Why plated when you can get jacketed for less? Well if you buy at least 2k from PD they'd be cheaper.

Ultimo, what was your HS6 load for that same bullet? Thanks for the info.

For plinking and target shooting pistol rounds I'd recommend looking into the coated bullets like Bayou,BBI, SNS, Blue, etc.

You haven't been paying attention. No need to undergo any operations, just say you self-identify as a female and run against the women. I doubt we'll have this issue in the shooting sports, at least in my area.

As stated above - thin high-capacity followers will lock the slide with a round (sometimes 2) in the magazine and aggressive reloads with an open slide can damage the ejector.

I had the same outcome trying bayou, sns, black bullet and blue bullets in a 9mm open gun. A single double tap with a far enough transition wasn't bad, but the cmore would get pretty cloudy by the end of a 32 round stage (gun has 3 barrel holes). Only using PD & MG JHPs now in the open gun. Coated bullets in anything without a comp & optic - would probably be fine in a prod optics gun.

Nothing. The problem is with the people that use the term "BS" to describe legal ammo.

I see the problem now.

I'm just wondering if you can even get enough AC in a 9mm case to make major with those holes? If so, I want some bigger barrel holes.

Looks like Kincaid switched over from 38 super though. He was posting his DVC was in 9 major. Not sure if you saw the video of the case head separation Shannon had, it's pretty epic though. https://www.facebook.com/UniversalShootingAcademy/videos/822321477866165/ Looks like a .38 in that vid with those barrel holes.

Looks like you just need the case feeder kit & collator - about $30 total Two things to adjust the indexing - the flipper depth (I set mine for just a hair of shell plate wiggle when the ram is down) and the carrier body (loosen the screw at the bottom of the ram to rotate it so the flipper hits the indexing tabs & slide correctly on the frame). The beveled edge on the index rod goes a specific direction. It's a really super simple design and I'm sure you'll have no issues making run like a top - probably be posting some helpful hints before too long. loadmastervideos dot com has a ton of info. I do the sizing on 1 and have u-die half way threaded in 2 like some above and have very few priming issues. I run mixed brass no problem, I have the primer seating depth just a little over inserting for a super firm primer seating. The micro-charge bar is garbage IMO.

Unless you are shooting a game that requires it, you don't want the slide to lock back. Why? A couple I can think of are over insertion of the mag causing damage to the ejector and the thin high capacity followers tend to lock back the slide with a round still in the mag.

This. I'm not understanding the issue with the safety prime on the LCT? A few minutes to get it adjusted properly and it just works, a quick tap during the sizing/de-prime op and the primer is ready for insertion on the upstroke.

Great advice. That's the same powder check I use and I've never had a squib thus far.

I can get 30 in my MBX 170 by hand without much trouble. Saying it's 30 reloadable might be a stretch, but it seats no problem with just a bit of extra push. 30+1 starts have never been an issue with mine. I've done 30 round table starts with it, but no mid stage 30 round reloads - I can only remember one thing at a time.
