Or do a google search of the Benoverse.

If you ditch the pins it doesn't stick as bad on the powder funnel (because you're not scoring the inside of the cases) and you'll also get rid of what was, for me, the worst part of wet tumbling. Primers seat easier too!

Just one note - if you have metal dental picks or something similar you can adjust pre-travel without stripping the trigger from the frame. Otherwise agree - if the over travel screw works itself in too far you'll have a harder pull.

I used to use pins, now I wet tumble without unless I'm deburring trimmed rifle brass. Keeps the lead dust from getting all over which is the benefit for me.

The Apeiro's slide is almost as light as the DVCs due to the island slide cut, and better because sight-tracker and Schuemann. It doesn't look as racy but is IMO the better gun (and I've got one of each).

I agree with ^^^ re: the bit needing to shoot 135+ .357 sized bullets for decent accuracy, making the 929 as a gun that can shoot any 9mm loads a pipe dream. No idea what the bit about oversized chambers is about? The nonsense re: titanium's inherent deficiencies is just that. Never had an issue with sticking, galling, etc... But I know not to f*#k with the Ti cylinder as removing the anodizing has a definite negative impact, and the need for chamfering is IMO pretty small if you're using RN bullets since the cases are tapered, minimizing issues with a case hanging up on the case mouth.

This is what I do. I save my videos to a OneDrive folder and then use the OneDrive app on my phone to save the videos and run them through shot coach. Making use of a ShotMaxx times from spy mode is more painful than learning the Shot Coach UI. And that's saying something.

1911 or 2011? Using spacers in your mags?

It's releasing two cases onto the shell plate instead of one.

I've done all those tricks. The problem is two 9mm cases get dropped at the same time...

So after a lot of little tweaks I have my LNL running great but for one thing. With mixed 9mm brass, 2 cases drop at once every 20 or so rounds. No issues with sorted brass (I sort Win & Fed for my revolvers). There seems to be no commonality or way of predicting this - any experiences / fixes?

I do the same. The only exception is bringing a friend who's going to be running the same drills and practicing with the same mindset.

I'm guessing that's what the stage name refers to.

I like 3.8 GR of N310 under a coated 185 SWC or a Berrys 185 HBRN. You'll need to swap down to a 10-11 lb recoil spring. It's soft.

I'd like one for local falling steel matches, but I think after one match they'd put in a rule prohibiting them - 2 extra rounds / reload on a 25-30 round string adds up to a lot of time. I'd still buy one at $1500 - $2000

Just as well, "double tapping" isn't a skill you really want to work on. Two shots, two sight pictures.

Not sure that it's that much faster with coupled mags. The only coupler I've been able to find for colt mags required that they face different directions which kills quick changes. Even with a standard coupler, I bet I could reload just as fast to a 10 round colt / standard 17 Rd Glock 17 mag off the belt. How so? Do you know something DNROI doesn't?

I'm not sure if I didn't communicate clearly in my last post. If I used the same powder for two different weight bullets, then sure the heavy bullet = lower charge = less gas for the comp. But thats not what I wrote. My example was using two different powders so the same charge weight led to the same PF for each bullet. Then you would have the same amount of gas working the comp got each round. Now there might not be an powder where you can use the same charge weight as you do with HS-6 and 115s for 147s, but a lot of folks seem comfortable with a middle ground of 124s and low 7 grains of powder. You can make the same PF with 147s and low 7 grains of 3N38. I'm agree with your comments re: the burn characteristics, but really only think there's one part of it that matters. Running a Sim in QL, both rounds reach a similar max pressure within .02 milliseconds of each other (.00002 seconds). Both generate the same volume of gas. Where they differ is the pressure that gas is under when the bullet hits the comp and the gas starts to work, with WAC at 200 PSI and 3N38 at just over half that. So the WAC would work the comp more efficiently. The pure recoil impulse will be indistinguishable as the momentum of the projectile and ejecta is nearly identical between loads. However, the WAC load will feel harsher and more violent due to the additional noise / pressure associated with higher pressures at the muzzle. At the end of the day the 147 loads are more expensive and likely don't perform quite as well unless your hearing is still fully intact and the extra noise from the 124s make them uncomfortable to shoot, but I doubt I'd see any difference on the timer. Am I close?

That was a solid vid. Here's a question / observation. Gas volume is based largely on charge weight. So if I use 7.2 GR of WAC behind a 124 or 7.0 GR of 3N38 behind a 147 I'm getting similar gas volume, so if I'm getting the same PF recoil should be almost indistinguishable. Now, one of those combinations may be more expensive, but I'm not sure it would be objectively worse in a blind taste test.

There is no change in the rules. DNROI has the authority to interpret the rules. So it's really a non-issue.

Just grabbed another 10K of the S&B SPPs. Almost as soft as Federals and for under $25/K delivered!

I haven't found a need to on my Sig 1911s. YMMV.

That is very different than this; Also, if you're qualifying # 2 in your list with a "probably" you shouldn't include it, since it's just a guess. You may as well say "it probably won't accurate", "it probably will be snappy", or any more of the many "probably"s one could throw in. To say nothing of the fact that the book max reflects the projectile used in the book, loaded to the OAL in the book (that's a pretty important one), in the books factory test setup. Loading long is one way to reduce pressures for a given load with minor impact on velocity, and something experienced loaders take into account. When you paint with a broad brush, as you did in your very first post here, you're going to be wrong.

Here's another gem of yours: Again, your inexperience is showing. A low charge weight doesn't mean a lower peak pressure is reached, or the combo is any safer. In fact, just about any reloader would agree that fast powders with heavy bullets are a much more volatile combination than fast powders with light bullets. But here you are letting us know that making major in 40 with Clays and 200 GR bullets is OK because lower charge weights are used, but making minor with RS Comp and 124s is not. I think I've made my point here.
