Nicely said. Thanks for the perspective on this.

Not a contradiction at all. The second statement clarifies the parameters of the first, so we'll be clear what constitutes the "shooting area".

Just the spring, by itself, to see if it "sets" any further.

If you do, please measure them (overall length, no load) now and then again after they're been compressed another couple of days, and let us know what you get.

No

If it's 9 minor and you load it yourself, that's about $3 a month. Maybe some folks don't consider that too extravagant.

I also googled Mark 7 lawsuit (in various forms) and got ... nothing. Please provide URLs. Thanks.

Then of course the 20,000 rds might have had something to do with it ...

Well, once you have the shell plate full, you get a completed round every time you click it (advance it). 500 clicks, 500 pulls of the handle ... 500 rounds.

Thanks, zzt

And if you're using a PT Evo grip?

Yeah, pretty much. Kind of like, "Iiiiiiiiiffffff you are finished, unload and show clear"...

And "Range is clear" marks the end of the COF

What is it with "let's change Production"? One of the nice things about USPSA is that there are so many divisions to shoot in. If you don't like the one you're in, shoot in another. If you've worked your way to the top and made M or GM and now you need another challenge, work harder or change equipment and try a new division. Try optics; CO isn't that expensive, and you just might be able to use your current Prod gun, with an optic added.

Okay, we'll bite. Which gun builders? Okay, we're interested. Which gun builders?

I ditched the M7 powder measure and use my Dillon, with double springs and a Uniquetek micrometer. Very reliable, consistent charges. Had the same problem with the M7, plus wide variation in charge weights.

I had a Vibraprime, once upon a time, and I can't imagine doing the whole operation in 20 seconds, much less 10. Could you give us a video?

RF100. Put them in, let it run.

Wilson also suggested a #42 drill bit and drill press: just touch it to the safety to slightly enlarge the detent. You might also want to reshape either or both paddles so there's less material to push up against with the top of your first knuckle. Dremel works here, too. Make the paddle less wide (horizontally) and also less thick (vertically).

I'm having the same problem, even after polishing the die to within an inch of it's life. The dropper tube will still fail to drop every 10th bullet or so, and the bullets that do drop won't fall into the case mouth reliably. The funnel seems to be adjusted properly. It's getting pretty frustrating.

And what does that get you?

I had one with a bad MBF die (they had a bad run). It was machined badly on the inside and wouldn't allow bullets to drop down from the dropper assembly. Call DAA and ask them to replace it.

Are we talking IPSC or USPSA? For USPSA, see Gary's post above.
