It happened to me once! Sharp edge on ejector hits primer of cartridge.

According to my dial caliper the clips supplied are .025".

The conversion was done by TK, haven't measured the thickness of the clips yet, but I will.

Hi guys, I am new to revolver competition, I have a S & W M14 set up for moonclips and am wondering what you consider the best brass to use with them? I understand WW is a no no? Thanks in advance for your help.

The foxey females wouldn't have anything to do with his interest would it?

When I was in the thick of IPSC/Cowboy competition late '80s and early nineties I had seven Dillons, three 1050s, two 550bs and two square deals, all dedicated to a single caliber. My bench was twenty feet long, wish I had a picture. It was impressive. 1050.......38 super, .45 acp, .223 550b........44-40, .45-70 SD........9mm, .44 special Lyman All American turret......244 Rem, .308, 300 Win Lyman Comet and Spartan C presses....odd jobs Cheers

I just found an accurate load today for my 38 super; 143gr swc H & G #73 .357, 2.6gr Tightgroup, 2" at 50 yards. Very soft shooting, don't have a chronograph.

Two 550s

New barrel

Shooters using my 125gr swc .356 bullets in 9mm Glock and CZ pistols were having problems with bullets tumbling, I found that changing to Accurate 7 solved the problem. Very accurate and no tumbling. Should work for you.

I had a full tube of LP primers detonate in my 1050 in 1992 without eye protection, my face very close to the machine. I was VERY lucky to have only a slight nick to the corner of my right eye, I did, however, go into shock from the explosion and briefly lost consciousness. Lesson learned; always wear eye protection when reloading.

9mm Accurate 7, works well and I have lots .38 super Accurate 7, 130 to 158gr lead, very accurate and I have lots, testing 4756 now .45 Bullseye, 3.5 to 5.0 gr with H&G 68 200 swc, I have lots, very economical Unique, 7.2 gr with 230 rnl .44 Russian Bullseye .223 H4895 with 52/53 gr Sierra match load .244 Rem IMR 4064 .25-20 SR4759 with 86gr lead, very accurate .308 IMR 4350 with 168gr MK, very accurate long range .44-40 SR 4759 with 200gr lead, very accurate with Lyman 42798 .45-70 SR 4759 with 405gr lead target load " 330gr hp Gould expess for hunting IMR 4831, 55gr with 405gr lead magnum primer for hunting, leaves lots of unburned powder in bore but very accurate, compressed load Mostly 'old' powders I guess, from 50 years reloading experience

Thanks, guys, I appreciate the help.

Hi, can anyone help me with suggestions for your most accurate loads for .38 Super? Prefer cast or fmj, not plated, bullets. Major or minor, I want to shoot Bianchi Cup with iron sight gun with comp, so minor is O K. Can anyone help with their recipes?

My Dillon was under water for a week due to sump pump outlet blocked by ice, not covered by insurance, called Dillon to get a rreplacement motor, they said send it back they would replace it. Dillon!

Has anyone read this book? Any thoughts?

I began shooting at about 6 or 7 years with a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun (I am 64 now). I tried using the sights, such as they were, very crude, but couldn't hit anything with it and had no one to instruct me. I resorted to sighting along the left side of the barrel and watching the path of the bb rather than the sights. This predates Lucky McDaniel by many years. I became very proficient with this and could hit birds on the wing regularly with that old Daisy. Some twenty years later I found I could do the same thing with a '92 Winchester carbine in .44-40, I could briefly see the bullet against the sky in relation to my target, usually a crow, and did some amazing things with that old rifle in this manner. I also learned to use the sights, but when the action was very fast it was pure instinct shooting, and I was deadly. It is becoming 'one with the gun' impossible to teach, I have tried many times in my advanced shooting courses when I was in my prime but I would be surprised if anyone learned it that way. I belive it comes down to Zen, or being in the 'zone', which is an incredible experience in itself The closest explanation of my point or instinct shooting as I tried ti instruct it was to 'be' the bullet and to 'be the bullet' going from the barrel to the target. This was the end stage of the course, having started with shooting dots using the sights (from John Shaw) then a 'flash' sight picture when shooting close and fast, then 'point' or 'instinct' shooting. What modest success I achieved in IPSC was using this method. So it works for me. It may not work for you. But it might! Bryan

Learn to shoot! A good shooter can shoot anything well, from muzzleloaders to machineguns to mortars. Any difference in loads is largely created in your mind, heavily influenced by advertisements and claims by other shooters that their load/gun/attitude/training is the only way. Go for accuracy. The top shooters are VERY ACCURATE shooters. Learn to shoot. Bryan

When you go to the range, approach a competent shooter, ask him to shoot your gun and ammo and see how it will group. This takes your mistakes/lack of skill out of the picture. Shooters at my club would do just that if they had problems with a gun or load;' give it to Bryan to shoot.' I, in turn, would do the same and ask a better shooter to try my gun and load .Try this, it works. Bryan

Be careful with crushed/damaged primers and residue on the 1050 and always wear safety glasses while reloading! I had a primer tube explosion on my 1050 while loading .38 super. The primer bar would hang up occasionally, but seldom crush a primer. The primer bar hung up this once, I reached around to free it but as soon as I touched it the primer magazine exploded. VERY LOUD! A fragment of primer just missed my right eye. Static electricity? I don't know. Might have been friction. On disassembly I found primer compound all over the bottom of the shuttle bar and its track, it had been a while since cleaning, like since new, and I was heavily into competition prep and pressed for time. As I had air in my shop I hooked up a hose and blew any residue out after every session and no more problems. I still have the burst primer tube over my bench as a reminder to wear glasses. Anyone else have a similar problem? Bryan

Not in a match. The problem is you are shooting only once a week (maybe) and are expecting to improve. If you want to get better at anything, it requires damn hard consistent work. #1 is to start dry firing every day. Matches are not and never will be practice. Matches are where you find out what to practice next. Yes to that. be I can see (more clearly now) I that I'm going to need to make a real commitment to get better and that just shooting matches will only get me so far. After pondering the feedback I'm realizing that I need to focus on things the things that really matter. I've been able to apply that in business, relationships, etc. Now I need to apply it to my shooting. It's an interesting (and fun!) journey. This site is a wealth of experience and info. Thanks for all of replies. Mike The best shooters are invariably very accurate shooters. You must be accurate before you can be fast and competitive in matches. Dry firing is the cheapest practice at home, then practice accuracy at the range. I would dry fire 1/2 hour a day through the week, practice 300-400 rounds .45 on Saturday, then shoot a club match (IPSC) in the afternoon, then put that experience to the test in a league or Provincial (Ontario) match on Sunday. I had no bullseye experience or training prior to IPSC, but this regimen allowed me to become very proficient in a few months. So, learn to be accurate, then take a course from the best instructor you can and learn to shoot fast! Bryan
