    750 High primer ratio

    Your problem is that the CCI primers are slightly larger in diameter than other brands. They are still within tolerances, just larger.  Learned this long ago when I used to hand prime all my reloads.  The CCI were always harder to get in the pockets and almost impossible in Mil cases.  I use CCIs on some batches of brass when regular primers start going in a little too easy. I found CCI primers have just a bit more friction and lets me continue to use the brass.

     

    Since the 750 is manually primed by you pushing the handle on the return stroke you should feel the resistance and know if the primer is fully seated by the feel and distance of the return stoke. Been running a 650 since 1995 and I know the primers are seated fully by how far I push the handle forward on the return stoke and can feel when the primer seats in the bottom of the pocket.

    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. 

     

    9mm 124 grain Load Recommendation Minor PF

    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.

    If you only shoot one division i like them. But if you jump from say open to production, i thought it was a weird feeling going back and forth. I ditched them for that reason. just felt too weird to hold a gun without one when you get used to having something there to rest your thumb on.

    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 .

    PM me-i got rid of the entire parts, so i'll send them to ya.

    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 

    Need a new scale for pistol

    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 for the feedback I am not married to the SRO idea.  I have a RMR on a Glock and like the battery life and durability.  BTW what finish did you use on your gun, nice job BTW

     

    thanks, but Fire4 Effects did the milling and coating. 

    I will say it is the most interesting CZ in the DFW area LOL

    Im assuming you know the SRO comes in a 2.5 MOA as well?  

    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  

    750 High primer ratio

    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?
