    Brass Storage Container Ideas?

    What brand container are these with the curved latches?  I'm using the sterilites I posted pics page 1 but the latches wear out over time so have been thinking of changing up the system.  I see you also have a lone purple latch sterilite on the bottom shelf, would you say the blue curved handle containers are sturdier?

     

    EDIT I think I found them on Amazon, they are also the Sterilite brand?  Still interested in how the compare to the purple latch version if you can advise...thanks.

    They are much nicer than most.. handle weight and easy to open and close.  The purple was one hanging around and got used.

    I’ve had Dan Bedell of Bedell Custom build me  Limited, Open  and Single Stack pistols. Each gun ran from the start. He’s very easy to work with and is one of the top gunsmiths in the country. You wouldn’t be disappointed if he built you a gun. 

    As dave said, dan bedell is a great guy... you wont be disappointed

    I know you don't want or need to hear this but I've got over 40-50k of CCI sm pistol through one of my Bedell guns and no signs of breech erosion.

    I'm loading 6.8 of Auto Comp, mixed brass and 124 PD, 1.165-70

     

    My Akai limited guns have had 1000's of win or Fed SMALL pp with 173 PF loads with WST and also never a sign of erosion.  Did y'all check with the slide maker about warranty.

    Of course that doesn't cover the labor cost and that's where the real money is!!!

    Good Fortune with it!

    the gun went back to them 4 times for the same issue and always was told a different fix. Finally told it needs a new slide. so more $$ out the door. at this point as long as it runs i dont care.. and im not sure who provided the slide as all i did was pay him.

    I don't either esp since my loads were under max for what others are using with his firearms in 9major and was told changing to sc would of fixed the issue and it didn't.. only cost me 5x's the cost in supplies lmao . and also i run major in a sti edge (but .40) and never an issue with sm pistol primers. but it got to the point that after 40 rounds or so the gun would lock up from brass shavings. so who knows... now my wifes gun is using the same load with hs6 and no issues with shavings (sm rifle) in 38sc. 

    Has anyone ever been hurt by a 180 violation ?

    Fortunately I've never witnessed a flesh & blood injury. However at a local match last year I was with the rest of the squad in the gallery behind the stage loading mags. When I head "stop" I looked up and had a spectacular view of the muzzle end of a Glock. Perfect sight alignment. While no shooter suffered any injury, I unfortunately can't say the same for my boxers. They will be missed. 

    I dq'd a friend at a major match for something similar. he turned to run across stage and muzzle at a camera man that was at his 180. that was a crappy day, but safety first...

    I've still got a lot of 4756 and N105 to go thru but HS-6 works fine.  Here's a load I developed for my STI Trubor using regular .38 Super brass.  Your 7.4-8.4 gr range should work fine with 38 Super Comp brass.

     

    Bullet:  Montana Gold 124 gr. JHP
    Powder:  Hodgdon HS-6 8.85 grs.
    Primer:  Winchester Small Rifle
    Case:  Starline 38 Super +P
    LOAL:  1.240 (.976 with Stoney Point)
    Avg. Vel.:  1409.57 fps  
    ES:  25.92  
    SD:  7.41
    PF:  174
    Recoil Spring:  8 lbs. with Dawson Aluma Buffer Pad

     

     

    Thanks..

    Keep Shooting!!!

     

    Just for giggles I loaded the same ten rounds over 10 times before any signs of loose primer pockets FWIW

    124 PD/MG, 6.8WAC, FED SRP, or WIN SPP, 1.165/70 depending on bullet.

    9M OR 38SC?

    I've switched to MA dies and had no issues.. the first run of 9mm dies was something with heat treatment. Wayne replaced it and haven't had issues since. have them in 9, 38sc, 40 . haven't roll sized since..
