man i just don't know what's going on with my zev lower. tried the timney trigger now (after trying an apex) with a few different connectors. takeup sucks a little less but still sucks. i was trying to sight it in the other day with a red dot, using a rest, and by the time i got the trigger all the way back i was all over the place. similar components in my 80% lower and WAY better trigger pull. ditto for my canik and even gen 4 glocks.
just bought this morning 2k 115g fmj from precision delta. yesterday i bought case of 2900 hornady 124fmj from bluecollarreloading. both showing in stock, not pre-orders.
i did it a few months ago and to be honest, not really sure what i did... it wasn't super intuitive, at least to me and i fumbled around but finally got it working.
try to find the 'reloading' section. then there's a page where you select the 'in-stock notifications' you want to receive (such as 'powder' 'projectiles' and various primer options).
you'll get a popup on your computer when someone posts what you're looking for (eg powder) is in stock and just click on the link to go to the company's website.
make sure you're logged in on the various company websites and have accounts set up with shipping address, credit card, etc.
you guys need to get on 'discord.' i've seen plenty of vv powder and have bought 3n38 and n320 multiple times this year. it will send notices to your phone and/or pc when folks post it in stock.
just keep on the lookout for 3n38, seen it drop "numerous" times over last couple months. i've bought it from powder valley in jan and natchez in feb and stopped looking after that but have seen it.
so if you have brand new brass (eg, starline, 38 super in this case), do you still run it thru your sizing die, or just skip that step? i did put some in my chamber checker and actual chamber and it fit fine. not sure it matters, but i'm using a dillon 750. thanks!
if you haven't bought anything yet, they have more EPC components on their website now. they've sold out several times so keep checking back. but if you're not comfortable with assembly, you can get their "complete" upper (that's what they call it, but it is their upper, a barrel and a handguard) and a complete lower including a brace. then you'll need their bolt and charging handle.
4# in my gen 3 zev oz9 lower and aftermarket upper. Very little take up. So a ways from their advertised 3#. Dot connector. Suggestions appreciated on lightening!
know the thread is on april 1 but i don't like the dillon dies. that u-pin allows for a little play and at least the seating die is harder to get right vs all the other brands where the stem screws in to set the seating depth.
most of my competition glocks have the warren/sevigny competition sights - rear wide notch, front fiber optic.
when i got my 43x (for aiwb carry) i ordered it with nite sights and i really like them and put them on a sd/hd g31

yeah i wouldn't be happy with that brass if it was advertised as sized etc.
from what i've read, h335 is the best powder for 223 blaster loads (55g etc).
i've loaded .223 in a single stage (turret) press (2 dies - deprime/size, and bullet seater) and now have the caliber conversion kit and quick change kits to do this on my dillon 750.

their two sight models that have a recessed FO rod (manny & micro) both say .04 diameter.
edit, now that i see your pic, you don't have the recessed, so per emily latella, never mind...
atlanta arms makes regular length .40 180gammo that is 1.125 and they make long that is 1.175. precision delta long ammo is 1.180. [per both their websites]
i've been using the atlanta regular in my brazos hp sti edge and it's run 100%. but for some reason i have them building me their semi-custom and they said to load to 1.200.
i (pretty new to reloading) did some pcc test loads yesterday with titegroup and e3 and decided to go with e3, just a hair more accurate. i'm not good enough to compare recoil impulse etc.
