  1. Just noticed that the Bomar on my SVI single stack is loose. It is wiggling in the dove tail a little. Is this thing just fit to the dove tail ? or is there a screw under the hinged blade assembly? Any suggestions on how to remove and tighten would be great help thx dcalvert
  2. I have Bedell shorty super-comp that I bought used off the these forums. It has been absolutely reliable. I also had an opportunity to contact Dan even thought I did not buy this gun from him he was very helpful both thru email and the phone. That is service! The gun besides being 100% reliable is just gorgus to look at. It is a no brainer buy one from Dan Bedell and be sure you have the best, dcalvert
  3. To bad to here MB is closing, Billy Bullets are a very good moly coated bullet and Rudy is a great guy. dcalvert
  4. Here in Arizona it's usually pretty warm but when it does get near freezing it is obvious that the lube can slow the gun down. I prefer to use Gun Butter in this weather. good stuff! www.gunbutter.com dcalvet
  5. HSMITH is a good guy to deal with in regards to mag tunning. Work is perfect when comparied to the best. His turn around time, pricing and service are second to none. dcalvert
  6. I switched to MasterBlasters in my limited gun due to the price escalation of jacketed bullet market. I have shot about 6000 so far with out a hicup. Very accurate and the price is the best out there right now. Service is excellent. Have another 6300 ready to load. Kinda wish I had some of that money I spent on 5he 50,000 plus JHP's back! dcalvert
  7. I have been shooting Drillmasters for 2 years now and have not shot a drill that used steel in it yet. Most of the drill are easy to set up and look very simple. The thing about them is that they are very challenging to shoot! Rob sets them up and does mutiple runs trying to better his score.(always scoring) After shooting these with Rob and Kippi it has become apparent to me that only someone with the experience of TGO could come up with such a simple looking but very challengening set of drills. Rob and Kippi are both amazing people and deserving of all that he has acomplished. Join Drillmasters it is a bargin. dcalvert
  8. I shoot the 200gr SWC in my 5" SVI, runs like a champ thousands shot. Nice no expoxed lead. Also very accurate load. Loading 5.0 of WST @ 1.250 170 PF dcalvert
  9. I called Dillon today they took the time to looked it up and they will resend me another copy of the Oct 06 Blue press which contains the load data that I am looking for. Just more proof that Dillon goes the extra mile for there customers. I have nothing but praises for the way that this company is run. Pure excellence from the top down!! dcalvert
  10. A few months ago the blue press had an intesting article on a load that used heavy bullets 250 grain if i remember using fast powder like Vit 310 Any way I have missplaced this copy and I am intested in working up a load like this. Does any one have this article around still and could you post the load data from it? Thx. dcalvert

  12. Pro ears Rock!! I have a set that is 7 years old that I finally set back into Pro Ears, they are worn 3 to 4 times a week. These were still working but one switch was getting kinda funny sounding when turn on. Even out of waurentee these guys to care of me. After they inspected them they called me and said that they would replace any electronic parts and replace all the rubber/foam parts for 50 bucks including shiping. They came back like brand new 3 weeks from the day I shiped them out. Pro Ears A++++++
  13. Brian, I tried this drill in my Thursday practice session, It is very good, my average score for 10 runs was 5.78 limited. My first runs were the best as I started to push I was factored to death. Can you forward me part 2 ? Thanks, Dale

  17. I am intrested in making a short flat trigger from and STI gunsmith blank. Can anyone tell me the best way to do this . What tools will cut and shape & them the best any any other experience from someone who has done this would help.
  18. Update, Got a chance to try out my updated 650 bullet feeder system after GSI got it back to me. It Is working much better. I was able to load about 400 round this time be fore I had a malfunction. The bullet extentions spring that is on the feed wheel got mashed in the jam. GSI had included a spare one this time so is changed it out and it ran fine again. I called GSI they are going to mail me a spare one to have on hand. I decieded to try the rotory bullet feeder. So I orderd one time will tell.
  19. I have one for a 650 that has not proved to be any faster than I can load by hand. GSI introduced the feed system only at the 05 SMM3G last March of 05 for a special price of $219.95 with out the auto feed. They said at that time the auto feed was still being designed and would be out in the next year. It is a very high quality made product. My thougt was I could lay out the $220 and give it a try, then add the auto bullet feeder when available. Ordered in March recieved in June after calling Exavier a few times to keep it moving. After installation on my press I immediately was having problems with it crushing bullets in feed wheel. When loading with (auto feed everything) when one of the stations has a problem it get out of sequence and its a chore to clear up and get it back in order. Any way I called GSI and spoke with Exavier and he thought the bullet seating die was the cullprit. I sent him a handful of Zero 121 JHP's and a week later I had a new seating die. I set it back up and it was much better but still was having problems. It would not run more than around ten rounds with out a jamb. After strugling thru a few thousand round I removed the dies and set it on mt bench. Fast forward to 11/11/05 GSI had there 1050 bullet feeder with the bullet rotory feed system.(Proto type) in the tent and was taking orders. It also look like a very precision make piece. I spoke with Exavier and told him that I was having trouble and had removed it from my machine. He was very nice and said that they had made some improvements to it, and mine was an early one (Beta). I brought it to him on Sunday for him to take back to there shop for upgrades. I went out to there shop and pick my toolhead up about 1 week ago and have not put it on one of my machines yet to see if it is working correctly now. I have 2 650's and a 1050 and I am not yet going to lay down for the new rotory bullet feeder yet. GSI is definetly onto something here I am not sure that all the issues have been work out yet. There parts and machine work are beautiful but maybe in the Beta stage yet. They will work with you and profesional.
  20. What is the safe way to dispose of rejected bullets, Primers and powder?
  21. Will the STI 2011 (limeted gun) with full length dust cover fit the Safariland 560?(with the paddle). (Edited by dcalvert at 5:38 pm on Feb. 3, 2002)
