the case. I tried to back off on the crimp but it seemed that the flare lips would come back. Is this norrmal.

The brass was all mixed stuff I bought off of GB I spot check the oal every tenth round or so. And was loading well under max oal (close to what factory is) I must have been putting too much pressure on the forward stroke of priming. When one would come out I would go find it to check and verify it was indeed 9mm brass. Is it possible I deformed the rim of these problem rounds enough to matter but not enough for them to pop out? Has anyone ever had a gun lock up like this before. Want to figgire this out before I start cranking out the ammo. If I don't find any answers I may just try a fresh batch of old brass.

Well the oal was fine unless they seated deeper upon "jamming.". These things were in a bind and I feel like if it were a simple case of too long oal I would be able to eject them with ease. To get these rounds out I had to put the front of the g17 on a saw horse and lean into the grip withall my weight. Bullets crooked hmm maybe. After thinking about it I was having trouble getting the feel of the forward priming of the 650. More than four times a piece of brass would come flying out of the press bc the rim sheared while I was priming it. Is it possible that I damaged the rim during priming but it didn't come flying out ?

no case gauge did the barrel check though.

just got my dillon 650 running. When I was testing my rounds I was having some trouble. FWIW berry's 147gr over 4 gr wsf now the problem, about one out of every ten rounds would "lock up" on feeding in the glock 17 and 1 in 6 out of the EMP. both guns would almost go in to battery and would lock up so bad I had serious trouble getting them out. no more than a 1/16th from being closed. I kept these rounds separate and checked the dimensions and they seemed to be "ok" anybody ever had any problems like this. also this is some of the worst looking brass I've ever run in to. is it possible its the brass?.

One of the regulars on the Browning subforum of Rimfire Central did a variety of triggers for the Buckmark. Probably 4-6 months ago if you want to search it out I think he has sold a few to forum members. Love the rimfire !!! Addict The guy on rimfirecentral goes by the user name rusty22 and I bought one of his triggers and I'm very happy with it. He makes several different profiles and they come with a trigger stop set screw. I highly recommend them. how much was that trigger? thinking of tracking him down a getting one. Any pics? how long ago was that?

I'm seeing a trend of "there's ______ with his black pistol"

I was just kidding. It's so hard to convey sarcastic sexism trough the typed word.

One time my gssf calendar year was almost up and I could get a g17 gen 4 for low $400's. I wanted one bad (biggest mistake of this year) I started metioning how much I thought shed enjoy it... She said "I'd better not get a gun for x-mas." so I got a Glock for thanksgiving.

How else is she gonna learn?

Not interested in your package huh? Jk

Well I have plenty of guns that get shot plenty. I would feel bad that this man never shot this gun for 60 years then I go a defile this piece of history. This may be a case of counting chickens before they've hatched.

If i did end up with it I wouldn't ever shoot it. just admire it.

Sounds like an ideal neighbor! hes a great guy, his family kinda sucks but i don't mind helping him out if i can. I know my day will come soon enough.

ahh the curse of the "theres no way i'll get this gun for this price" attitude. not much of a deal when you have to pony up 1200 bucks for three pistols.

I was reading this going this guy is insane.

I had three 9 mm pistols that i picked up from the ffl once, that I accidentally won on gun broker, in my truck. Sold one to a brother and one to his friend but the one I ended up with was a SW99 police trade in $280 to my safe. A similar story ensued when she saw the blue plastic box that none of her peers could identify as a gun box.

I might ask him what he was planning on doing with it next time I run into him. I'm over there weekly helping out and he has one alcoholic daughter that comes over every once in a while. (she's always doing the casual touch that creeps me out )

Double tap.
