Thanks, they arrived today here in NJ!! Ordered on Wednesday afternoon about an hour after I saw this post - this was the fastest bullet shipment I have ever seen (Priority Mail!!).

PAL is the way to go, had two Vibra Prime and never got them to work, even with the the recommended fixes that were posted here.

I have no clue why he used SS, probably he had some in the shop available.

20 oz, they are machined from stainless steel. Guess one could 3d print and put some weights in (maybe some fishing lead, as bullets are too precious now...).

I have these weights that are fitting into the powder hopper. A friend of mine's father made them years ago, and they just work fine. At the moment I am using Prima V 3.9 grains for 124 JHP's and I check only from time to time, but the range I am getting is 3.88 - 3.92, which I think is quite good. I still do check a few drops at every beginning of a reloading session, adjustments are rarely needed.

There is a lot of crap brass out there lately...guess due to the ammo shortage, a lot of brands I never heard of coming out now. I still sort all my brass after cleaning (range pick up, mine is often mixed with others brass), and some goes straight to the scrap bin (brass scrap prices are good right now). Also see a lot of military brass lately.

It's not....all kinds of brass through my PPQ's showing this. Aguilla never gets in any of my guns, they go to the scrap yard.

Yes, all the cases out of my Walther's look like this.

Update: from the last box of LP I used (the one marked March 2017) I just had three rounds out of 200 fail. Guess its is the primers.....the other boxes (from the same delivery I guess) had no problems and I never experienced any with SP and have used thousands of them. One of the three rounds finally fired after the third attempt, but two did not at all. Too bad I tossed them in the box at our range for bad ammo, should have taken them home and open them up and analyze.

Get your money back, contact your credit card company. Find someone who delivers when selling bullets, there are many they do; Precision Delta, Acme, DG

lol rotflmao

That's odd, in the last 4-6 weeks or so, I got 124 JHP twice and 230 acp once from PD, so keep looking - I should be good for quite sometime.

on the other hand...

Odd that you find primers and no bullets. I think bullets are the easiest components to be found for reloading right now, the primers are the unicorns... Check out Precision Delta, I was lucky several times during the last 12 months or so. Just need to keep an eye on their website. if they have what you want, do not hesitate -order!!

Brother P Touch as well

So, ordered on the 13th 2k .45 acp from precision Delta. Today the FEDEX van backed up into my driveway and Ann the driver got out and I walked to the truck and picked one box up. She brought the second and asked right away "whatcha reloading??", and so we started to chat a bit about reloading. She and her husband are hunters and shooters and also reloading. We had a good talk where to get stuff these days. This made my day, that had started a bit s#!tty for me...Got to love PD and their super fast order fulfillment (and the friendly FEDEX driver).

Ordered on the 29th of April from Precision Delta, they came in yesterday (9mm 124 JHP). USPS, my mailman was not too happy to slep the box from his truck to my door steps, but the box and what was inside were OK, no damages. They double up on the flatrate box, so it is sturdier, plus the ammo boxes inside fit like a glove into the box. .

They have to re-apply for a permit: "As stated in the last update, I have had to reapply for another import permit with the ATF through my broker. This process takes at minimum 8 weeks, during which time I am waiting for the approval and am given zero update from the ATF or any other agency. This is now a waiting game and without anyone providing me with any updates, I have no updates for any of you at this time. " Refund was made without any problem and within a couple days I had my money back, lesson learned from my side. Sounded too good to be true.

I have Armanov knobs and always look for the arrow direction ( - or +), never look at the numbering. Always weigh the charge, though...want more, I go towards the + direction, want less, I go towards - direction.

To be exact, I got them in March 2017. I always put month and year on the primer boxes when I get them in. Good old times when you could get 5k delivered for some $150.

This was from either 2017 or 2018.

Never had an issue with large primers failing, but the other day, I had a small primer mixed in the large primers. No idea how this happened, other than in the packaging of the primers. This was truly odd. Just had loaded some 10 primer tubes with LP and had no SP around - PAL filler, in which I dump the primers directly from the tray. I also use separate presses for large and small primers. So when this primer showed up, I looked what is going on as i did not feel anything when setting the primer, and yes, there it was a small primer. Odd

Use some lube on new brass.

One box arrived here today, the other is scheduled for tomorrow!! Yeah!!
