Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. Dont know the load data but a buddy was trying to shoot very light charges in his ruger PCC 16" using 380 bullets and ended up with several bullets in the barrel....D I C K
  2. here's a three video rant i guess you'd call it ...this poor guys saint wouldn't chamber anything when he got it and it didn't get much better after sending it back to Springfield...... Judge for yourself....D I C K
  3. Case gauge is a Dillon.......i'm sure they'd love to hear this story.....but i've had several others over my years of reloading that i'm sure gauged some of this ammo to be good...i suspect i got the dillon in a package of reloading gear i got from some retiring shooter...... here's a little more to this story.....went shooting today.....took 60-80 rounds loaded on another loader that i help a buddy set up.....started off with those and had no problems.chambered and shot fine....shot 40 rounds of the ammo that was giving trouble on my first outing...... no failures to chamber....they all went into battery...however they were sticky to try to clear so the ammo is still out of spec a little.....but maybe some of the issues on the initial outing was something that the continued shooting/break in has helped correct...... i don'tneed another case gauge....i'll just use this rifle LOL....thanks for the comments...D I C K PS...did have something happen while i was looking for the case gauge.....saw an old can powder that looked rusty.....picked it up and it practically fell apart in my hand and powder had already run out of the other side.....guess that powder is ready for the trash
  4. Evidently not..... there is no telling how many thousands of rounds loaded just like these I have on hand that will run through every 556/223 that I own...... ive been in touch with a rifle builder I know to get him to cut the chamber hopefully to cure this...
  5. Well as much as I hate to admit it.....that seems to work.....I took a round that would not chamber, pulled the Bullet and resized it and now it chambers fine...... with as much ammo as I have loaded that runs fine in my 4 other rifles, my only option is to sell this one and move on or have someone recut the chamber.....
  6. Thanks Chuck..... I actually took an empty case that case gauged perfectly and the result is the same......thx
  7. I purchased a Springfield saint pistol yesterday and of course went straight to the range....the pistol refuses to chamber my reloads and if by chance one does chamber you cannot get it out without going to extraordinary means......These rounds will pass the case gauge test as well as shoot in my RDB, Bushmaster and Delton upper on another rifle......i've been reloading for over 50 years and have never seen anything like this..... In Springfields defense i ran 60 rounds of factory green tip and it ran flawlessly......any thoughts will be appreciated....Thx....D I C K
  8. we've got our mover system from Secure Systems mover in place and are getting ready to build the walls ect.....The only diagram i can find is one by the NRA i guess and it shows the walls as 50' apart......is that correct?? For some reason i thought they were 60' apart....any help is appreciated....thx....Dick

  10. thanks guys....i got a quote from Secure of seems like $10,600 for the 4 track one including shipping ect....RC
  11. you guys should be able to head me in the right direction on this range improvement... we're looking to replace our Bianchi mover system at our club in NC.....presently we use carriers suspended from cables which creates problems with shot cables ect......... Who makes a good one which runs on tracks and is suitable for Bianchi Cup thx....D I C K
  12. i had one in something go off when the primer was in there sideways.....luckily the powder didn't ignite....D I C K
  13. i bet i'm not the only one that does not hook a vaccum to the trimmer....i only use the vaccum to clean up the mess after im finished...D I C K
  14. Over my 40 + years of reloading i thiink i've tried almost every method of swaging pockets.....one of them was the C&H one that is basically the same as this one for the 650....what i have found is that if there is not something inside the casing pushing it down on the swaging tool from the inside such as the 1050, the Dillon swager or the RCBS, you are asking for problems with the rim being deformed when it is unsupported while the swager is doing it's job....i remember the C&H one would pop a shell clean out of the shellholder and still wouldn[t do as good a job as the ones with a mandrel on the inside of the case i finally settled onthe RCBS because it will make a pocket just like a factory non crimped ones without making the pocket too big like you can do with the dillon tool...seems like the last time i times myself i was doing between 15 and 20 per minute......D I C K
