  1. Ive got a red hill tactical one that fits my STI tactical.
  2. Your barrel is the one that SSanders is comparing with the barsto.
  3. This was from Barsto at the time I had troubles. I couldnt get one of their barrels where I live unfortunately and it wouldn't be prod legal for IPSC anymore anyway.

We have done and are doing lots of those and they are working good without the chamber issue . If you need anything else let us know. Thank you, Irv Stone III
  4. Another guy down here with a similar issue and more carnage.
  5. Before I bought my first P320x5 I loaded 8000 rounds in one batch on an autodriven 1050. I shot 3000 of these through CZ's, glocks and 1911's with no problems. Within 50 rounds on my new to me X5 with a silver barrel I noticed bulged cases, I continued shooting and lost my extractor when a case finally ruptured. I thought the barrel was faulty beause it had a huge lack of chamber support compared to my other guns. I posted on here about it so I bought another new P320 x5 with a black barrel while I tried to track down a new barrel for the first one. I tried to get warranty support with no luck. Less than 1 full mag in with the new gun I had bulged cases again. Back to shooting CZ's, glocks and 19/2011's and that same batch of ammo had zero problems. The x5's don't have the right chamber support to use faster powders or marginal quality cases. If I swapped out powder it was fine, if I sorted my brass by headstamp it was fine. The cases that did not work in the x5 are fine with 9 major in my open gun if that is any indication.
  6. Mine only ever blew out the sides. The bottom of the case was ok. Worst barrels ever. In 10 years time people will be talking about sig face or sig bulge instead of the glock bulge. Extractors will also be sold in bags of 10.
  7. This normally, but the people won't have it. I've lost count of how many I've seen now. The one above looks like a double charge though. That primer pocket is gone!
  8. Mine broke in a day. Before it was replaced under warrantly I bought the dillon. You still wear out your thumbs using it after a few hundred cases.
  9. How much does 50k 38 SC cost you? Down here it costs $300 AUD per 1000 at its cheapest. Normally its $450.
  10. https://scshootingoptics.com/trijicon-sro-specialized-reflex-optic-red-dot-1-0-moa-sro1-c-2500003.html
  11. You made sure it didnt work before you messed with it right? right?
  12. How many rounds have you shot out of it Terry? Used any AP50?
  13. Is it an old x5 before the trigger issues were fixed? The new ones don't fire out of battery. They have a 1911 style of disconnector. The barrel support is just s#!t. I was an early adopter of the p320x5. The chamber has no support compared to other guns, even the glock is better. You can load around it but you shouldn't have to. Almost everyone I know with one in my country has lost extractors and bulged cases now. My favourite was a mate saying he had no problems at all and lent it to another friend. My friend opened the case at the start of a match and the extractor wasn't there. I remember loading a batch of 8000 rounds. I shot half of them in my shadow 2 with no issues. Bought the sig, had issues straight away. Bought another sig because I thought the barrel was faulty, more issues. Sold the x5's and shot the rest of the ammo in other guns with no issues. Use a slower powder and good quality cases. No CBC, no tulammo, no WIN, no PPU. I was loading with 122 grain bullets, I'm not sure if heavier bullets reduce the pressure. Maybe that could help.
  14. Does it fit before you roll size?
  15. The parts for each conversion kit are shown in the manual for both presses. Have a read.
  16. Is your toolhead bolt tight? I had some high primers and wierd things happening and it had loosened. Are you sure the feeder mechanism that pushes the primer slide is in correctly? Its possible to tighten down the primer assembly and this lands on top of the primer slide and not in the gap it needs to be in.
  17. How good is an on press trimmer. I got my lyman trim die this morning finally. I didnt have any trouble with stuck cases or not enough of the case sticking out of the top. My brass was all sized with the dillon sizing die. The die screws in deep, It would be better on a short tool head but works fine. Just can't fit the die nut on top.
  18. Ive got an older mark 7 that does 2400 on a 1050. It can load at that speed but its stressful to watch. I don't think its sustainable. You are just waiting for a problem at that speed. 1800 is a nice pace and you can stop it if you see an upside down bullet or something. When I preprocess 2400 seems ok but sometimes a case will jam on insertion into the shell plate, it might jam for a second then gets thrown across the room or it will clutch out. It is much smoother at lower speeds. My unit is 4 or so years old, the tablet has never been buggy. A friend has a mark 7 on his 1100. No complaints.
  19. Not without modification. When I bought an x5 from Shooters Delight they sent it with 2 226 mags by accident.
