How accurate do they shoot???

I use RCBS dies for 9 MM in my 550 and have not had any problems with chambering. I did add the Lee taper crimp die with the sizing ring in it because I do see a bulge on some of the loaded rounds.

I've loaded thousands of rounds with Fed. primers without problems, bought 3000 Win LPs, now major problems to get them flush. My solution will be NO MORE WIN PRIMERS. I'll use only Fed. Life is too short for this crap.

Been shooting a 625JM since about 2009. The 625 has tighter chambers than the 1911 guns I have. I have a gauge so I gauged them, the ones that fail I shot in my semis, the others for the revolver. The problem is the bulge at the base of the bullet. This makes a big difference. Last year I bought the Lee die that taper crimps and resizes the bulge. The Lee die seems to work altho some still won't pass the gauge they still seem to work in the revolver. I shoot lead, .452 to .453 diameter. If I use Remington brass I have no problems, It must be thinner than the others, Fed. seems to be the thickest, my Rem and Fed brass is old stuff, new stuff may be different.

It is the bullet bulge that causes the problem in my 625 JM. The S&W evidently has tighter chambers than any of my 1911 guns. If they drop in my guage they'll drop in the revolver. I bought one of the Lee dies that sizes as it crimps and it seems to work. I know it sizes the bullet too but for IDPA and plinking I can't tell any difference. Still load bullseye on a single stage press and some segregated GI brass that all guages good. Remington brass also all guages good, must be a hair thinner. It is bullet diameter, seating depth and variations in brass.

You guys would rather shoot a Ruger than a S&W? Really? I know they are cheaper but Really?

I prefer the GI safety to all others. It's easy to use and isn't in the way, doesn't hurt my thumb. Check it out.

I replaced one of the large ambis with a standard GI style safety. The paddle on the right side almost prevented disengaging the safety. HATED IT.

I'm pretty sure Bill can sell ou something to shoot that's legal. He sells 4" guns. Too bad we can't use the Lightweight Commander.

Wilsons just eliminated J frames from BUG and dis allowed Commanders from the carry gun div. I wonder why?

Wish I could give you those off my Colt.

In recent years I've had to file the front sights on 3 pistols and replace the rear sight on 1, they shot low. I don't know what the problem is but some times adjustable sights really pay off. If you consistently shoot low and get decent groups then the gun shoots low and the sights need correcting.

It's not gonna be right when you buy it and it probably won't be right when you get it back from warranty repair. I'm 3 for 3 on latest 3 revolvers. Buy an older gun if available in what you want. their new ones suck.

Dillon taper crimp die works fine as will any other taper crimp die.

Glocks bite my finger, solution is don't shoot Glocks. There are plenty other guns that don't bite.
