16 round mag with long czc base and czc follower 23 rounds in mag 18 round mag with mecgar +2 plastic base sanded down to fit guage, czc follower 23 rounds in mag. No issues yet czc follower seem to be grams with the 10 coIL springs.

Any success using rifle length buffer tube, spring, buffer weight ect in 9mm ar instead of a carbine length tube. Have a rifle length I would like to use if possible.

Has anyone successfully reamed there psa nitride coated barrel? Mine barrel loads bbi 125 to an oal 1.090 would like to go longer and different profile projectiles

Cz75 +10 springs from cz custom, I buy 10 at once for some savings. Production gun, factory follower and bases when I used the 18 rounders.

S&B is all I run in my ts40, 11lb recoil and 15lb trigger.

200gr bbi or acme, 1.155 oal RS competition 3.8g

200gr bbi and acme with 4-4.1gr wst 180gr acme 4.3-4.4gr wst 200gr bbi and acme with rs competition 3.8gr OAL 1.155 out of a ts

Loosen the holster screws, stick the gun in and take a heat gun to the holster. After cooling tighten to desired draw tension. Done this many times to custom fit.

Not matter what scale you buy, a set of powder check weights is a must for piece of mind imo

I use a can labeled one shot for my pistol brass, simple and not one problem. Shake, point and spray is my process.

The change I heard was due to the old mold being wore out . New mold new/different bullet profile

I take a little extra time reloading for bigger matches than local to ensure reliable ammo. If you insist on your current path I would move your sights to split the difference between the 2 types of ammo.

The most important thing for me is no exposed lead, then less smoke, less mess reloading and cleaner gun.

Great list and I would add a hammer strut for 10. Leave the factory hammer on the factory strut and put your new hammer on the new strut.

Sharpie the round , drop and spin to find out where the problem is. I have even taken a needle nose to twist the round in the chamber to see if the lands scape any coating or lead.

Cost is no comparison if buying by the case , coated all the way. Acme, bbi and blues are the ones I've used and very happy.

I have shot thousands of the 125 bbi at 1.110 in my czs. I drop test so I can drop and spin.

65k with OS not one problem, don't tell me this now.

Do the drop test to see the max oal for your barrel. Start loading test samples of 20 increasing oal by .005 or .010. until you reach your max oal minus .01 or .015. Sometimes a different bullet or profile likes a longer oal.

S&B run better than fed in my press and have shot many thousands with no problems . TS40 no extended firing pin with 15lb hammer spring, if I look at the primer it looks like lite strikes but goes bang every time. It is a seating issue as already stated , I flatten mine so please leave these primers to me and you can have the more expensive ones.

Polished all my double/single action czs with very good results. The biggest upgrade for my ts trigger was the hammer, never needed the sear done especially after thousands down the barrel

Thanks for the thread atlas and the both of you for those nice pics.

Have a TS40 and looking to lighten the slide. Tried looking through all the pics but they seemed to spread out. If you wouldn't mind posting some pics of your slide cuts or examples I would appreciate it and the smith would have something to go off. Thanks

I use the fcd in the bulge buster on my brass first, the brass is clean and shot with one shot. I use the u die in my first station. I just seat in the 4th station and taper crimp in the 5th. This what works for me using acme and bbi. Haven't used jacketed or plated in years. Love the coated

I love winchester also, I also love s&b worked perfectly for me and cheap. I am back purchasing win at 5k every time I step into my local target shop.
