Dont use the S&W "Custom" shop.

Way too much lube. You need lots of friction to keep the case glued in while the blade chops off the top of the case. I use a really light misting of Hornady One Shot.

I tried some Bullseye in my 300 under 215 Bergers. Plenty quiet. I got to velocity and then I played with seating depth to tune accuracy. End result was so-so at best. I have gone back to Vhit N-110. Only a touch louder and much more accurate.

I didnt like gold beads. They blended in to target brown to my crazy eyeballs. Basic black or maybe red fiber.

I have had good luck with H4895 in my 6 Grendel/6AR which is basically the same thing.

I have a few Dillons on the bench. 550s and 1100s. My 550 does 45 AutoRim and my 1100 loads all my 38 Special and 357. After switching to a 929, the 38 Special toolhead for my 1050/1100 is lonely.

Thermobollocks didnt mention it, but he won He-Man. Congrats dude.

We had a good turnout. Lots of happy people even before handing out a bunch of certs for free Thunderbeast suppressors. As of now we will do it again next year on the fourth weekend in June. https://practiscore.com/results/new/29c4257a-124e-4c04-8000-e585df6d4569

The centerfire world is just starting to realize that tuners are a thing. Browning tried with the BOSS many years ago, but it was aimed at hunters and not competitive shooters.

You go girl!

Be sure the notches on the shell plate where the rim goes are clean. Sometimes gunk can build up in there. This will cause the case to be off center as it goes around.

Allowing or recognizing?

.035 moon clips and WCC/Win brass is just fine for me.

Go stir the pot elsewhere. Life is too short to be a jackass to a fellow shooter.

As long as I am not fighting forest fires, I will be there.

Dont forget to run them through a FL resize die. That will fix any cases that didnt get 100% done in the forming die. My process is tumble clean, run through rollsizer, run through 1050 to deprime/swage/trim to 1.355 then load normally.

I have a couple CH4D trim dies. They work fine. I had bad luck with a Dillon carbide 223 trim die. Tried a second and it still didnt work. Went back to steel, but my Dillon carbide 300 and 308 trim dies are excellent.

The match is 100% full and there is a wait list going. If you sign up now you are on the wait list. If you dont get on the wait list, for sure you wont get in.

Thunderbeast has donated 5 free suppressor certificates to the prize table. If you dont shoot this match you have absolutely zero chance of winning one.

Leave it as 10mm.

More primer crimp swage will help along with making sure the case is properly positioned in the priming station.

Look inside that case and see if the priming compound is intact. On mine, it was not meaning it lit off at some point.
