5Shot

After thinking about it some more, I think I am headed towards the 650 upgrade. I would like to have the case activated powder drop, which I obviously don't get on the BL550 and a priming system is a plus. The RL550 is way over my budget anyway. That being said, I would probably want a strong mount and a roller handle, which is another $200 and change. That would put the basic BL550 several hundred more than a 650 upgrade with case feed plate, powder measure, and a priming system set up for large primers. I'm not shooting benchrest, so I think I'll go this route. For the few rounds that I do want to trickle powder for, I can do that on the single stage. Thanks for the input.

Currently, the BL550 with the conversion kit is actually a bit more than buying a complete conversion with powder measure and priming system for the 650. If it was only $250, that would be a no brainer, since I could use it for other calibers that I don't shoot a ton of.

500 rounds

I did a quick search but didn’t find anything. Looking at a setup for 308. I could buy a BL550 for the same price as a complete 650 conversion, including primer mechanism. Granted I get all the bells and whistles with the 650, but I won’t be shooting thousands of rounds of 308 either. Any reason to pick one over the other, outside of the case feeder and priming system?

I guess it depends on what your questions are. I have carried one daily, and I know a lot of people who do. The 1911 is my most requested concealment holster, even with all the popularity of plastic guns.

Then I would say you are good to go. Mine functions 100% with Gun Clubs, but I have lots of rounds through it.

If I'm not mistaken, those are rebranded Holosuns. I have friends who have better luck with Holosun than they do their RMRs, but then there are experiences like yours. I think it is a crap shoot.

Did you try to outrun it with 00 Buck?

10401 is the standard, which I have on my M1. The field stock and the tactical stock (with the sling plate in the middle) are different.

Darkstar Gear - but leather is king

There is ZERO chance of ruining a barrel with Copper Chore Boy (which are only made from 99.9% copper) or bronze wool. Two swipes and the lead is gone. Just a different type of Bronze Bore Brush. I have used them on my pistols and rifles that shoot lead for years, and no harm has ever come to the barrels - Douglas, Pac-Nor, Shilen.

Good point! I always use Bronze Wool

you will see the grey streaks in the rifling - sometimes it takes side light at the muzzle. Wrap a bore brush with some copper chore boy scouring pad or bronze wool and it will pull it right out.

You can also call and ask about any promotions. They are really good about letting you know what the best deals are.
