Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. Don't waste time on those Tiny Flashhole 9mm Norma cases, I took pictures of the small flashhole cases and compared them with normal size flashhole mixed brass and sent them to Norma. Here's the response from customer service- "What are you talking about" it took them 3 weeks to move this complaint up the line to their tech advisor and get back to me. This is the tech dept response- " Those small flashhole brass cases are not meant to reload" We can give you a refund if you provide us with the original box with UPC code and lot# and original receipt from the store you purchased from. Much more trouble than it's worth, so now as I go thru range brass I'm on the lookout for any 9mm Norma cases with the tiny flashholes and either pitch them or use some for powder measurements. Norma has really dropped the ball on this issue, they just don't care. I
  2. NO, NO, NO......listen to noylj, you'll mess up the headspace.
  3. All good methods, I'll go with the Kroil, seems to be the easiest. Problem is the availability of Kroil. Only place near me is Bruno's Shooters Supply that shows any in stock.
  4. Hello All, Anyone have any recommendations for products I can use to clean the carbon out of my Compensator ports ? I usually dip a Q-Tip in CLR and wipe it in the ports between stages to lessen the buildup.
  5. Thanks all, I wasn't hitting it at the right times...
  6. I've been trying to find any 9mm on the website for months, morning, noon and night with no success, are they still in production ? it's now Sept 22nd 2021 and everything listed is out of stock-ALWAYS- Are they still in business ?
  7. Anyone have any experience with these 9mm new unprimed cases ? I know they're made in Connecticut by Truelove and McLean fabricators but haven't found any info on them anywhere.
  8. When I first started using LaPua Brass I did run them thru my neck sizer but it made no difference at all, just an unnecessary step. Of course if I see an out of round mouth I'll put it thru. Just remembering how spoiled I was loading 9mm on the Dillon SQD B, now on my single stage Forster it's back to basics.
  9. Yeah, I actually do load new LaPua 6mmBR brass right out of the box without sizing and new .308 LaPua brass also. I just make a dummy to measure loaded round neck dimension so I can use the proper neck bushings when re-sizing them.
  10. Now that sounds like a plan, I'll drop them in the case gauge and go from there. If they go in and come out easy I'll go to the expander die and pass on the the sizer, You're right about Truing the necks on Rifle cases, I'll run them thru a Neck Sizing die only if I find some that are dinged. I'll be loading these new 9 cases on the Forster Press, a little more effort but that's what I'm working with now. Back to the tried and true days of single stage Thanks
  11. Guy, I want to know if I have to size them first or not. And thanks for your help
  12. Just got some NEW Jagemann 9mm brass and want to know if anyone is doing anything special to load these. I haven't had to load any NEW Brass for years because I had plenty from my own chamber and I was loading on a Dillon progressive. I stopped shooting my Open Gun for a few years and went over to Precision Rifle so now I'm loading on a Single Stage Forster and just picked up a 3 die set RCBS Carbide 9mm. Do these NEW cases need to go thru the sizer? then the expander or just go right to the expander ? It was a simple process on the Dillon because everything was on the one toolhead and I never had new brass to put thru. Now, when Loading NEW Rifle Brass I just load em up right out of the box. Any help with my new system is greatly appreciated, Thanks
  13. Any one know how to decipher the Manufacturers pack date on the back of a recently bought jug of Norma 203B ? I've looked everywhere with no luck. Great powder, good performance, just curious when it was packed. Thanks...
  14. Hi, Getting some MG 121's and I'm looking for a recipe using both these powders. I've been loading 124gr MG JHP's over 7.5 grs of Auto Comp and 8.0-8.3grs of HS6 both seated at 1.160 out of my STI Tru-Bor with excellent results. Thanks in advance for the info I appreciate it.
  15. Hi All, Having a slight dilemma: I'm pretty sure about this rule # but I'd like to know if I'm in the area. After I (RO) scored a Target, it was immediately pasted by one of the squad members. The shooter want's to appeal the score. I... A. Call the Match Director for an arbitration appeal B. Call the Range Master for a Target Scoring appeal C. Deny the appeal D. Award a Reshoot due to premature pasting I would deny the appeal based on 9.1.3 which reads in part-If following the scoring of a target by any ASSIGNED RO, the target is patched or taped by anyone other than an RO, the score will stand as called and the competitor will not be permitted to appeal the score as called. Thanks, and Standing By....
