  1. Agreed. Checking cases is a waste of time.
  2. Just had this conversation with a buddy the other night. Chasing pistol accuracy past a point (except in a few rare instances) is one of extreme diminishing returns. Pistol are inherently inaccurate platforms. Never say never but you will hardly ever find the best accuracy at min power factor. As a rule of thumb, best accuracy will be towards the upper end of the power factor scale. There are no solutions. Only compromises. Upside is accuracy. Downside is recoil. For minor loads, I personally find a good accuracy and recoil compromise to be in the 130-135 range.
  3. Gen 3 G34 3.6grs is a laser Tried several loads and powders before finding this. Most loads I tried sprayed bullets everywhere. 95gr MG JHP COAL 0.996” Open COAL 1.020” G34 Bullseye G34 (Test) (3.4-4.0 grs 867-1023 FPS Lyman) 2.8 grs NO 3.0 grs NO 3.2 grs NO 3.4 grs (Min) 3.5 grs 1089 FPS 13.3 SD / 31 3.6 grs 1115 FPS 7.6 SD / 18 3.7 grs 1134 FPS 8.8 SD / 23 Agency 3.6 grs 1083 FPS 17.1 SD / 49 ES (11lb Wolff)* 3.8 grs 1117 FPS 12.7 SD / 48 ES (12 lb Wolff)
  4. I had this happen on a seater die of theirs. Same stem design. Sent it back it back to them. Told me it was “walking out”. They either fixed it or sent me a new one. It didn’t do it when I got it back.
  5. Load data and chrono results below. 6.1grs Silhouette and 124gr JHP is my current carry load with new prepped brass. I like RMR JHP's both 115 and 124 Other load is 147 JHP with 124gr Nosler JHP 1.090” COAL Power Pistol P80 (1111 FPS Nosler) 6.1 grs 1130 FPS 6.1 SD / 15 ES Power Pistol G19X (1111 FPS Nosler) 6.1 grs 1129 FPS 7 SD / 19 ES Power Pistol Shield (1111 FPS Nosler) 6.1 grs 1090 FPS 8.4 SD / 24 ES Silhouette G5G17 (6.0 grs 1159 FPS Western)(1150 FPS Sierra) 6.1 grs 1232 FPS 12.8 SD / 32ES * (Crazy accurate) Silhouette P80 (6.0 grs 1159 FPS Western)(1150 FPS Sierra) 6.1 grs 1195 FPS 6.8 SD / 17 ES * Silhouette G19X 6.1 grs 1212 FPS 6.3 SD / 14 ES * (Very good accuracy / AA / Glock) Silhouette M18 6.1 grs 1225 FPS 5.5 SD / 14ES * (Excellent accuracy) Silhouette Shield 6.1 grs 1148 FPS 35.6 SD / 76 ES * AA No 7 P80 (7.9 grs 1140 FPS Nosler)(8.3 grs 1150 FPS Sierra)(7.9 1153 grs FPS Western) 8.3 grs 1263 FPS 17.4 SD / 45 ES AA No 7 G19X 8.3 grs 1296 FPS 17.1 SD / 39 ES AA No 7 Shield 8.3 grs 1212 FPS 15.1 SD / 35 ES Unique Shield (1147 FPS) 5.6 grs 1125 FPS Unique P80 5.6 grs 1132 FPS 21.5 SD / 46 ES Titegroup Shield (1114 FPS) 4.4 grs 1108 FPS 124gr Hornady XTP COAL 1.090” Silhouette P80 (6.0 grs 1159 FPS Western)(1150 FPS Sierra) 6.1 grs 1235 FPS 12.5 SD / 37 ES * Silhouette G19X (6.0 grs 1159 FPS Western) 6.1 grs * Silhouette Shield (6.0 grs 1159 FPS Western) 6.1 grs 1187 FPS 9.7 SD / 36 ES * AA No 7 Shield (1150 FPS) 7.9 grs 1186 FPS Titegroup 4.4 gs 1124 FPS Unique Shield (5.0 grs 1100 FPS) 5.8 grs 1193 FPS Longshot Shield 6.0 grs 1116 FPS 9.1 SD / 22 ES 125gr Sierra JHP COAL 1.050” Silhouette G5G17 (6.1 grs 1150 FPS Sierra) 5.9 grs * 1231 FPS 6.4 SD / 15 ES (Crazy accuracy) Silhouette M18 (6.1 grs 1150 FPS Sierra) 5.9 grs * 1211 FPS 6.4 SD / 15 ES (Good accuracy) Silhouette P80 (6.1 grs 1150 FPS Sierra) 5.9 grs * Silhouette Shield (6.1 grs 1150 FPS Sierra) 5.9 grs * Longshot Shield 6.0 grs 1103 FPS 13.5 SD / 33 ES AA No 7 Shield (1150 FPS) 8.3 grs 1207 FPS Unique Shield (1150 FPS) 5.6 grs 1151 FPS 124gr Everglades JHP (SD practice rounds) COAL 1.100” HS-6 G17 6.2 grs 1190 FPS 14.2 SD / 43 ES 6.4 grs 1214 FPS 14.2 SD / 41 ES (15lb Wolff)* HS-6 G19X 6.2 grs 1130 FPS 15.8 SD / 40 ES 6.4 grs 1157 FPS 18.8 SD / 60 ES* HS-6 P80 6.2 grs 1130 FPS 10.7 SD / 41 ES 6.4 grs 1155 FPS 20.1 SD / 73 ES* HS-6 Shield 6.2 grs 1077 FPS 8.8 SD / 32 ES 6.4 grs 1096 FPS 14.3 ES / 50 ES * Power Pistol G34 Agency 6.1 grs 1227 FPS 15.1 SD / 51 ES * Power Pistol G17 6.1 grs 1252 FPS 10.4 SD / 36 ES* Power Pistol Sig M17 6.1 grs 1222 FPS 13.2 SD / 44 ES * (Crazy Accuracy 14lb AC RS) Power Pistol Sig M18 6.1 grs 1180 FPS (Very Good Accuracy) Power Pistol P80 6.1 grs 1167 FPS 13.8SD / 44 ES*
