Still cant replace mine on warranty and someone had 10
It's been almost a year
I always wonder how their Open team can keep on shooting? Maybe they have gone Atlas/Bul with Staccato stickers on slide
Any idea how Bullesteros are handling the strain?
-
Problem is that you cannot do 10K review cause compensator os slide will crack
-
Rather interesting option since BUL is almost an only 2011 you can get in Europe.
-
Yep Dillon isn't that innovative or market sensitive as others. They are the trusty old geezer with warranty, but might die away when competition starts to be lightyears ahead.
-
Well I am still waiting for warranty and it has been almost a year. Matchmaster and DVC open slides both gone.
You must be one of the sponsored shooters to get service?
-
Reading this thread and I had to order 20k SPM primers. 360 EUR here in EU.

That’s 750 killer maybe 1059/1100
As a 1050 owner I agree.

US Companies can ship gun parts now. Rules changed early this year. Shooters Connection ships gun parts out every day.
That's great news!

You have to understand that getting spare parts in Europe is very complex, legislation restricts ordering from other countries and getting parts from USA is almost impossible cause of ITAR.
And there are many companies like STI Staccato that don't send any parts to Europe or fix their guns even if warranty is not expired.

ATF + motoroil mix for the winter. Soon it's getting below -20C.
Oh I am not shooting open, all my STI slides are cracked.
-
Ouch this reminded me that I am sill waiting STI warranty to call
-
Just buy if the price is right.

Generally I don't recommend using N310 but we live difficult times. Pressure and inconsistency(accuracy) are the issues here. Maybe polymer coated bullet helps here, but keep safe and switch back to a little slower powder when available. Quicload is usually very optimistic about speed, so I hope that you make minor PF.

CR2032 is a wrong battery anyway. Spring loaded 1/3N would be better.
-
I am pretty sure that all of these have same failure points coming from same factory. Electronics design and recoil protection is just bad.

Single stack is hard, that's why its not popular.

What is the best die for swage station? Hitting some .22 cases inside 9mm time to time and original one seems to mold them to 9mm case...
Currently running 9mm
- Dillon decap, size
- Dillon original swage
- primer, none
- powder, with DAA expander
- MBF
- Dillon seat
- Lee FC
-
Still no warranty reply, timetable from STI / Staccato, whatever.
However I receive these spams emails almost daily "Made in America, Staccato offers a lifetime Warranty"
-
Some local small matches have two entry fees
- 5 EUR, competitor commits to patch, help with stages and clean things up
- 20 EUR, you can sit on your ass
Works in both ways and makes clear what is expected from you.
-
147gr is easiest for your hands with minor pistol loads. Sure you can have a nice 115gr load if PF is not an issue.
-
It's love when you have fully dialed MBF and autodrive with right amount of case mouth expand on every case.
What I have learner
- With mixed range brass more expand is better than less(some very hardened cases, nontox)
- If bullet does not seat, it's usually a cracked case
- Toss almost all stackable plates out of MBF when using 9mm bullets
- Regularly check if bullet has slipped off from feeder plate to interfere with bullet rotation
- Use rubber band on bullet drop die
-
Good to hear! Sooner we get this s#!t past we can go back to normal.
It's been almost a year
the 1050 vs the 1100 for 223/9mm experienced users only please

It's a fairly simple mechanical device anyway. Just buy what you can get.
