Any Mech Tech PCC users shot one i 40 S&W and was impressed

Used Acc, # 2 and #5 now using Green dot with Lee 158gr. RNFP (cast with Range Lead) O.L. 1.43 shooting in K frame S&W 4". Bullseye is great too if you can get it. Using recommended powder charges listed in manuals Boolits are Range lead sized .358.5 in Lyman 450 sizer. Lube White Label Lars 2500. Minimum leading which cleans up quickly with tight patch on jag with solvent and a brass brush if needed. afish4570

I have an 8# Keg of Green Dot . Not much reloading info out there for 45 acp in semi auto. I will be using 225 gr. cast bullets for IDPA and USPSA. IS GREEN DOT A CANADATE FOR SOFT FEELING LOADS?? Anyone using Green Dot. afish4570

I have an 8 # Green Dot to use for 135 gr cast for 9mm IDPA loads and 163 gr cast RNFP for 38 spec. IDPA. Not much info on competition for loads with this powder.

I called Dillon and was told the model FL- 20000 case cleaner with blue lid and blue bowl has a lifetime guarantee. the motor needs alittle help with a heavy load (reaching under unit and spinning the weighted motor shaft), Will send motor in and they will rebuild....probably replace bear and brushes). afish4570 Don't know how to post a picture so I called Dillon. Thanks. afish4570

Is there a cheaper after market motor for my case cleaner? The original motor made by Fasco in Cassville, Mo. #7121-6775 type U218 1/20 hp amp 1.6 at 3000 rpm LR36496 is listed on there website as unavailable. Are there any cross references for electric motors... not too sharp looking this stuff up.afish4570

Can I shoot lead bullets in my 4" barreled 45 XDor will I need an after market barrel,,,,afish4570

To clean lube off loaded ammo I take about 50 rds.and dump them in an old white cotton sock that had the last 2 inches soaked in paint thinner. I squeeze rds. and move them around in the sock for less than a minute. I turn sock inside out every 200 rds. to expose a nice clean surface. I wear my Harb. Fr.nitrile gloves. Thinner is used sparingly but enough to do the job. afish4570

Would like to use 150 or 158 gr. lead bullets in my 38 spec. loads with Nitro 100 powder. afish4570

Saw a good price on this Nitro 100 powder by Accurate.....anyone using it?? Want a clean powder to prevent cylinders fouling and slowing down reloading.afish4570

I have a mold and batch of rnfp 158 gr. will probably start with this bullet. afish4570

I have an old Smith Model 67 with a 4 " barrel that I thought I might try alittle more seriously in local IDPA matches. I have the Safari Comp 3 speed loaders and rest of gear. One of the revolver shooters recommended I change the old rubber grips for smooth Jerry Miculek grips. Is the gun manufactured with round butt and square butt or is the grip style what you would specify on the order for the grips???? I hear its offered two styles, one plain and i checkered. Which would be good for a revolver newby??afish4570

Friend seems bound and determined to get one.....16" barrel with muzzle break in 308 would seem to be real loud and rough on ears. Would these be competitive in any of the rifle sports?Afish4570

Now that I know a 6" revolver is legal in USPSA I might try my Model 14. Been shooting autos so i need to get some speed loaders other than the HKS's I presently have. Any guidance appreciated, direct me to the correct forum, need a kydex holster that I can use for the 6" Model 14 and my 4" Model 67 that I could use in IDPA. Model of speed loaders suggested too as well as qty. needed and brand.....Brands, models suggested etc.Also saw the Jerry Miculek smooth revolver grips and the newly announced checkered ones......Whats the pitch, for either afish4570

Here it is 8/10 and still listed as in stock. Anyone else have any experience with them. Probably use them im my 96Beretta and not my S&W revolveres due to the hard primer issue.Would prefer to use the usual big 3 brands but soon won't have any choices due to supply issues.afish4570 :closedeyes:

That is an IPSC match.....afish4570

After swaging with RCBS tool and hand reaming with my Lyman tool, the primer pockets were still too small. Way under spec on diameter. Almost like it was a special sized primer. Will be on lookout to see if this was a one time occurence . afish4570

Shot in a local ISPA match recently and picked up some Winchester headstamp brasss that looked like it was a crimped primer pocket. Ran it thru my RCBS Primer Pocket Swagger and still couldn't seat primer without a tremendous amount of effort. Onyl had about 24 pieces of brass so I scrapped them rather than have misfires due to damaged primers caused by the seating into too small a hole.....Anyone else run into this situation. afish4570

Saturday, Oct. 13 I shot in a local IDPA match. On my squad there were two shooters using the Win. 100 rd white bx. factory loads that had several misfires each. The cases had blown primers and bullets were still in the cases. One round had a primer that had the primer cup peeled back so you could see about 1/4 of the inside of the primer cup. When I examined the cases with the blown (missing) primers I observed there were no prime pocket holes to allow the primer to ignite the powder. Another shooter said he had the same problem a few weeks earlier and had the Winchester customer service contact in his ipod. One of the shooters said,"Oh no I have 600 rds. left." Disappointing,slowed down the relays and freaked the shooters out to say the least.afish4570

Been reloading for hunting and pistol Bullseye begining in 1968. In the 1990's began shooting defensive pistol and IDPA at club level. Shot a few IPSC matches since I retired several years ago. Shoot 1911 in .45, 9mm Glock or Berreta and 40 in a 96 Beretta.afish4570

Just wondering who has had any experience using the Russian sm. pistol primers
