    Swaging question

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    When i started reloading for my AR i picked up the Dillon Swager with my quick conversion kit. Good thing I did, i came across that issue, I was smashing and crushing primers , even non military. I just swage all my 223/5.56 to avoid the problem. What a PITA! :angry2: I purchased a few K's of compleated factory ammo and got my Dillon Dies set to or close to the C.O.L and crimp to where i dont have to do any trimming of my brass. A friend of mine has givin me a few hundred pices of brass im waiting to stock up on cause that im sure will and might need to be trimed since he shot it out of a different rifle and does not pass the "Go, No Go" test. Good luck.

    Finding the cat that droped a huge duce all over my work bench, who also urinated on my winter clothes, who knocked over a lb of powder and a few 1k's of primers. he ran into my garage "The Lab", in August and could not get em out. I left the door open still wouldnt leave. I tried leaving food out side and everytime I thought i gottin close to catching em he would run hide back inside The Lab. I havnt seen em for a hot min. and recently have been smelling somthing foul in The Lab. I looked all around looked high low. well we had gottin some snow out here in Gotham and pulled out the blower and couldnt get it to start, when i finally did .... well lets just say the cat gave his 9 lives to my blower! yuck! :sick:

    Dear Cancer :

    I was only 12 when you first entered my life,.. now 30 years later you come for another loved one,this time my wife, but the game has changed this time there are many,many more people,scientists,foundations and medical choices against you and you will be treated the same way as if you were a felon coming through my door uninvited in the dark of night... I know there are dark days ahead but with everything at our disposal you will leave my wife and me alone and we shall overcome this intrusion and join the ranks to help the next person you aim for until you cease to exist on this earth.

    Your Days Are Numbered,..we are coming for you with an unrelenting focus centered solely on your demise and our victory.

    John

    This is awsome! its like adding armor as my baby girl who is 9 that is fighting cancer. my heart and prayers to you and yours.....

    Another Drought?

    Ghost Rocket Trigger Break (Need Help)

    in General Gunsmithing

    Posted · Edited by MARKAVELI

    Hey Guys!

    Another question for all of you gun-savvy people out there. I'm a super new shooter and tried my first mod. I just installed the Ghost Rocket 3.5 connector. Took a bunch of times filing, testing, filing, testing to get the trigger to break. I finally got it to break consistently, but here's my concern and question:

    When the trigger breaks, it's WAY to the back of the trigger housing. Pre-travel of the trigger is super long. I'm pulling it all the way to the back, then it breaks. The reset is super short. (Like 1mm or 2mm) I love THAT part of it, but I feel like the trigger should break closer to the middle of the trigger housing. (Hope my poor terminology doesn't throw you off.)

    This short video shows how I want it to work...and this IS what it does, except it's all the way back toward the grip.

    Is it just a matter of filing more of the TCT off? If not, can I do anything to get the break to be in the center of the triger guard? Can a Ghost Rocket connector EVER function like the Glockworx Fulcrum in the video? Obviously, I was trying to save some money by just doing the connector... But I've heard a lot of good things about the Ghost Rocket connector.

    I'm ready to be LEARNED! Thanks in advance!

    the Fulcrum trigger kit comes with an allen wrench to adjust both the connector and trigger. my opinion the kit works better with the Ghost Rocket.

    What powder do you use for 45 Acp

    PowerPistol user here... I was able to find it in a large bulk on the net. i use it for 380,9mm,.40cal,38spl,357mag,44mag & 45ACP. its hard to go wrong with a 45ACP load, easy to get the velocity I want, meters well in my powder hopper, Burns clean enough. I run it through my Dillon RL550B more then enough press for me but for some reason I am not satisfied till I get a 650 & a 1050. dont forget to get a cronograph to measure your loads or you wil be testing and shooting your loads blind.. good luck and be safe. :cheers:
