  1. In in Carry NC for a few months, any man laces I can scratch a USPSA itch around here?
  2. Using magnum primers is totally safe, my spreads were much better with non magnum. also RC is more sensitive to AOL variation than n320, so it's something to keep an eye on
  3. 4.7 made 171 pf for me... i use magnum primers, but standard primers seem to shoot hotter, and more consistent. This powder is a bit sensitive to OAL so make sure your dies are tight. my oal is 1.175 to 1.18
  4. For you guys shooting RSC regularly... Are you noticing any velocity drops on hot days?
  5. Ok had a better second day of chrono.. The major changes were new battery on the chrono, cloudy day... And the chrono and ammo were not as hot from being under direct Texas sun light... 4.7 seems to be it for me...

  6. Thanks man, I'm hoping it's the magnum primers messing stuff up...
  7. I've loaded 4.0 to 4.7 just to get a better idea of the pressure curve...If it all goes well I will try 4.8 and 4.9... I'm also going to do some 4.6 and 4.7 with small primers...
  8. Yeah I think this batch is way hotter than I anticipated... Tomorrow I'm running 4.0 to 4.7 just to try and get a better idea of what the pressure curve is doing...
  9. Not possible... They were put in baggies and labeled as they came of the press...I think I have a bad lot, or the magnum primers are running a mock
  10. Yeah for sure Uspsa...I was told 4.6/4.7 would be the number... I hesitate to think it's the magnum primers as I've been using them for years and they usually only add like 50fps... I do have some small pistol primers so i might roll a small batch at 4.6 and 4.7 to see where it's at... It's just really odd that my velocity actually went down the more powder I put in it...
  11. I was really excited to try this powder... I know 3 people using it with excellent results. Unfortunately I'm not one of them I have 20lbs of this stuff not sure what to do with it... Ideally I like to get it to work, at least for practice... Being that I'm loosing velocity when pushing passed 4.4 I'm wondering if maybe i need to drop the charge instead of increasing it? Maybe I'm at some strange place in the pressure curve? I didn't see any signs of over pressure on the cases it...

  12. Why not upload it to google drive?Then you can post a link
  13. I like the mount. It's what I'm running now
  14. I find it gets sticky when mixed with sun block cream...I chose not to wear sun block because of this BD
  15. yup me too... never had the powder cause malfunctions...
  16. Sorry being that it's in the 10mm/40 section i assumed it would be obvious... It's been updated
  17. I recently got some of this powder and wanted to share my findings. I think it's comparable to n320 maybe even a little better metering.

  18. Yeah I recently switched to using a Dillon (45/40) box I ripped the lead of off. Works great
  19. I'm not sure what part that is... Whats The fail safe rod? i was talking about this part, circled in red. Not sure if it was just the camera angle or what, but it looked like it was loose in one of the scenes. Thanks!!!I just checked it and yes it is loose. Good catch, that was not in purpose
  20. I'm not sure what part that is... Whats The fail safe rod?
  21. Must of the time, yes but I also like to watch the first station to make sure brass is properly fed
  22. First I would say, if you never lubed your pistol brass try it... Your press will glide!!! Once you try it you never go back So my reason for setting the brass upside down comes from an expirince I had when I first states loading. I used Dillon case lube and many times was ending up with lube inside the case which was affecting ignition allot. once I figured that problem out I started lubing my brass mouth down to make sure no lube gets inside the case. Just kept with that ever sence even dough I now use one shot which is much better The second reason I do the box thing is because it makes it easy to count brass (200 pieces in every box), and it eliminates the chances of 10mm or 357 sig accidently making it into the collator...
  23. Made a small video of me walking through my usual reloading session... Check it out, hopefully you guys will enjoy it
