I have recently run into the issue of the Winchester primers flipping or getting stuck in my RF100. I was getting at least 3 per hundred flipped and was going to just get rid of this thing. But after trying CCI and Federal they were all oriented 100% correct. I like not having to fill by hand so I'm just going to avoid buying Winchester going forward.

I have had this exact thing happen in mine. Changed the spring and right back in action.

If I was just starting out with open I would consider getting the 155s instead of 140s if they really do make the reload just as easy.
But since I already have 140s I don't really see myself buying the 155s to take their place.
-
Some clays would be awesome too...
If you're in dire need it looks like www.reloadingunlimited.com may have both. But the prices are a bit higher than I would want to pay.

All I've fed my 17 is coated (the blue bullets) for the past 2 years without a hitch.
Same for me in my Glock 34. Been using the 124 Grain Blue Bullets for a couple years now and have had no issues.
-
Have one Open gun from Matt already. My next Open or Limited gun will be from him too.

I had this same exact problem and would need to turn the dot back up during the stage. I contacted CMore and they advised I needed the switch tightened.
Got it back from them last Friday and ran it Saturday. No problems at all so far. The switch is noticeably tighter to operate though. Hopefully it stays tight like this through more use.

I have used Blue Bullets 180's and N320 at 4.8 grains at 1.17 OAL to get around a 172 - 174 PF out of mine. I'm sure I could drop a bit and still make major no problem, but usually try to come in around 172.
I also chrono'd this weekend with the same specs, only with WST being the powder. 4.8 grains still came in right at 172 PF.

Had my kid test out some of the Blue Bullets 115gr and 7.4 of AutoComp today in a match. Here is a link to a video of the classifier and you can see for yourself how it looks coming out of the comp.

I switched to coated bullets from the Blue Bullets a couple years ago and haven't looked back.
The new groove-less 180s with either N320 or WST is my main load for my 2011. Clean and accurate.

Looks like a camerons custom to me. Kind of an odd spot actually since it's right at the bottom of a decent sized radius. Good luck with a replacement.
I have those same exact cuts on mine. Definitely curious how this will turn out for you. I hope you get it replaced as well.

I have a 9mm Open gun built by Matt and it has been great. Definitely recommend his guns.
I also have a buddy that got a CK 9mm Open gun a few months back and it has run perfectly.
I've never shot the DVC so can't speak to that, but if I bought another Open or Limited gun it will likely be from CK or Cheely directly.
-
This is good to hear. I have used Blue Bullets in everything but Open so far and have been pleased with the result.
I ordered some of the 115s today to a trial in 9mm major.
I run the 125 gr blue bullets in my 38 super and 9 major with no problems too.

I've seen Nils shooting Production with a Glock at the last few weekend matches at Rio so I think we will find out
Now if Nils showed up with a Glock...

I got mine directly from Rick. Dude is awesome. I had some issues with bullets flipping and contacted him. He offered some advice over the phone and through email, and since I am local even offered to come to the house and set it up. I was amazed.
I ended up sending him a video of what was going on and he diagnosed it immediately. (Turned out to be the usual culprit - user error)

I just got my set late last week. I really like the clarity of the lenses and the light weight frame. It's an awesome set but i think I'm gonna sell the set and go for the radar lock.
I got mine last week as well and sent them back. Cool idea, but they were just a little too flimsy for me. Sticking with my Radars as well.
-
They are for sale now on OakleySI
Thanks for the heads up. Got mine ordered.
-
I've had the same thing. Ammoland, FM, and IMT brass have that "step" in the case that is prone to split at that point when loading major. Annoying because it creates another check in the process before loading.
-
I had the same problem when I used Tula primers. I put a Dawson extended firing pin in and haven't had an issue again in over 2,000 rounds since
-
I have no experience with Akai so can't speak to that.
But I did get a 9mm Open gun from Cheely a couple months ago and so far it's been 100%. Took a risk and had my kid run the gun the week I got it at Area 2 and not one issue.
Matt was super responsive throughout the process and delivered right near the quoted time.

If any of you have Verizon you can grab a pair of Radars right now from their rewards program for a whopping $30. They are polished black frames w photocromatic path profile lenses
Thanks for the tip. I went in and ordered just now. Went back to get a second pair for the kid and they are now sold out.
-
I agree with this too.

Sorry about the above post, checked Rio Salado web site match is indeed full... Looks like a lot of local folks got aced out. What does everybody think about setting up registration so that Area 2 shooters get first shot (no pun intended).
Give Area 2 shooters say 24 or 48 hours to sign up before any non-sponsored shooters outside Area 2 are allowed to register.
Just a thought, wonder what other folks think about the idea. I think Area 1 does it that way.
Best powder for 9mm blowback carbine
in Pistol Caliber Carbine

I used AutoComp initially and like others I found I was getting too much unburnt powder I had to clean after shooting. Switching to Titegroup has resolved that for me.
