Ride that safety!

I've used both CCI small pistol and small rifle and never had a hint of pressure signs.

Bullet = .588 COAL = 1.158

Yup, 5" barrel.

It was comparable to AutoComp for me.

7.2gr + 124 = 162pf in my Glock. It took 7.7gr to make 166pf. 8.2gr was 179pf with no pressure signs.

620 repeatedly failed on me. 272 has held strong.

SJC!

Are 10 wide open targets shot from a 4x4 box legal because I can take a step left or right and shoot a couple from a different postion? If position changes with one step then this is a legal stage? Because I'm not required to remain motionless while shooting all the targets?

A heavier bullet will create more pressure with the same/ similar powder charge. 1.160 is about max in a Glock magazine.

It's been working for me from the day after the upgrade. Firefox/XP.

272

I've had brass get behind my glasses twice... now I never shoot without a hat.

FANTASTIC!!

All six of mine wouldn't seat, had to switch to Dawson pads.

The 121 IFP is a 115gr JHP with the cavity filled with lead.

Sorry... I should have mentioned that I am loading MG 121 IFPs to 1.160.

With a kkm barrel unless you work on the chamber 1.140-1.145 is about as long as you can go. besides any thing above 1.140 starts to get into a issue with feeding well in a 9mm mag. I load 1.158 -1. 160 in my kkm. Works fine in my barrel and my mags. wow anything above 1.145 or so i run into ftf issue. your barrel may be reamed for a longer round. I don't know why my barrel would have been reamed... I'm pretty sure others here load out to 1.160.

The heavy bullets will hit the target higher than light bullets.

The Xs are inside the shooting area.

No way I'd ditch the chain for a spring! With the spring - the arm can get stuck and you can continue cycling the press... With the chain - it's either going to pull the arm back down or break if something gets stuck. The mech is pretty much squibproof with the chain. With the spring... not so much. If you're worried about the chain slipping through the hole, put a small "binder clip" on the arm and chain where it passes through. I think you have an understanding of how the spring works incorrect. If you see how it's setup (pretty tough to understand from google images) there's no possible way for it to bind up and the user to continue working the press. If it did bind up then the case would not be able to move up during the downstroke causing the press to lockup. At this point something would break if forced, which like I said, when you get an understanding of how it's actually setup (much different than the chain) this would not be possible to occur. I thought it was just a return spring. If not then I apologize. The chain has never broken and has worked great for me for over a decade. I scoped it out a bit more and it's just a return spring, so it's obvious that you misunderstood what I was saying. I stand by my first post. No powder measure sticking possible with the chain. Sorry for the drift.
