Not in front of my 650 but I can share this from memory.
1. A second powder funnel is great as you might have to bring it's diameter down just a little to avoid setback.
2. Since you have the .223 shell plate use it but you can use the shell plate for
9mm, just a little more wiggle of the brass in the plate.
3. Your 9mm case feeder plate will work for the 38tj brass.

Ask Matt or Bobby from ck. I'm sure they have it filed away somewhere.

Guys,
My new DVC OPEN in 38SC should be arriving at the end of Jan.
They only come in 38 Super and 9mm from what the STI website says. http://stiguns.com/guns/dvc-open/
Are you sure it's set up for 38SC? It would suck if you had extraction problems right out of the box assuming it's set up for 38 super. Not that it can't be adjusted easily.
Good luck with it when you get it, they are really nice.

I would ask bill sahlberg at highercapacity.com

Talk to Beven directly and get it from the horse's mouth

Makarov for push through works. I used to use it for my 9x21 major brass, no ill effects
-
Look at an earlier post, I attached a picture of what it was
-
Sight it in freestyle, not off a rest. You don't use a rest in a uspsa style match.
-
Tried posting a pic but the file was too large. Mine has cracked on either side where the case rim sits, not the seam where the halves are welded. Anyone experience that type of failure?
Yes. Contact STI if it concerns you.
-
You can contact sti for a warranty replacement
-
If you don't mind the extra work get a Lee 9x18 makarov fcd, remove the top and put it in a single stage press and push through resize all your 9mm brass. Buy the Lee bulge buster kit for added convenience.
Yes, it does work.
Then use whatever 9mm sizing/decapping die in your press that you like best.
-
Here us the die I use with the top removed.
-
You can use a push through system on a single stage press for 38sc to completely resize the case. Much cheaper than a casepro. I'll have to look at mine to see what die is in there.

Did you buy 13 coil or 11 coil grams springs? 140 mag, you would want an 11 coil spring.
No need to cut coils off of grams springs
-
Did it jam with either size magazine? (140 and 170). Kenny said you were having all sorts of problems Saturday but did not elaborate.
-
have you checked the extractor tension? and what kind of extractor is in there? std type or an Aftec?
-
proper fix is to put small bevels on the bottom of the frame, not mess with the magazine release notch. Many threads about this
-
watch the video's on his website
-
There are several threads about removing just a little bit of frame material on a bevel so the new style SV mags fit. Not all need it done. You'll find others who modify the mag catch hole in the new style SV mag, that is not the correct fix.
Good luck
-
can you live in PA as an alternative? or too long of a commute?
-
I enjoy watching that video about once a year just to remind me of all the advice you give in it.
-
you need to measure the back side of the tube in mm. then get a grams bp to get you to 171.25mm. you probably need a 7mm or 11mm based on your picture, assuming that is a 2.5 or 3mm one you have on there now
-
Read the other mbx threads, answers are there. good luck

Undersize die sold by egw and lee. Made by Lee if memory serves me correct. Resizes the case a little smaller than a typical resizing die.
