Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I know I'm bumping an old threat but Bill Springfield our of Colorado Springs is advertising a M&P 22 pistol trigger job for $59.00 (return shipping included). Have not tried him yet but just might have to. Here is the link. http://www.triggerwork.net/SWMP.html
  2. (Erased post ... gets off the platform and goes back to my box).
  3. As a father who has a teen age daughter shooting IDPA I think it would do our sport to have a young minor class for say 7-12 year olds and allow them to participate with a 22. We want more younger shooters but the tell them to go away till they can handle a "big people" gun.
  4. I thought about squib loads but the rounds before struck so that was unlikely. Just picked up a pound of a bulkier powder and well start over again. Thanks again y'all.
  5. Thanks again for all the info. I am very aware of my limitations and also am one trained to find out why something happened instead of just jumping to conclusions. One of the things I did was intentionally double charge a case and yes there is a difference. I have decided to switch from TG to another more bulkier brand. Additionally I chambered a number of the rounds and measured the OAL and did notice a slight difference. Thus I am working on the crimping and insuring that a bullet being pushed down will not cause more issues as i've experienced. Thank again for all of your suggestions and time to answer.
  6. Thanks for the replies. I was very cautious this last time after my daughters oops and installed a LED light right over the powder stage but then again, with 3.1 gr I might not be able to tell if it double fed. At least thought I was cautious. I am likely to switch to a bulkier powder and will defiantly check the OAL after seating chambering it. The first time I can understand a double powder as my daughter was distracted, but my OCD was in overdrive when reloading this time and heck I even measured the powder every 10th round just to make sure. Brass was virgin pre-primed so I'm doubting it was a brass issue. I really do appreciate the comments.
  7. Well about a year ago a local competitive shooter with a ton of years reloading experience helped me set up a Dillon 550B for reloading 9mm ammo for my daughter and I to use at matches. Well for the first 10 months things went smooth. The load he suggested that I use was 3.1 gr of Titegroup pushing a 147 gr Berry's bullet. Six weeks ago, my daughter got distracted while reloading and double charged a round and it cost me a customized Browning HP. Last night I loaded 100 rounds, with plenty of powder weight checks, and I know I was watching each round as I loaded it yet today one of those reloads blew up a Gen 1 Glock 19 that I've had and fired prob about 200,000 rounds through. Well now I dont have a clue what is going wrong. Any suggestions? I'm considering changing from Titegroup but right now really am confused and nervous about putting anything I've made into any of my guns till I get this figured out. So I come here and instead of just reading am making my first post and its one asking for your opinions and thoughts. Till then, Stephen
