Remember if your xdm is a 5.25 a dovetail mount won't work and you will need the springer mount. Good luck with the carry ops, i switched to it and within 2 matches switched back to limited, just not for me. Another guy i shoot with switched a little before i did and took to like wildfire and was one of the reasons i tried it, so you just don't know till you try it
Noted thanks, and I am in need of the Springer mount. I think I'll have fun with carry optics.

Thanks, I was looking to see if anyone made a rear sight plate, converting my limited xdm to carry optics.

I have resigned myself to using the hated Redding G-Rx setup for my competition rounds where I get 100% success. This thing absolutely KILLS my elbow however and takes forever!!! I just hate doing it.
Just have some kids, I have convinced my kids that brass processing is the fun part, they run the case pro for me easily.
Free labor is why I convinced myself to purchase a case pro. I was a Lee bulge buster user before, but now all brass is sorted and rolled for me by small kid hands.

Good Morning,
Just wanted to reach out and let you know that if you would like to see where your spot is to call: 1-888-462-7577 or email Dan our customer experienced director at dan@markvii-loading.com and he will give you an update.
Thank You,
Mark 7 Reloading Team
I've been in contact with Dan. Very satisfied with my communication with him.
No complaints here, as a first adopter I understand delays and prefer something be produced excellent versuses rushed to market.
I am a Mark 7 believer... The evolution wasn't something I needed, as my Super 1050 and Mark 7 automation produce at speeds more than adaquate for my needs. I however bought an Evolution as I believe Mark 7 makes outstanding products. The early adopter discount and selling my other presses will fund the Evolution easily.

#9 in line makes me jealous, I am sitting in the top third of orders according to my email.. preordered on March 15 here.
Glad I didn't sell the Super 1050 just yet.

Does the endoscope connect to phone via wi-fi or Bluetooth or possibly USB?? Curious in the link to Amazon
Thanks!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProI also use the 7mm Endoscope, brand is Fanatronics. USB Mini connector and came with a reg usb adapter. They also give a link to the app to use on android phones, I use an old laptop and it connects fine.

Playing with some new powder and bullets today:
Blue Bullets 147gr and CFE Pistol 3.7gr.
Came out at:
137 Power Factor out of a CZ 75B SP01 (AVG 934 and SD of 9)
160 Power Factor out of my 16" PCC (AVG 1088 and SD of 18)
Going to try and drop another 7 Power factor to see if it make a change, recoil was terrible.

the extractor on my broke 300 rounds in, but it's run like a champ since i send the bolt back to them for repair
On the customer service side of things, did they give you an option to replace the extractor if they sent you a new one or did they give you the only option to send back the bolt for repaid?
To OP: Approaching 500 rounds in my PSA AR9, beyond the wonky LRBHO not working 100%, it has been fantastic so far, oh the stupid birdcage looks dumb.

Any other recommendations or update to triggers since this was last posted?

here's an interactive website that helps you with Dillon caliber conversions, to limit buying duplicate pieces.

+1 on the Oakleys! Great prescription glass available in almost any frame they sell.
I already owned a set of Oakleys "asian fit" that my Optomistrist was able to send out to a lab to get replacement lenses made for it. Color options etc, worked out much cheaper than going to Lenscrafters who are an Oakley dealer around me.
I wish I did this many years ago instead of trying to deal with contacts, etc.

I would love to find some of these magazines... I don't even need them to fill to capacity.. just hold 10 rounds so I can finally shoot my M&P in production.

Easy math I tell anyone asking about reloading...
"Reloading doesn't save me a dime, it just lets me shoot twice as much than buying factory ammo."
I apply this rule to any ammo i shoot... NRA Highpower, Local Matches, and plain old plinking ammo.
i.e. If you are buying WWB for plinking, I just generalize that instead of spending 14.99 for a box of 100 9mm... I can just reload 200 rounds of quality comparable to WWB.
Your normal ammo budget will be converted to your reloading budget, (save some $$ for buying 22LR!)
I use this rule of thumb as advice, since shopping habits for everyone is different, bulk buying is where you see the most savings, but beginners typically purchase smaller quantities(1lb of powder, 1k of primers, 500 bullets). I'd hate to see a beginning reloader discouraged that they aren't producing 9mm match ammo at the 10-13 cents a bulker buyer is.

If you are using the PTX Powderfunnel, you don't need to expand in station #2. Let the Powderfunnel PTX do that for you.
Add a 10 dollar IKEA LED light with the flexible head, I just zip tied mine to the press.. perfect illumination with the head light in the middle of the press.

I'd take a 9mm slide and a .22LR slide and "just take my money now"..
