  1. A 30 degree swing won't have much of an effect on the majority of common powders, but can on some. Just compensate for the difference if using powders like WST, TiteGroup, W231/HP-38 or other somewhat temperature sensitive powders. Chrono & load PF for the 41F and you are good to go.
  2. Selection is discontinued due to lack of availability, not primers themselves. You are going to start a riot with talk like that.
  3. Welcome to the forum, Acnorthport!
  4. Yeti

    Hello

    Welcome, Kash!
  5. Yes, get a chrono. From vid, looks like short stroking. The empties are barely getting out. Go up on the drop weight a bit and/or go down to the next recoil spring weight.
  6. Dawson, TaranT or TaylorF. All are nice, but I'd give the edge to Dawson. Ease of on/off and DP bases cooperate with many magwells.
  7. SSL Cert just needs to be renewed. I'm sure they're on it.
  8. I'll take another whack at that dead horse... Mobil 1, BF-CLP or FP-10.
  9. Interesting design and I think they are pretty cool, but not a good idea for competition use these days. No support at all now, no parts. Soon there will be no parts even available at places like Sarco. Unless you plan on buying a bag of spare LDA unique parts, I say no. If you just want to own one for general use, go for it. Still buy the spare parts though.
  10. Hope we all can get some SPP someday soon. Neutering 10mm brass is just sad.
  11. I'm with the WHY? votes. Just download the 10mm brass to your 40S&W PF and shoot until SPP are available again.... maybe in 2024. Extra set of dies? Voting yes. Setting up a magnum toolhead make sense. Swap and load to pre-established settings. Quick, easy, no monkeying around.
  12. Congrats on the new Dillon and welcome to the forum, Wildcat! The Blue Cult has a strong following here.
  13. Welcome to the forum, RH!
  14. Welcome to the forum, Troy! Wishing you a smooth remainder of deployment.
  15. New changes seem fine to me, but we'll see what gamer ridiculousness transpires. Definite move away from IPSC. Would enjoy an Action .22 option too, nice!
  16. Other than needing FEDs for tuned revo use, shoot what you can get these days. It is rough out there! Never noticed a significant difference (other than perhaps seating effort) with swapping in commonly used standard pistol primer brands for an existing well below MAX load. Certainly I have preferences, but can't be too picky at the moment.
  17. Dirty range brass goes into one bucket to be sorted, deprimed & cleaned. 5 gallon bucket for each type, plus one misc. Each holds clean ready to load batches in large Ziploc freezer bags, just zip and dump in feeder. If I didn't bag batches, I'd probably go with the cat litter containers. Way easier to move around.
  18. Minor PF looked decent, but Major went to hell. Try using sandbags. Perhaps you do need a little larger bullet. What did the barrel slug out to?
  19. Generally, feeds better in a platform designed around a longer OAL. The longer OAL also provides more margin (lower pressures) when using faster powders for Major PF loads.
  20. I would need to be forewarned and think about that one during event to not be asked to leave. Hope they have really tall berms! That no muzzle pointed too much above parallel would get me on reloads. For the original question, I would leave my gun on the safe table and take the belt rig with loaded mags with me to the loo.
  21. Also....choose what you can get without a 6mo wait.
  22. ACME or Eggleston 124 and your powder of choice. I like Sport Pistol & N340, but there are many options. Not if you do it correctly. Bullet sizing must still be correct at preferably at least one thousandth over bore. Some barrels may prefer more. Eggleston 124 and BBI 125 have worked well for me. Powder choice matters too. I like Titegroup, but not with Hi-Tek bullets due to too much heat. TG gave me a pronounced burned wire smell and crisped fiber optic inserts way.
  23. Another thought... Check to make sure you run the longer spring (15 coil?) in the 10rd bodies, not the standard.
  24. Those feedlips all seem a bit tight. Don't think your issue is loose lips. Replace the mag springs. I run wider than your settings. .385" - .388" in front and .380 - .382 rear (for an average OAL of 1.180") but adjust this based on desired high/low presentation. Adjust for what works smoothly in your pistol, with your preferred loads.
