    It is ok if you are in urgent need.  Much better prices from online sellers.  Usually $180-$225 for 1000 rounds.

    Cool, who has them for 180.

    Sometimes this kindle fire doubles prints everything I say

    1 of the absolutely awesome things about the smith and Wesson M&P2.0 metal Is the way that the red dot mounts to the slide.  it's almost like a custom Made Slide.

    Dillon Primer System with Winchester Primers

    So background here, I had this issue a few weeks ago loading 45ACP on my 550, and now last night on my 750.

     

    I am having primer feed issues only with Winchester primers.  Both LPP and now SRP.  Loading the primers the old school way with the primer pickup tubes, occasionally a primer will get stuck in the pickup tube while loading.  It's definitely a primer itself gets stuck somewhere in the tube and I have to push it to get it to go through the tube into the primer tube in the Dillon.  The same primers also cause issues periodically on the press when they refuse to drop through the plastic tip into the primer loading cup.  It creates a big mess when the powder drops into a case without a primer when this happens.  


    This is only happening with Winchester primers (LPP on my 550, and now SRP on my 750).  Same issue both times.  Never any issues in the same pickup tubes with CCI or Federal primers.  The issue starts when they get hung up in the pickup tubes initially.

     

    Is this a specific issue with Winchester primers?  I generally avoid them but have a couple K due to the shortages the last few years.

     

    Also - How do you clean a Dillon primer pickup tube?  A .22 jag or patch end is too big for the tube.  I can use it on the machine primer tube though.  I don't see anything in the primer pickup tube but want to run something through there to clean it in case there's something I can't see.

    It is not your machines, Winchester suck. But  they are better then no primers.

    Which Competition Glock Trigger?

    I got a, go to gear 3 1⁄2 lbs connector With a 5 lb spring.( 12.58 for pair shipped) It breaks clean consistently at 3 1⁄2 lbs and has a good reset. I don't believe I would want it any lighter.  So what am I missing here? Thx USMC

    Perfect Glocks.

    I was able to make my generation 5 Glock 19's actually handle and feel like a Glock 17. I modified the grip, and the beavertail. I wanted the beavertail, but I didn't want to added girth. so I cut and paste and sand, paint. it came out nice I think I truly have the perfect Glocks now.

    WOW this is all news to me, what exactly does non-toxic even mean. I miss the days when all the brass 45, 9's and 40's just used the appropriate primers. Thanks for filling me in.

    Glock Hydraulic Guide Rod and Spring

    in Glock

    Posted

    I tried a hydraulic buffer in my AR-15 and I didn't like it.  it was hard to pull it all the way back and it slammed the bolt home pretty hard. I had to replace my extractor and spring. So I went back to a regular buffer spring and buffer for a carbine. But that's just me
