Just ordered the RCI (x rail guys) with the +2 extension. Yours looks great Pat.
Rugged part. You'll love it.
What's better/different about the Nordic?

I bought a Vinci last last night at a charity auction and will be looking for upgraded parts. I love my M2 and have been intrigued by the engineering design behind the Vinci.
Welcome to the club - you'll love it. Mine just finished up its first brutal waterfowl season, and the switch back to competition mode was as simple as cranking the RCI tube back in (I actually did that in time for Arkansas Snow conservation season). I feel pretty unnatural holding anything else after hunting/shooting pretty much nothing but an 870 my entire life.
-
I'm interested. What are you planning for the bolt release?
-
I bought my Vinci for the intended purpose of dual use. I can change from the OEM two-shell tube to the RCI 10-shell tube in about 30 seconds. No plugs to worry about. I just finished opening week of duck season in south Louisiana as a very satisfied customer, and I have a multigun tonight.

Thread drift, anybody?
How does the little trick part work? What part of the stroke is the pocket actually swaged?

"Always learn to load on a single stage before you go to progressive."
Yeah, right.
-
I really need to buy a chrono. I only had one load with me and the guy I was with just had enough to test what he was doing. I have some easy access H335. When I have time (ha ha, duck season starts Saturday) I'll make some of those and a few 27.5gr CFE rounds to try. Who knows, I may finally spring for a $115 chrony.
-
Not a big difference, but it's an 18".
-
Still haven't bought a chronograph, but a friendly range member let me shoot over his today. I'm at 27.0gr and shot 2860fps, SD 24fps in 5 shots. WAAAAAYYYYY slow, right? Hodgdon website show starting loads around 25-26gr for 55gr running 3100fps.
Anyone got some chrono data with CFE?
-
It could be my imagination, but letting cases go to .750-55 improved accuracy over .730ish. I was after the same thing - more loads per trim. What I found to be better than that was reducing FL sizing as much as MY chamber would allow to reduce growth after each load cycle. I can't even measure the difference between length in some cases after they've been shot and sized multiple times. Also extends the life if brass by preventing work hardening.

I shoot XDm over Glock because it fits my hand better. I love it and have never had a problem, but the aftermarket leaves some to be desired vs the Austrian.
-
For me, range brass grows 0.003-.005" in a FL sizer. I trim everything back to 1.750" max and load away.

27.0gr CFE223
55gr v-max 2.255"

Mine drops small primers all over the place. Most of the time they were hitting to top of the basket in the back and bouncing off onto the bench. Here was my solution. It went from about 20% to 1-2 every 1k or so.
Almost exactly what I did. 'Cept I used what I had laying around - empty primer box and scotch tape for labeling ammo boxes.
-
Can't imagine any one would give you a problem. My WC trim fits over it fine.
-
try different springs
I would, but I haven't gotten around to trying, and no one has really reported that it fixed the problem.
-
i never posted an update, mostly because it didn't work. i had already checked gas port alignment before to no avail. The thing for me is that the gun cycles perfectly, just won't lock back unless i'm shooting commercial ammo. it doesn't work with CFE223 loads of any bullet weight or charge.

Tumble in corncob for hours. Then separate and spray with DCL. They only get scratched on the neck, not the shoulder or anything else.

I'm sure it's something I'm doing, but I've ruined two sets of dies recently showing up in scratched case necks. The first die started doing it after about the 5000th round, and the second one after 200 rounds. Dillon replaced the first one with the second, but I hate to change out another if I'm going to keep messing them up. I'm thinking about buying a carbide die to see if it will stop scratching necks so bad.
-
I love them. I'm running 18" with rifle gas in .223 and have an issue with the bolt locking back. I'm half attributing this to the fact that I need a slightly lighter spring in the SCS, but who knows. It makes a gun feel and shoot so smoothly. I'll never install anything else.
-
Didn't like the MOE. Check weld was too narrow for me. That said, I switched to the MAGS EFX. Over those options.
-
Thanks.
I didn't want to cut it all out unless I wound up needing to go to a 'professional'. Because of that, I still have to poke my thumb in some the get the shell catch. Now that I'm confident in cutting this thing, I'll almost surely go back and cut so I can just slip my hand over it.

Thanks.
