Ben's crazy. The only way to keep an open gun running is with a healthy stock of fresh springs. Mine get changed before every match, and after every 3 stages if it's a major. I buy them by the case.

I scrapped the idea, but thanks for the feedback. Too close for comfort for me

I know this topic is a bit old, but I'm looking at one of the Lipsey Custom Operators in 9mm and wanted to get some confirmation on this before I pick up the gun. I may or may not shoot it in USPSA, but I always like the option.

I got my first one in today. I have to say its impressive how rigid, smooth, and quality it is. I'll be a customer next time I need something for sure, very well built.

Where'd you get it? Didn't see it on their website?

Are there more options for mounts?

I have some. Haven't played with it. But really, those three powders are the most versatile. I'm fine not re-inventing the wheel.

The u die helps a good bit. I often get ones that fail the gauge slightly but I have plunk tested and shot enough of them to know which to toss and which to keep. I accept ammo that I can push flush into the gauge with a little force that then passes on subsequent tests, and ammo that sticks out of the gauge by about rim thickness. Ammo that hard stops and won't go at all gets tossed, everything else goes to the practice bin

3n38, AA7 or HS6 should really only be the three powders we're talking about with this topic anymore. With the bullet started, 9.8ish grains of AA7 should be good to go

I watched one have nothing but issues last week. Not usually one to rain on someone's idea, but you get what you pay for. You'll never go wrong with CK. Their warranty and customer service are great. As a matter of fact, just buy American and you should be in good hands. It may look the same on the outside, but what goes into it isn't.

Was just having a ton of trouble with my hornady powder dispenser, so I came here looking for answers. Looking for an opinion on something that won't break the bank, but be consistent. Powder dispenser (Lyman gen 6, or Chargemaster), or a powder throw and a scale? For someone not crazy into precision rifle but wants good results, what's the best move? Loading 308 with varget, and 300blk with H110/CFE BLK if it matters.

What's the difference in these two? Can I buy the 223 conversion kit and a separate powder funnel for the 300BLK? Do I even need a separate powder funnel for the 300BLK?

Simple, and it works.

Sure. Sounds good

Find a local guy to use a 5% off code or I think BENOS is a coupon code too on their website. Maybe I was a few bucks off on $220, more like $230

CK, all day over STI

And again, not a gun problem, an ammo issue. Light load maybe? Mine has done that with powder puff loads I was just burning up for fun. For the record my CK runs like a champ. I've had issues, but due to my mount getting in the way of some weirdly ejected brass. Take care of them, spend some time with them, and they will be just fine.

CR Speed. Simple and it works.

I haven't to date noticed any leading issues. I shoot blues because they're NC local, they're affordable, and accurate enough. $220/3600 isn't too hard on the wallet

AA#7. 9.3 gr behind a 125 blue. 170ish with three holes out of a 5" CK

All I shoot are blues. 125 comes. No problems and plenty accurate. 5" gun in 9mm with three holes. I do run a full back mount, so I can't comment on the stuff on the lens.

Anyone happen to know the thread size for the case feeder slide retaining pin?

What's the withdrawal policy for refunds? When's the cut off for 100%?

Ughhh ?
