Looks like a copy of taccoms older loaders
-
Having bad luck with my first batch of military WCC, lots of ringers, which caused two detonations. I know what to feel for now. I can catch it in the swageing station. I'm getting 1-2 per 100. My guess is that my brass got wet before I got it.

Just got a 1050 about 2 months ago, loaded my first 3000 rounds with relatively no issues, maybe 5 missed primers in the first 3000. I started loading my second case of bullets and started getting more and more missed primers and then a press jam finding a mangled primer stuck going under the shell plate. I took the thing apart and polished the primer plate and changed the blue plastic primer end cap. (The one Dillon told me to change) I continue to have problems and I have changed the blue plastic 3 times over the last 2000 rounds. It's getting to point where I'm getting 3-5 destroyed primers out of 100. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as I'm getting frustrated. I am inserting a photo of what I generally see when I experience the stoppage and Pull the primer case guide plate.

Shotgun loading challenge, what's a better way to review the new Taccom MG quad loaders. Shotgun loading challenge from fellow three gunner known here as Tony the Tiger. Load 8 with a four second par time while moving, sounds easy right?. Now do it 15 times in a row. Which means if you yard sale on your 14th load you MUST start from 0 again. I was able to complete this challenge this evening using the New Taccom MG quad loaders (It took me a hour and a half, but never mind that) Now on to the review of the new loaders. I will start this off by saying that Tim is a great supporter of the sport, and is always willing to talk to customers at matches. That being said, I'm not sponsored by any means by Taccom, I.e I paid for all my loaders. Intial impressions: As usual the loaders are made to a very high standard. The magnets and rubber pieces are very secure and don't look like they will fall out any time soon. Pros: 1) Shells are very secure, however they grab extremely smooth! Like Butta 2) Very tough psychical construction on par with the rest of Taccoms gear. 3) fast shipping! Cons: 1) The above is very possible, but the adjustment needs to be made for the specific type of shells your using. Based on the depth of crimp. I.e Fed Top gun has a very shallow crimp, while Herters have a deep crimp. The loaders may need adjustment between shells. Not a big deal, as Fed top guns are a good price and easy to find. 2) Will not work with Brass rimmed SG shells. I.e winchesters AA Some herters shells are brass coated, but still have a steal rim, those will work fine. ------- It took some time to adjust the loaders just right, but I believe these are going to work well for me.

Bayou gump, Are you using the XP extractor spring? I made a bunch of dummy rounds at 1.10. They seem to chamber slowly, and with one round in the mag it fails to chamber fully. Looks like it gets hung up getting behind the extractor. I have not shot the gun yet, taking it with me tomorrow to give a go. I'm using a 10 lb recoil spring.

Anyone have any experience with bayou or similar 147 FN bullets and Tanfoglio s3? Particularly COL as it affects accuracy? Thanks

Any of you guys have any experience with LRA? I placed an somewhat large order with them nearly three weeks ago. A couple of the small items where listed as backorderable, no big deal for me, I can wait a bit. I just want to have some sort of approximation. Really the only problem for me is that I have made three attempts to contact them. Multiple phone calls in which I left one phone message, and a couple of emails. I just want some sort of assurance that the items that I ordered and payed for are coming. Anybody have some positive experience regarding LRA. I want to order more things from them, and am very happy to support A Veteran owned and operated company, but I'm a little leery at the moment.

Load data for Tanfoglio Stock II Xtreme 9mm
Colinp replied to HeavyD7042's topic in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
I'm also using bayou with TG.... 150 grain SWC with 3.0 grains of TG at 1.10 gives me 128 out of my FNS9-L I am a little unsure that they will work well in my S3. Anyone have any experience with SWC and tangfolios -
-
Thanks for the info

Got the tangfo today, Very nice feels great in my hand. One conundrum, EAA website lists the gun at 2.1lbs, approx 33 ounces. I put the thing on a scale with mag, it's measures 45.6 ounces ! Either my scale is way off, or EAA has got it all wrong, anybody care to enlighten me to the discrepancy Thanks

No, I am buying it to see what all the hoopla is about, I am committed to my FNS 9-l and its 6 lb trigger. At least for 2015
