Kurt, I have a Benelli M1 Practical listed for sale on Glock Talk.

5 inch SV Limited Gun with AET barrel Winchester Brass Federal Small Pistol Primer Montana Gold 180g. JHP 4.7 g. N310 1.200" OAL 168 PF I shot two major maches with this load this summer and both chrono'd the same. My results look very similar to Scout454, he loads slightly shorter and I use 1/10 more powder. It's my understanding that AET barrels produce slightly slower results than barrels with traditional rifling, everything else being equal.

Yeah, even after it wears holes in the lining of your suit coats and you have to patch them all up with evidence tape.

Dillon says it's the new brass and it's part of the impact extrusion (?) process that cuases the inside of the case to be rough. This causes the case mouth expander to stick inside the case mouth. Solution: 1) tumble brass 2) wipe expander with steel wool and/or Scotch Bright

So obvious, yet so brilliant!

Well, if I don't do something to fix the problem, the brass will never become once fired. It's causing powder to fly everywhere, and making it nearly impossible to load.

Interesting I guess I'll try dumping the brass in the tumbler too and see if that helps. BTW it's R-P .38 super +P Nickel

If I were you and had $3,000 burning a hole in my pocket, I would go to SV and have them build a gun for me using the gunbuilder online. I just did this for a limited gun and I could not be happier. http://www.sviguns.com/ The process took about 90 days. The gun is built like a Swiss watch.

Yeah, I wasn't having problems until I started using new brass and it keeps getting worse and worse. Maybe I'll buff the belling unit and see if that helps too.

I have the same set-up on all of my Glocks for competition and carry. Dawson fiber optic front and Heine plain, black, fixed serrated rear. Custom Glock Racing sells them together as a set. Custom Glock Racing They also have the Sevignys and Matt is a good guy to deal with. Fast service. Also check with Lone Wolf Distributors

Hey guys, I'm reloading .38 supers and I have question maybe you can help with. I switched from reloaded brass to new brass and immediately starting having this problem. My press is a Dillon 650. I complete the down stroke no problem. When I start the up stroke something is sticking, I think either the brass in the re-sizing die or the seater die or perhaps the one the bells the case mouth. As I start the upstroke there is some resistance then a "snap" of whatever was stuck getting un-stuck. Of course this sends powder flying everywhere. Any ideas which die it may be and or what's causing it?

Thanks for all of the replies!

So back in the early days of .40 S&W it was recommend to load .40 out to 1.200" in order to reduce pressure with fast burning powder, such as N310, N320, Titegroup when making the 165 PF, but now we realize that it isn't necessary? I this a fair statement? What about function/feeding issues associated with loading 1.125" vs 1.200" or somewhere in between? What are your experiences?

Has anyone tried them yet?

The clubs I shoot at don't calibrate the pepper poppers for club matches. I'm guaranteed to have problems unless I turn up the heat.
