    I need some trigger help.

    I had the exact same problem with a triggertech adaptable trigger.  Triggertech was extremely responsive - i sent the trigger to them and they tested it in several guns but couldn’t reproduce the behavior.  I reproduced it in at least 2 lowers and ended up moving it to a lower where it didn’t exhibit the same problem.  I also adjusted it to nearly the heaviest trigger weight.  I couldn’t figure out why it exhibits the behavior in some lowers but works flawlessly in others.  It’s currently in a very stock rifle-length buffer rifle and has been solid.

     

    Triggertech gave me all possible options - from replace to refund. I appreciated their customer service so much I kept the trigger and still use it. 

    I’d suggest check directly with them - they were very responsive for me.

    Did the bolt that was giving you issues get tested in the lowers? When I switched bolts (from Lantac to JP) my issue totally disappeared.

    MA systems casefeeder

    I just purchased a used MA Systems case feeder.(older yellow one) The person I purchased did not have anything but the unit itself. The case feeder has a strange extension cord attached and my best guess is there was some kind of switch that caused the unit to run.

    when I plug the case feeder to juice, nothing happens. Can anyone share photos or a description for the parts missing.

    I have a TriggerTech Diamond and although it will go gown to 1 lb I have it set at about 2.5.

    I have several times (live fire only) had the hammer follow the bolt home and  when the trigger is pressed its dead. Will not fire. I can manually work the charging handle and the rifle with fire. I have tried to reproduce the problem manually working the bolt and it only seems to do it during live fire. 

    Also important, I thought i hada faulty trigger so I swapped it out with a second trigger (same make model). Problem persists. 

     

    Any ideas?

    I check he seating stem and I am already using the pointed end. I did notice there is quite a bit of access room. I also tried Dillion's suggestions of allowing the cases to center the dies. I will load some over the weekend and report back.

     

    if it doesn't fix it, I'll order the Redding die.

    The reloads worked fine with this powder funnel. If something has changed I'm not sure what it is.

     

    the bullets measure .358

     

    the cases range from .740 to .746

     

    the bell is set for the shorter cases, so the longer ones are probably getting hit pretty hard, but seem to get pressed into shape at the crimp stage.

     

    you can see the bulge better in this pic. It's only on one side, almost like the bullet is cockeyed.....

    I'm hoping you guys will have seen this before and be able to help me out.

    im reloading on a Dillon 650 with Dillon dies. The only thing I changed was the powder funnel to the one provided with the mr bullet feeder.

     

    you can see where the base of the bullet is making a visible line on the outside of the brass. These rounds will not chamber.

    I used to shoot precision rifle and when working up loads would chase ES in the low teens and SD in the single digits. What have you guys found to be reasonable spreads with a gas gun. I'm getting ES in the 33-35 range and SD in the 13-15 range. Usually this would be plenty good for anything 3-gun but around here we are getting 500-600 yard targets every month...I just figured if I put some serious prep in my long range loads, it would increase my margin for error.thanks in advance for your replys.
