  1. I have been reloading Shellshock cases for a few months on a Hornady LNL. I am using the dedicated S3 sizing and flaring dies. It is very important to adjust the CAP screws on both dies to get just the right amount of spring tension to push the cases out. This took some trial and error. I was initially using Hornady Case lube and found that it was much harder to resize fired NAS3 cases that regular brass. I made my own lube form 99% ISO and Lanolin and now prelude the cases and let them dry overnight. This has smoothed out the sizing stroke of the press. Where I am having issues with these cases when compared to heavier brass is in the case feeder hopper. Brass cases are bottom heavy and drop and feed quickly from the hooper into the case feed tube. These lighter cases which seem to be a little top heavy take a very long time to get positioned correctly in the hopper and drop. They tend to pool around at the low end of the hopper and not drop into the openings in the hopper plate. Has anyone else experienced this and come up with a solution?
  2. Does anyone know if this gun would be legal for IDPA carry optics if it is milled for red dot and lightened to come at or under 45 ounces. I do not see the bull barrel limitation in the ESP or CO rules. Thanks.