  6. Glad Sig is taking care of you. Best case scenario is the barrel is at fault and not your reloads. Unsupported barrels in polymer guns was an issues 20 years ago. Didn’t realize it was still an issue. Kinda thought that issue had been fixed. I have a brand new DH3. Runs like a top. I promise I’m not insulting you or poking the bear, but I stand by the statement that once a round is fired there is no way of proving or disproving the “quality” of the round. I could be a combination of things. It doesn’t even necessarily mean it had to be a double charge, could have been slightly overcharge. The nature of pistol powered causes small changes to make big differences. Could have been a combo of weakened case, poor barrel support, slightly overcharged case, or a million combinations of the above. May I ask what your reloads are? Powder, primer, case, machine made on? Have you been reloading long? Not that we don’t have our “crotchety” ones, but in general the people on this forum are the best resource on the web for all things reloading. Sometimes things written on the web get lost in translation, but the people here are generally here to help if you want it. When it’s resolved I’d be interested to hear your outcome. What sig found? What the did to fix it? Etc? I have many P320’s and have a personal vested interest. If you take the time to report back, you could help the next person who has the same issue when they are searching for the answer.
  7. It’s the ammo even if it’s not. Even if you checked all the other rounds you have no way to check the round that blew. We’ve all done it. We’ve made a bad round. It could have just been a bad case. In which case…still the ammo. And the ammo are reloads so I doubt sig will warranty it. But I guess you ask? Edit: Just looked at you pics again. Those cases look like there was a progression of increasing pressure at the base of the case. I guess you could have a bad barrel with out of spec support, but I’d probably have to still lean towards the ammo.How long have you been reloading?
  8. I tied Silhouette, HS6, AA7, and SWMP. Settled on SWMP. Liked it the best and at the time it was cheapest. Have several kegs. Not sure if that holds true any more? If you’re looking at aa7, I’d at least consider SWMP.
  9. You are correct. I guess when you figure what I paid for the brass LOK grips and frame it wasn’t that much less. But it was less and I got the exact combo I wanted FDE grip, magwell, and black LOK grips. AC frame, magwell, and LOK grips combined were still less. Not by much, but….
  10. $675. Sweet baby Jesus. I’ve had a M17 for several years that I’ve been messing around with, but lately started going down the 320 rabbit hole. One of my builds is on an Armory Craft Full Size AXG frame. That was a little over $300 and I thought that was excessive.
  11. I do have a couple after market slides that came with shortened screws for the right side, but other than that I’ve had to shave down dozen of other screws. I have too many pistols.
  12. Slides are expensive. Screws are cheap, actually free. Well, nothing is free. But all the same.
  13. This is common with Glocks milled for direct mount as well. You simply have to file the right side screw down a little. I have a X5 DH3 and that I also bought a Spectre Comp slide for. I’ll be putting a 507 Comp on both those here shortly. I’ll let you know, but I’m guessing I’ll have to file the right screw slightly.
  14. It’s a useful function for measuring with things such as the Hornady bullet comparator or cartridge base to orive gauge. It allows you to set the zero based on the zero with the those devices attached to the jaws of the caliper.
  15. You can use the discount code each time you order. It’s not a one time thing.
