I have a 550 after upgrading from a Classic Turret. I kept using the Lee dies. They work and I have had no issues Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I have one and love it. Can finally use the irons if I choose as well as the dot. Here are some pictures. I have videos but too big to upload here. Here's a link: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2632740377000898&id=100007948838271 Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

.285 m&p is what I use Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Depends on your preference. I have the SFx and a RIA (in .45). Both are great and fun to shoot. Do you prefer striker or hammer? All metal or a polymer lower? Lighter or heavier? Mounting an optic? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

You can remove the wheels.. it has a flat option Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Anyone consider using something like the bench below? Didn't know if it was something sturdy enough for the press. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-52-in-Adjustable-Height-Workbench-Table-with-2-Drawers-in-White-HOLT5202BJ1/307723266 Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I was loading 147gr PC Bullets to 1.08. No feeding issues in my Canik or my Ruger PCC.

That's why i like to wet tumble. The brass-plated steel cases come out a different color. Easy to identify. Plus the magnet method...

I have been all over the map with the coated bullets. I've used Bayou, BBI, PC Bullets, Gallant, Precision and Brazos. Other than the coating and/or colors I have not found one better than the other in terms of accuracy, smoke or function. It's really just a matter of shoot what you like and go with it. My problem is that I keep waffling back and forth with profiles and weights. I just loaded up a bunch of 135s from Brazos and before that it was 147 FPs from PC Bullets. Next up is 125s from Precision... All this jumping around really is a waste of time with having to work up charges and then chrono. Not that the chrono is a big deal since I shoot Steel Challenge. But I like knowing where I stand. I really should take my own advice and just pick something and stick with it...

I've run numerous loads through my PCC: PC Bullets, Gallant, Brazos and just ordered a bunch of Precision Bullets. Yes, the coated can lead up the comp. But I see the comp as an easily replaceable part. If you want to clean them you can, just be careful...

So some time ago i was able to load up some rounds and send them over my ProChrono... I thought I posted the results and just now seeing that I never actually posted them... so here's my results: Date: 1/11/2020 Temp: 60, cloudy Bullet Mfg: Brazo's Weight: 135 Profile: RN Coating: Hi-Tek Powder: Sport Pistol Charge: 3.4 Primer: Federal OAL: 1.12 40 Round test through Canik TP9SFx Velocity High: 990 Velocity Low: 956 Velocity Average: 972 Spread: 34 Standard Deviation: 8 Average PF: 131.2

Not sure how that fares legally with Steel Challenge either Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Which is good since I only shoot Steel Challenge Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

At a local shop came across a used 986 9mm for $699... I don't know if it's the pro or PC version, but if not, is that price a good one? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I'm all for the expansion of the sport. Would love to see more clubs out there. Good luck. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
