Got my SPP I ordered a week ago last night. LPP primers I ordered on Wednesday will be here on Wednesday. I used the link in the thread both times. If you search the site they have not been listed either time so use the link and follow up with a call....At least that is what I did for the 30k I have gotten in the last month from them. Now I just need to find more bullets. Although my order from two months ago from Montana Gold got delivered this week. Good Luck to all.

thanks for the heads up

you are right no reason for 140mm. you should send them to me to dispose of.

Do you mean one of these? Make me an offer I can't refuse.

Got confirmation that my order shipped today. Fingers crossed. Called them after placing order to follow up. My original confirmation order said backorder and when I called the nice lady on the phone amended the order. And they are on there way. I assume it is a complete order although she did suggest it may come in multiple deliveries but only have to pay shipping and HAZ fee once.

Just ordered 10k. Called to confirm they were in stock and they said yes. THANKS

Just wanted to say thanks for the great service. I have ordered over a dozen times from Shooters Connection and every time I am amazed at the quick response. You call with a question and a human answers the phone and answers all your questions. You order and it is in the mail usually within minutes. The experience is so good I find myself looking for things to buy when I dont need anything. Top Notch

Dont worry about mags. I just bought a .40 and panicked about mags but after a few days I found them online and ordered from Brazo. I also spoke to the fine gentleman at Shootersconnection about an STI Edge and they had Mags if you buy the gun from them. You will find mags dont let that sway your decision.

I use the amazon knock offs as well. no issues at all. Was not sure I would like angled sights so figured I would try knock offs and if I liked them buy the real ones. After using them I dont see a need to change them out. they work great. BUT like others have said at 1x my Vortex scope is just as fast.

I use it on all my guns...most are 1911. I even use it on my ARs. Great stuff. IMO

I just ordered it from Amazon in 45. I will have it Friday.

any .223 or 5.56 brass with crimped primer will need to be swaged. You can usually tell by a small ring around the primer or a couple dents around it. Lots of pics if you google crimped primers. If you are using range brass there will most certainly be some in there as lots of bulk federal stuff has crimped primers. I just run all my stuff through the dillon super swag. Not all of it needs it but it is quicker to run it all than try and sort. good luck. you will also need to trim the brass before reloading. Have a look at the little crow case trimmer. just started using it and works great.

That my friends is why my open gun is in the classifieds. I am so frustrated I may sell everything and start knitting. Unless they classify the needle as an AW. Following all this crazyness in NY has made my blood pressure go up and my head spin.

I too had great experience. I exchanged emails with him on my holster and he was very helpful and responsive. Even mailed me addition replacement part as NC. Definitely A+

Do a search on youtube. I am sure there is a video on there.

Damn a.roberts beat me to it. Although my wife wouldn't approve.

I have a Matt Cheely and it is awesome. Runs flawless. Got it last year and love it. He is VERY responsive to communication and always there to assist and answer questions. Not much use to me any more though since the communist state of NY banned all mags over 7 rounds and what is the point of a 7 round open gun. Sorry I got off topic I am a little bitter. Good luck in your search but I would def check out a Cheely gun.

Sorry about that. Had to put my buddy down the day after 4th july last year. It SUCKED. Was looking at pics of him as puppy last night with the wife.

First sorry to hear. I know it is a a$$hole thing to say but reloading is not for everyone. If you want to continue on the journey of reloading I would suggest a self indexing 650 with powder check or lockout dies as others have suggested. Best advise is take your time. I know if I dont have time to run a primer tube (100 rounds) without interruption I leave reloading for another day. Good luck and be safe.

Yes. you can use the 550 case feeder on the 650. You just need to move the switch. I did it with mine. Or you can sell it here to someone looking for one.

Good Choice. I have a 550B and a 650 both with all the trimmings. The 650 will take longer to perfect but once you do you will be glad you chose it. There are plenty of good videos on Youtube that will walk you through the process. While you wait on shipping watch them all. Good luck

I cant speak for others but I have ordered about 6-8 times now from Shooters connection (in the last 6 months) and the service and email response has been second to none. So good in fact that I check what they have before ordering anywhere else. Keep up the great work.

I added pics to the original post. Is this normal flattening of primer or to much?

Thanks Hi-Power I will take a pic of the brass tonight and post a pic. As far as measuring powder I did not average samples. I just measure a charge (on beam and digital scale) adjust drop 3-4 charges then measure the 5th again. I will try and average a few samples this evening as well.
