Older and I like green, especially if low sun, first stages of the day. I use green fiber in my iron sights and green in my "red" dot.
Thank you Holosun
I have used double ended but went back to hollow base because of slightly better accuracy. Never heard of the skirt/barrel bulge problem. Maybe a squib not a bullet problem???
Only if it fails calibration and only poppers are subject to calibration 4.3.1.5. I'm not a M or GM shooter and just enjoy the competition.so happy to shoot a clean stage.
That is where mine hit, I used a small needle file to remove some material from the magwell.
Made a groove for the plunger that releases the base for cleaning.
Also scraping the coating when seating the bullets can produce smoke, double check the expansion die setting to make sure. You usually need more than with plated or jacketed.
Sorry for your problems, they sound MUCH worse than mine.
The lack of a comprehensive parts diagram is crippling IMHO. With my Hornady LnL I can give a description from the parts diagram AND the part number, then they know exactly what I need.
