poopshooter

the die holds 8 mg 124 jhp, i pull 5 thru as one complete cycle, leave the cam up and drop 5 more in the die and repeat. ill get the tube soon but this seems smoother than dropping them in the die 1 by 1. and a world better that placing them in the case.

i shoot the sp01 shadow in both games, if i could start over i would get the short frame shadow so that i wasnt VERY limited in grip selection and magazines. The way i see it now the nonsp01 shadow is still a heavy beast of a gun by any standard, and that with the low bore axis keeps it shooting flat. The knob of steel on the end of the sp01 certainly improves it as a melee weapon tho

Excellent! I think an SA trigger is maybe making it on to my CZ! but then of course a differant rule would put you out of production class

hey guys, lately i have been dryfiring small mock up stages in my garage. I have been double action pulling all of my shots just like a revolver, because...well because i can i guess. Question is, do you think this will develop me wrong seeing as when i shoot the gun for real only the first shot is DA, and the rest is amazing SA. It is a custom shop gun, both pulls lightened and smoothed.

I think that's the stuff I was talking about, for use on stairs and such. I can definitely see having to smooth it out some! no way the sharper the better, i use that same home depot skid tape, its like crushed glass i love it. hoppes gumms it up fast so you have to clean more carefully.

i went with Dillon Dies

I'm ordering new dies tonight, hoping differant tolerances will solve the issue. With no retaining spring or die in the station and i run it up it does apear to be off center by just bit. just that station. Dave you ready for this weekend? My shoulders are killin from digging post holes for walls, we got real walls im even gonna paint them -craig

I messed with it some more tonight, shell plate tightness is def. not the issue, i tripple checked it. its so strange because all the other stations line up nicely. i know someone with those New Dimention dies, i'll have to screw one in and see what it looks like.

right now with the Lee dies (same set i used to use on a turret press) im noticing how sloppy the bullet seating is. I'm tring to get 1.095 oal with a 124mg jhp (has to be that short for the CZ chamber) and it has been swiging over .01 variation. 1.102 thru 1.088. the plug at the top of the seater actully wiggles, its only got a rubber o-ring to help with the huge sloppy threads, and soft aluminum to boot.

I was just poking around Midway and saw that Redding makes a set that is mentioned as having a generous chamfer and designed for progressives. Expensive but kinda sounds like what im looking for.

will that decap?

thanks guys, I will get the recomended die and make sure the plate stays tight. There are times that i know its tight but it still happens, I almost feel like the clearance it too great. If the die doesnt fix the issue I will borrow someones 9mm shell plate and see if it fits up the same.

Hey guys, any idea what could be causing my cases to be coming up crooked enough to get caught on the mouth of the Size/decap die? I have checked and it is not an indexing issue, and also the bench/press is level. About every other case bites in and needs to be tilted (towards the center of the shell plate) before I can run it up in. Its super annoying, I want to reserve sending the press in as a last option. The have sent me new bushing receivers in case that was holding my die crooked but no luck. I am willing to by some upgraded dies to replace the Lee’s but I’m not sure that will help as tighter tolerances could cause more bite. Should the case be able to wiggle a decent bit when it’s loaded into the plate with the spring retaining? Hope someone else has seen this before.

do you know what the smaller safeties saved you? im tring to make weight just about the same way but fear I may have a heavy frame
