  1. I'm having a similar problem with a couple sti mags. I installed a thinned and stippled grip and now it flexes a bit, I have 5 mags for the gun and the 2 I bought most recent are the problem ones. I measured them all a the problem one are a few hundredths of an inch thicker front to back. I know this doesn't help you but I didn't want to start a similar topic.

  2. Is any Winchester powder even making it to the reloading market? I haven't seen any at all in 15 months. I am not shooting much at all right now, I've not seen pistol powder at any local shops in 6 months. My job gets in the way of finding any online, I do check gunbot a couple times a day.

  3. if i were you, i would adjust the seating die to the desired OAL for each bullet, not use one die setting for different bullets.

    Understood. If I decide to run both the PDs and the BBIs at 1.18 though, would I have to adjust powder charge to compensate for lesser case volume? Or is the difference not enough to be concerned with since both are 180gr bullets?

    Start with a well below max powder charge, the one with less case volume will have higher pressure. A chronograph is very useful in this situation, you could find that both bullets yield a similar fps.

  4. .

    By comparison, making major out of 40 requires working with unpublished, over max loads. And there is a very narrow group of powders that do this somewhat well. Just ask me why I would gladly trade my first born for a 4 lb jug of N320 right now. If you are newer to reloading or maybe going to start reloading with this purchase then definitely stick with 45acp.

    None of this is true, there is plenty of data on .40 major. Plenty of shooters on this site use WST which to make major requires them to dabble in the "over max load" area when using heavier bullets but most are experienced reloaders that increase oal to allow for increases in pressure. I have a shelf full of powders that are used in .40 s&w including; Titegroup, Win231, Win WSF, Win WST, Longshot, Clays and others.
