I'm another proponent of the Hornady One Shot! And I actually put 200-300 cases in a large "tupperware" container, spray and shake; then I shake the container to allow a good number of cases to stand upright. I then lightly spray again allowing the HOS to get inside cases. NEVER had an issue with any of my loads using VV N320 or N330!

Have two of the Savior Equipment pistol cases, and have to say they are excellent quality and construction! Highly recommended!

When the @RangerTraceoffers advice, LISTEN CAREFULLY!

Me and the @RangerTracelike sharing the fruits of our labor!

I found out real quick that MPA uses a healthy dose of Loctite on grip screws.......guess it should be SOP........... Hope your "loose screws" didn't forfeit a match!

This is the current load specs I'm using in my MPA LOC for Limited Optics: Powder: VV N330 Bullets: Precision Delta 124g JHP Primers: Federal Match Cases: Winchester fully processed Once you narrow down the specific bullet weight and power factor you wish to start with, then others can chime in with recommended components that works for them! Lot of good data here on their various powders and load data: https://www.vihtavuori.com/reloading-data/handgun-reloading/ A recent bench rest test............

Thanks @scooterj

While I hope @scooterjwill come through with the info on his Atlas triggers having any "logo" on the trigger bow, I thought I would share some info regarding the new trigger offering I received from Glenn at Lone Star Industries. It is similar to an Atlas/Geppert in that the shoe threads onto a post attached to the bow. This feature also allows some "fine tuning" of adding/removing some OAL by the end user for personal needs. It utilizes a #4-40 threaded post and uses a .050 Allen wrench for setting overtravel screw length. I have not fitted this shoe to anything yet, but comparing to an MPA SS grip it would probably need ~.005" to .006" overall removed from the top and bottom of the shoe. Width is fine; and the trigger bow fits the grip perfectly! HTHs

I always recommend checking the Max OAL for your barrel as the CZs most often will require a shorter OAL! With my S2 Orange, the Zero 147s were fine at 1.125"; however when switching to Zero 125s I had to reduce the OAL to 1.080". Several 124/125g bullets performed just fine at that OAL! Good details on checking for your barrel(s): https://czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=103620.0

Definitely an excellent upgrade kit! Also had a great experience with Bob. His products are always recommended.........

Perfectly alright!

In my limited experiences with Will/FW Arms, their products and Customer Support are EXCELLENT! Lots of satisfied users in personal and commercial loading situations.

After an excellent conversation with Bob Londrigan, and at the recommendation of @zzt, I decided to try one of Brazos' Performance Tuned Trigger Kits. Also decided to order his Brazos Pro Disconnector: https://www.1911store.com/Tuned-Trigger-Group-BCG-Brazos-Pro.aspx Even though I had tried/used several of the EGW and EE kits in the past, this was my first go round with the Brazos kit. After a careful inspection of contact surfaces of the FCG parts, I immediately noticed the nicely polished/stoned primary & secondary sear angles along with the finely prepped hammer face and hooks! After removing the mag release tool hook from the left tine of the sear spring, I did some minor polishing of the front contact edges of the left and middle tines. Also did a bit of extra polishing on the disconnector paddle and disconnector sear spring contact bevel. BTW, the disconnector looked excellent and measured within specs! Dykemed the sear tip and proceeded to drop this kit into and existing 2011 with the grip safety left out. Initial operation and function checks were perfect. Decided to do a quick trigger pull test sitting on the display stand, and was surprised at the off-the-shelf results! 10 pull average: IMO, if your looking for a traditional "glass rod break" trigger using primary and secondary angles of the sear in a "drop in" system, I feel confident this will satisfy your needs.........given you have a quality frame that has good pin hole specs! HTHs!

I've got about 90% of the information I need so far; should have the final piece of the puzzle by weeks end....... @scooterjThanks for your feedback!

thanks again for your help/feedback!

Do the newer triggers still have the Geppert logo imprinted on the right bow? Again, THANKS for your detailed info!

@scooterj Wondering if Atlas' current X-line triggers are the same as the original Gepperts they originally sold? I have a NIB original Geppert/Atlas X-Line Vario Triggers – Medium Flat identical to this one. Purchased it about 4 years ago from Atlas..... https://www.speedshooter.com/product/atlas-x-line-vario-triggers-medium-flat/ Atlas current "X-Line" trigger system appears to have the same features; just not sure if they are still the Geppert version or an OEM Atlas offering: https://atlasgunworks.com/product-details?id=1928697 Thanks for your insight.........

Has anyone purchased an MPA stainless or aluminum grip and added it to their existing DS/2011 pistol? Are there aftermarket triggers and/or grip safeties that will work with minimal fitting? https://masterpiecearms.com/cat/ds9-accessories/ds-grips/ No replies from MPA ....... Thanks!

As mentioned, I would highly recommend setting up the RL1100 to perfection running it MANUALLY, then add the autodrive! Also, do your research: https://www.dillonprecision.com/rl1100-product-videos.html https://www.youtube.com/@Mark7Reloading https://www.facebook.com/groups/Mark7Reloaders Good luck!

Always had a lot of admiration for those that have mastered the Powers Custom fixture! My limited training has been with the True Radius Pro jig......and I am a proponent of that tool as it allows a roll trigger or two angle trigger for the user that understands it's operation; and is using quality sears that have enough length to take advantage of the desired results. One thing I don't see mentioned very often is checking the "residual" weight, as I call it, of the hammer/sear without the sear spring installed. I was trained to always figure/add this weight, which is usually 6-12oz, in with my final desired trigger pull weight. It was also recommended to put at least 16oz on the center leaf to prevent trigger bounce........ With this pistol, I'm going to try the Brazos kit and go from there. Thanks for your feedback!

@zzt Sent you a PM. Thanks,

@zzt Thanks for your feedback! I'm seriously wanting to drop in another kit with a traditional primary and secondary cut on the sear. Was seriously considering the Brazos kit. Also considering pulling out the TR Pro, and doing an EGW or EE sear and hammer. My biggest challenge with be retaining the current ambi shielded TS that I definitely want to keep intact if possible. Of course, I could buy another identical one and fit it if necessary........ Thanks again!

As a LONG TERM Dillon user that replaced the RL1100 with an Apex10, I can totally confirm that the 10 stations on the Apex 10 is a GAME CHANGER! And the Mark 7 machines are precison, CNC manufactured! And with the ability to update to a DIGITAL automation system that integrates some excellent sensors, I think you would be 110% satisfied with the Apex 10 along with Mark 7's EXCELLENT Customer Service!

Verified it's 3 coils short...........no reason offered........ Thanks!

@shred: Thanks for your feedback! Any reason you can think of to justify cutting 3 coils off the mainspring? It's testing to 9# at 1.312"...........but with the reduced length, not sure if the standard compressed length is applicable....
