I thought that treatment was only a couple thousand deep?

How is the muzzlebrake attached? Threaded, then pinned and welded or ??? If it's threaded 1/2-28, they may have pinched the barrel when they tightened the brake before pinning and welding.

Yeah I was kinda thinking maybe the brake got over tighten and stretched the metal just enough to make a circular low spot which is causing the leading.

I’m like every body else w-296 is it for hunting loads and I have used a bunch of w-231 with 240 gr. swc at around 8.5 grs for very mild loads . Started using power pistol for in between loads and it’s been a really good fit very accurate.
-
My Ruger is shooting much better but it may be the loads that’s the difference. If you could get some good quality jhp’s to Try out . I’ve shot 115 and 124 delta precision bullets and got good groups with those.
-
I’ve had good luck running.356 bullets in all my 9mm, .355 had more flyers when shooting groups during load development so l didn’t get anymore of them.

I’ve been Thur about 20 lbs of sport pistol over the last couple of years and I really liked it with the exception of it being a little dirty burning imo. So I decided to try aa#2 and I ended up liking it more then sport pistol. Accuracy was the same and it was a lot cleaner ,the only negative is it makes a little bit of the corn meal looking stuff but its very minor.

I gotcha I haven’t got into mass production of rifle ammo yet I got some used stuff tool head; dies-for my 1050 to start just done it yet.

Not trying to be a smart mouth but I don’t understand what a m die is for, started loading in the late seventies and all I’ve use is a sizing and seating die. I got a a bolt gun that shoots 1/4 inch groups. I would get ride of the m die unless maybe you are using it for lead bullets. Just size and use a chanfer tool before seating your bullet.

I use a regular set of lee dies with a tapered crimp die on a 1050. I have zero issues using my rounds in my 2011 Kkm barrels.

147 gr coated your choice over 3.2-3.3 grs of sport Pistol, aa#2, w-231.
-
I’ve had good results with 4.4 grs of sport Pistol / aa#2 with 124 gr delta p. out of my open gun for steel challenge .

Is it possible that you used a piece of brass that was in a 170 power factor load a few times and was on its last leg lol.

Is this a bad thing? What's the consequence of having my coated bullets swaged down to the size of jacketed bullets?
Yes generally lead bullets are one thousand larger in dia. Then a jacket bullets. When you use a lee factory crimp die with lead bullets it’s going the swage it one thousand smaller then it’s supposed to be.

I dry tumble, load, then shoot.
After 40 years, so far so good.
That sounds to easy lol

Don’t get the Lee factory crimp die just get a Hornady or lee taper crimp die. The lee fcd will swage you lead bullets down to the size of jacketed bullets.

For my Ruger pcc I’m using a .357 dia. 95 gr r/n brazos 1.025 oal over 3.4 grs of aa#2 . This load is the softest and flattest load that I have run thur my Ruger Pcc. These are for steel Challenge power factor?

Looks great. Can't wait to add a faster press to compliment my 550.
I loaded on a 550 for over twenty years and I got a nice used 1050 a couple years ago and it’s really been worth it. It has put the fun back into loading.
-
Dirt how is the bullet seating with the alpha ,is the bullets setting on the case straight? If it stops the popping and the bullets are fitting the case good I will be wanting one .
-
I load sitting my loading table is 26” high and I use a adjustable chair. I can see right into the case for powder verification.
-
Yeah I don’t clean pistol primer pockets either only rifle which I use a cutter and drill motor that uniforms the depth while cutting it, leaves it looking new. I clean my brass with a Lyman vibratory using corn cob /walnut.
-
I have a 1050 and a 550 and the 1050 is easier, using case lube really helps also.
-
I used a 1/4” aluminum plate just to stiffen up my mount, my table top is about 26.5” tall I use and adjustable stool to load while sitting.
-
I’m wanting to try them for steel Challenge no power factor needed,my thinking is they may give a little less recoil/dot movement only way to find out is to try a few.

After trying a handful of 100 grainers at a match yesterday, I went ahead and ordered a couple thousand 95 grainers to play with. The ones I tried had a really nice feel so I’m hopeful I can get a similar result.
Teed off what kind of bullets and where are you buying your bullets?
