I would agree with the statement about the mobile app. The G2 was vastly superior. The Labradar mobile app sucks compared to the G2 Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I would disagree on the G2 recommendation over the Labradar. I've owned both. Wound up selling the G2 and exclusively use the Labradar now. Ambient lighting DOES effect the G2 and it became very evident to me when doing load development for precision rifle. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I bought the M die. Thanks for the recommendations guy. Rt1500 is the route I'm gonna go Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

That's the info I'm looking for. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Does anybody know if a .40 slide and barrel and mags are all that's needed? Will .40 mags fit in the X5 9mm grip? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I'm talking about no lube only during the loading process when the neck gets expanded slightly. Cases would be lubed during the decap / trim / full length size tool head. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. @12glocks the dillon resizing die in station 1 during reloading unscrewed 2 turns works well without lube? Really appreciate the helpful information here. Looks like I should go this route or M die. Dillon FL die unscrewed would also help verify the flash hole was clear no? Thanks again. Andrew Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Thanks man. So you don't chamfer the mouth and you have no issues shaving bullets right? I am leaning the rt1500 route as it takes a lot of steps out of the process Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Loading .223 for 3 gun and various shooting. Hand trimmed 1200 cases and wet tumbled with pins and then chamfered the mouth. I hated every minute of it. I am considering either a rt 1500 mounted on the brass prep head of my 650, or the giraud trimmer. Will the dillon trimmer produce a clean enough cut (after tumbling) to load without chamfering? Anybody got pics of a dillon trimmed and tumbled case mouth vs the giraud? Anybody got both and want to provide their take? Much appreciated. Andrew Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Well this thread made me try another batch without pins..and another batch...and another batch. I guess I'm converted now. I'll be using 9mm of lemishine a squirt of Dawn and 1hr 45min on the tumbler. I agree with the above statement. 90% as clean as with pins. I can take that for pistol brass and it is less work.

Hoping to see this myself. Tried a friends DVC Limited with Island barrel today for Major scoring and had nothing but feed problems every stage but one. If we dont see a x5 .40 kit soon I'm probably just going to buy a full size slide and barrel and some mags and extensions. I wonder if the problems stem from the factory untuned STI mags but I'm not very familiar with the 2011 platform. Owner said they need cleaned every single match or he has problems. If that's the case it's not the platform for me. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I have the FART and the FA media separator with lid. I drain most water off, dump brass into the seperator, spin for a minute, drain water, rinse, spin another 30 sec or so, then dump the brass on a towel, and drain the seperator with pins into a bucket with paint strainer. Pull the strainer out with the pins, rinse pins, and store in the strainer till next batch. Any pins that fell to the ground get picked up with the FA magnet. There's rinsing thrown in there as needed. Process really doesn't take long at all and I never got results I was happy with when not using pins. Only exception is I run .223 bras 2x. Once quickly with no pins before decap, size, trim, etc and then a final time with pins. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Haha. I'm new around here but I've seen some of those threads. Luckily my bank account won't allow me to make those decisions [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I know what you're getting at, but I have been wanting to try a thumb rest for a while and didn't know there was one out there for the X5. Since I use my X5 for all my shooting and don't have several different multi-thousand dollar guns I can afford to spend $60 on my pistol and play around with it as I see fit.

No...but I just ordered one to try. Thanks for showing Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Man I like this thing. I've only been reloading for about 7 months now but have loaded over 12k pistol rounds through the 650. As I expand my abilities I'm finding I will start using more and more bench space for tools. Not wanting to turn my bench into swiss cheese and wanting to be able to use the same spot for multiple things I found this. Really really happy with it. 2 thumb screws and the tool comes up, slap whatever else you want in its place. Base stays bolted to the bench. Neat idea and lll be buying more stuff from them.

It's not the ammo. I've tried lots of different ammo several of which are hot like Nitros etc all of which runs fine in 2 other 930s. The issue happenes even just loading the gun / releasing the bolt. I've tried an entire different barrel /gas system off a working 930 and same problem. It's going back to Mossberg. Already called them just need to do the paperwork and send it in. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Weird. I have probably 1500 rounds on my 10 lbs spring and haven't had a single malfunction. Ammo is really soft. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

10 lbs in mine using 127-128 pf 147g loads (N310) Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I'm using a 10 lbs spring with my 128-129 PF 147g ammo. I tried a 10, 12, and 14 and settled on the 10 but I didn't do much scientific studying. No optic on my gun. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

It's not the chamber. Swapped the entire barrel / chamber with another known good 930 and same problems. Wont always go into battery. Happens both during live fire, and just simply releasing the bolt to load the gun. I've ran like 300 rounds of all kinds of ammo through it 90% of which was higher velocity stuff like Remington Nitros or AA 1300s. I really need to call Mossberg and see what they say.

Looking forward to seeing your review. I now have 400 38super BBIs to pull..... Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

So....went to take the wife to try a few different pistols for feel and apparently Cabelas has implemented a new policy? All handguns have trigger locks and they will not remove them to allow you to feel the gun. So no trigger feeling, no dry firing, no length of pull, comfortability feeling etc. I said "seriously?" And I could tell the employees were not happy about it either but couldn't do anything. I politely thanked him for his time but said I would never even consider buying a pistol without feeling the gun without a lock blocking the entire trigger guard. Do they really expect to be able to sell pistols like this? I expect their handgun sales to hurt. The reasoning was supposedly somebody somewhere at a Cabelas brought a bullet in, and shot themselves. If the reasoning is people bringing in ammo idk why they don't have it on all guns. A person could easily conceal a loaded AR mag. Oh well rant over. I won't be buying any pistols from Cabelas with this policy in place. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Hi, I purchased a new old stock 930 and I have been having a lot of feeding issues with it. Simply inserting a shell and releasing the bolt will cause the shell the hang up on the bottom of the chamber halfway in and not go into battery. This happens more than 50% of the time. When shooting the gun this happens also even with 1350 fps Winchester ammo. It seems to happen even worse as the chamber gets hot. For instance I can take a cold gun, fire 3 shots and it may cycle fine. However if I run another 3 quickly or run a whole tube (13) through the gun by shot 5-6 I have to shove the bolt forward every single shot to get the shell in the chamber. Gun has been cleaned and lubed. It has about 100 rounds through it. Should I call Mossberg? Does the chamber need throated? Any advice greatly appreciated. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
