  1. Precision Delta has a Cyber Monday special... You won't want to miss it. It'll go live shortly. If you aren't subscribed, go to the PD site, and sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of the page.
  2. I order Win SPPs by the million. Very, very rarely have a primer issue. Stop inspecting so much, and go out and shoot. They will probably all fire just fine.
  3. Waaaayyyy to much thought into it. A stirrup cut, ball cut, etc.. Isn't going to have ANY meaningful effect on the way the gun shoots. Pick a look you like, that makes weight, and go shoot it.
  4. Don't over think it There is no way to easily figure charge weight based on varying seating depths. I'd suggest investing in a chronograph. A PD 115JHP loaded to 1.100" is a good generic length. It will work well in almost every pistol. 3.9 - 4.0gr of TG is a good starting point. Again, this is only a suggestion, and not to be taken as published loading data.
  5. PD's factory load with those bullets is 1.100". 4gr of TG is a good starting point. (This is only a suggestion and not meant to be taken as published data)
  6. Correct. Pretty much all jacketed bullet manufacturers tumble bullets before packaging. However, when done correctly, it should be pretty rare to find it in the finished product
  7. Everyone has their own opinions on triggers. A 3lb 2011 trigger, IF IT HAS ZERO CREEP AND A NICE POSITIVE RESET, doesn't bother me at all. I see no improvement in any aspect of my shooting by taking it down to the 1-1.5 lb range.
  8. Dranoel is correct. Holding the trigger back while letting the slide forward accomplishes nothing. It is an old Gunsmith tale. The sear will be in the same position whether the trigger is held back or not. You cannot affect the position of the sear until the slide is back in battery (obviously due to the disco). The only thing it COULD do, is prevent trigger bounce (and subsequently prevent the half hooks from hitting the sear) like Chalee said. However, if you are getting trigger bounce when you drop a slide, your fire control parts are bad, and/or your trigger job is bad. Empty chamber VS stripping round is all but irrelevant in reference to the hammer falling to the sear. The slide only "over cocks" the hammer by a very small amount. When the slide moves forward, and the hammer follows, the hammer only moves a very, very short distance before the hooks contact the (disconnected) sear. Again, if the VERY tiny difference in hammer velocity affects your sear, your parts are bad, or your gunsmith is bad. All this being said, I wouldn't advocate going around and dropping empty slides.
  9. Could be. Very easy to do a .356 124gr JHP. There’s Just very little demand for it.
  10. PD does a 124gr .356” FMJ. It’s just a “true” 38 Super bullet.
  11. Hey! I’ve tried to steer it back on track twice! But I like where your heads at
  12. Well, I sure do appreciate that! I’m just a shooter that enjoys the sport and shooting with folks, I just happen to manage a bullet company. When I can be of help, I try my best. As as long as I have anything to do with it, PDs customer service will be second to none. Anywho.. I feel like the tread needs to move back to the OPs topic ?
  13. Not months. 124s are ready to go. Just finishing up things on the 115s before we list them.
  14. Currently two. The standard 124 JHP, and the new "ESP". The ESP is strictly a sporting bullet, designed with USPSA shooters in mind. No expansion grooves, larger/smoother radius around the nose to promote feeding, and a slight change to the HP profile. Oh, and slightly more attractive pricing The ESP's will be available soon. (there are already quite a few out in the wild)
  15. This has been covered a few times on the forum already. Before April, 2017, walls height was "as constructed" unless otherwise stated in the WSB. Ie, you could shoot over them if you could see over them. However, USPSA published a "ruling" last year (this is different than an interpretation). Said ruling is available on the USPSA site under "rulings". Ruling:2.2.3.3 is amended to read: Unless otherwise specified in the written stage briefing, all such barriers, walls, vision barriers, snow fence barriers and other constructs will be considered to go from the ground to infinity, provided said barrier is at least 6 feet, (allowable variation = -3 inches) in height. Any barrier less than 6 feet tall (-3 inch variation) specified as extending to infinity must be clearly identified in the WSB and marked accordingly, otherwise, all barriers less than 6 feet tall are considered to be \"height as built\" and may be used accordingly by competitors.
  16. Hate to hear you had an issue. I feel like I've already done enough to derail the thread, ha. Shoot me a PM. I would be interested in more detail on the "split jackets". That would be an extremely rare thing to have happen.
