750 High primer ratio
Truckin_Thumper replied to Truckin_Thumper's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
Long time for a response, but you are correct. Using CCI, it is pretty bad like the pic above. Federal is about 1 out of 100 that are not seated properly I have not used enough Winchester to figure it out, but I just found 5K of them to give a go. -
the 11lb in a 75 series is a great all around spring. I run a 10 but I only run light loads. JMHO

9mm 124 grain Load Recommendation Minor PF
Truckin_Thumper replied to jarhead1104's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
kind of a loaded (no pun intended) question. 124 gr bullet in CO should be a close to 125 as possible, in my opinion Which means it should be about 1025 FPS OAL and powder type is a big variable. In my CZs, I run them at 1.11 OAL and about 4.0 gr of Titegroup. I like the 147gr bullets better as they require less powder (3.1) same OAL. -
A Nitro Fin (CZ 75) can be used in production. Take a mm off the edge and it will fit in the box. OR, slim the right side of the safety and it will fit in the box. I Run them on my CO guns .

Truckin_Thumper replied to Truckin_Thumper's topic in Rifle - Technical
Great stuff! Thanks! I dont care that it will cost me $2K.....I have no wife, no kids, so I get to spend my money on toys and I dont have to share! I will have fun building this and dont care if it takes two months. -
thanks! Will it have any issues without the bolt catch? All my AR experience tells me NO if it runs with out it and no issues, then I will just forget it...LOL
-

....a lower that is skeltonized ( or highly unusual) lower with heavily flared magwell and a matching upper. Spikes is pretty much unique, but no flared out magwell. Figured you folks could cut my google-fu in half.

I have had very good luck with all things Dillon. try other stuff, then buy Dillon. This was not exception......new Dillon scale inbound from DAA

Hey all, I am hunting recommendations for checking powder when loading for pistol. A beam scale may be over kill, but not opposed to that route. Bench space is a bit tight, so I was thinking a med sized digital I could stow when not using. Budget is about $150 or so and those $700 ones are out of the question. I dont do precision rifle...LOL
-
thanks, but Fire4 Effects did the milling and coating. I will say it is the most interesting CZ in the DFW area LOL

I do. While I do like my SRO, and I have 3 of them, I am not convinced they are any better than a Holosun. One out of the 3 SROs I have is getting shipped back. The other 2 work pretty good. I also have 3 or so 407Cs. All 2 MOA. One is on the back up CO gun. So two identical pistols. Also on some other gaming long guns. No one can convince me why should I not buy or recommend the Holosun. I think they are on par with each other. Holosun wins hands down just on cost. I can buy 2 407 for less than a single SRO. So, I may never buy another Trijicon product again. These SROs were the first and may just be the last. Not bashing them, but at those prices, its just too much when your competitor has something equal or better for 1/2 the cost. Thats just my opinion, which may not count for much, but it is what it is....LOL
-
its all good. I have a backup S1 that has the 407C and I tend to shoot a bit more accurate. The pistols are damn near identical so the only thing I can think of is the dot makes the difference
-
I think the crisper, smaller dot tends to settle me down a bit more than the larger 5 MOA. Thats the only reason.....so we will call it "mental" reasons.
-
Only thing I would change......SRO would get replaced with a Holosun 407 2 MOA. For now, the SRO will stay put.

750 High primer ratio
Truckin_Thumper replied to Truckin_Thumper's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I dont swag, I just chuck em in the trash when I run across them. I ran another 100 federal..... guess how may high primers. One, WMA brass, which I know is crimped. WTF is wrong with CCI? This aint the first time I have run into issue with them. -
750 High primer ratio
Truckin_Thumper replied to Truckin_Thumper's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I may have jumped the gun on this..... no pun intended Out of curiosity, I grabbed some Federal primers (have been using nothing but CCI since getting the 750) and guess what. 3 high primers and all were WCC brass. I will run another 100 to see if it is the case...again no pun intended. I am willing to bet its the F'n primers! -
This is totally unacceptable. I have played with the plate, done every thing I can and this is the the average high primer ratio. I am getting really pissed off at having to do this many out of 100 rounds. My 650 was 1 or 2 out of 100, which I chalk up to mixed brass range pickups. Anyone having this issue too?
