Well I am reloading minor in this case so the case is not full.
-
Lol. Yeah, my mags were tuned by Bevin grams. And I agree, I think the longer oals above 1.170 are the culprits. The different oals are due because I am using mixed brass from an outdoor range. Since this is my backup Czechmate, I need to ream the barrel and get more space. I also removed and re installed the bullet seating die.

Fellas, tell me if this makes sense. I’ve been measuring cases that fit the gauge and those who don’t, and I think I’ve come to a conclusion. The ones that don’t fit the gauge have a case head of .390 and above. The ones that fit .389. Makes sense?? The manuals says .394!?!?!? I collect my brass in an outdoor range where multiple guns and 9mm carbines are used. Could this be an issue?
-
Also, what could account for a spread from 1.140 to 1.180”? I’m using the Lee u die and Dillon crimp die. But thinking of switching back to the Lee crimp die on the 1100. I also use the mark 7. Could this be the issue?
Also seems to me it would be more of a seating problem. I thought the Redding die would yield better results? -
Thanks. I use the Lee u die. I have a Redding seating die and is seating properly. Not sure what else could it be.

Guys, going through a brain fart here. Had some FTF last week on a USPSA match shooting minor. First approach will be for me to change recoil spring and find out if it’s a battery issue. Major I am using a 10lb spring (10.3gr AA7). For minor I am using 6.4 hs6. With 10lb spring. Should I go up or down on recoil springs for my minor load?

This is the new Czechmate everyone is waiting for.
No. These are existing Czechmates found around the net.

Shadow 2 dirty extractor has similar symptoms one you fully rule out magazine issues.
Mine need a little scrub every 2500 or so rounds.
They get just dirty enough that the new round has a hard time pushing underneath.
Also check the breech face for any not smooth areas from the lowest point up.
Round isn't far enough up/in to blame oal, comp, or brass inconsistencies.
The pic was only an example cause I didn't find one to replicate mhy problem. But the round is stuck all the way up past the chamber.
2 hours ago, GeneBray said:Not certain COAL all different because of range brass. Assuming these are reloads, are you using using a progress press? What is your target COAL? Or average of say 10-20 rnds. Since you say all are different COAL do any feed correctly? If so what length? Longer or shorter of your target length?
Gene, yes I am using a Dillon 1100 with Mark 7. My target is 1.165" but since I use range brass, some come up at 1.82, 1.68, 1.72 or even 1.45. So the spread is wide coming out of the press. When I gauge them with the hundo, a bunch don't gauge properly, but when I test them with the plunk test they chamber and fall out by themselves. I know, go figure.

Hey all. Got a situation. Some of my rounds pass the fee ramp, but instead of chambering they keep going up and get stuck between the magazine and the upper part of the opening of the chamber. Something similar to the attached. Any thoughts? Not sure its the magazine as they have all been tuned. I am shooting 9 minor with 6.4gr HS6/ 115g CMJ everglades bullet/ 1.165" OAL/ 10lb recoil spring. Brass is range pickups so different COALs. Could it be the recoil spring? Or maybe the inconsistent OALs?

Yes. Just using the photo as an example to demonstrate the FTE

DQs are part of the game. As we learn we will make lots of mistakes. Hopefully not super negligent ones like flagging people or braking the 180 rule, but it happens. Ive had my share of DQs.

Tried both. nothing. Have also tried to change the file extensions but nothing
-
well, I'm uploading from an imac I always use. I had just created a post with pictures. All of sudden is telling me that I cannot upload to contact you for assistance. Weird. I would post the error message but won't let me lol
-
yes. they are all jpeg and reduced to an acceptable size.
-
I've been able to upload photos fine until today where it says "there is a problem uploading yous file" to contact you for assistance. Please help!!
-
Thanks. They were great help
-
Thanks. That’s what I did. Left the mount and scope be and removed the cage and trigger bar to give it a thorough clean and that’s it.

Trying to look for a detailed video or instructions on how to completely disassemble my Czechmate. I compete and the internal parts should be pretty caked. I do field strips every-time I shoot, but all I do is shoot gunscrubber down inside the sear and action, but I don't think it cleans it that well. Any suggestions?
-
RedDotsOnly,
Check out this thread.
-
how about if I remove the mount without removing the red dot scope from the mount. Will this also throw off zero?
-
I believe that if you at them from below, the U die is smaller.

Circular file!

For minor loads I like HS6 although it might be a bit dirty.
