Are you running coated lead or jacket bullets I have some 95gr r/n coated bullets on order to try out. I’m shooting 115 s right now with 3.4 grs of aa#2 with very good results just like to experiment lol.

I’ve had good luck with w-231,red dot and sport pistol with 200 gr swc.and 225 gr flat point acme’s.

I do the same as you ,I have used .380 with no problem but .379 is what I usually do for coated bullets.

Please let us know how it works for you. I’m very interested also I have about a three and half pound trigger with the spring kit installed but would like to get the reset and over travel taken care of. 80 bucks is not bad if It’s a good trigger.

I would crab the the tool head and move it from side to side to see if there is any movement between the shaft and shaft body-fram,those two parts are the most expensive. The rest of the parts can be replaced. You will find a lot of movement in the handle I would doubt there would be much wear on the handle shaft and bearings those parts are sloppy by design.

I just weighed my ruger stock and forearm, it came out to be 33oz on my old mechanical scales which could be off a ounce or two. It looks like the Magpul stock could be a good wt reducer. That’s right at 3/4 of a pound less. That would put my Ruger at 6 lbs.

I'm with you the trigger has a long reset,if I am shooting my 2011 and start shooting my ruger I get messed up with the reset it needs fixing. I tried one of the after market triggers and it helped with the over travel but the reset is what gives me more of a problem. I don't know if I want to spend two hundred bucks to fix it.

I started loading 9mm about twenty years ago seating and crimping with the same die never had any problems accuracy was good using jacketed bullets never used lead seat and crimp with one die. I have been using seat and crimp with separate dies for the last tens years ,if I was using jacket bullets only I wouldn't hesitate on using the seat and crimp die.

Just hung mine off the wall very ridged.

You lucky dog.

I really like mine it's very accurate and reliable I would like more info on the spacer for the trigger over travel.

Yes I have used about fifteen pounds of sport pistol and it does leave a fine dust on my press but I have not noticed any dust past my press on anything else. I got some aa#2 and its just as accurate and it does not leave any dust on the press.

Thanks for this information very informative I always thought some the things you talked about had and influence on the numbers. I thought it was probably insignificant but you have shed some light on the subject.

Not the same bullet but I use 147 r/n brazos at 1.115 in shadow 2 .

I have never had a upside down primer in my 1050 yet hope it don’t start lol. But I load my tubes by hand. A couple things I do different is I put a 45acp case on my assist rod and I never tighten the knurled nut just slightly snug.

What you got is normal pick a different powder with the same basic load and you may have the opposite of what you got. Lol

I tumble clean in corn cob or walnut with any auto wax, before sizing I use lanolin and alcohol spray I put my rifle cases in fifty round tray and spray on a 45 degree angle so that I get lube inside the neck this really helps your case neck when coming over the expander ball. I have a concentricity gage that I have used on my sized brass and this is the best method that I have found to keep the necks straight. After sizing I trim and work my primer pockets then tumble with corn/walnut for about thirty mins before loading.

Looks nice Memphis.Thinking about doing a wall mount for mine but it rarely messes up.

It’s normal your can improve it if you want to sort your brass to the same head stamp but it’s just not going to make a big difference unless you are trying to shoot bullseye.

I’ve been playing with AA 7 in my open gun a couple months backs. I just ran some loads over my chronograph last week, some of the loads I ran over the chrono was with power pistol Thur my Ruger Pcc with a 16” barrel. These was some old stuff that I had was just curious what they would do Thur the rifle. The rifle seems to be running 150-200 FPS faster then my pistol. 124 gr jhp P.D. 1.135 oal 5.4 grs power Pistol 1256 FPS. 124 gr r/n 1.15 oal. 6.0 grs power Pistol 1379 FPS.

AA#7 is a good one for for you wanting ,the eight grain load is a +p load at the oal your loading at. The 7.5 grain load should be giving you the velocity you wanting pending the barrel length. The pcc’s will be giving you 1300-1400 with your 7.5 gr load. Power pistol is also a good powder for high vel.

I measure every bullet while setting my die, once set I may check one about every 100 rods. Plus or minus .005 is good enough for me.

I had a clamp on light that was not being used so attached it to the primer tube bracket. Maybe not as nice but it works fine lol.

I just loaded about three hundred on my 1050 zero malfunctions love my 1050. I was having a screw up about every two-three hundred rounds. Hadn’t cleaned my machine in a year so I done that a couple days ago and that has solved the screw up issue lol.

Yeah I tired it a couple days ago and it’s dead.
