I just got more into this. I'm in the middle of welding up a custom camper model with a liner aluminum barrel that I made. The trigger has zero pre-travel and the grips are machined aluminum with 25lpi checkering. Pull is 2lbs and it's have a machined weaver mount with a five port aluminum comp.

I haven’t had any problems with flat base bullets feeding in my automatic feeder. They do work pretty well in bullet feeders. If your flat base is on a really heavy bullet and you’re not using the right feed tube or conveyance - you will have a problem with them not feeding. It’s a misconception based on thoughts but not experience. I shoot several thousand of the J-Ames pistol bullets about every three weeks . I got nothing but time and I’m retired. I have spent several thousand dollars on coated bullets from now eight different popular coated bullet companies before trying J-Ames Bullets. The J-Ames Bullets are the best damn polymer coated bullets on the planet! Their coating and bullet consistency is unbeatable, and now I won’t ever buy anything else. Most people don't actually know what a "flat base" bullet is. They couldn't tell a flat base bullet from a gumball. You can easily see their knowledge of bullets from what they write. *Bayou sells NO flat base bullets ———— *Acme sells NO flat base bullets ———— *Blue sells NO flat base bullets ———— *Egssletons sells NO flat base bullets ———— *J-Ames sells (10) flat base bullets. ———— *Precision sells NO flat base bullets ———— *SNS sells NO flat base bullets ———— *BBI sells one flat base bullet. The rest have a small or large bevel base. PB’s all have a radius rounded base. The PB bullets have that radius/bevel base because it’s swage formed into the bullet from hydraulic machines and dies. Flat base bullets are usually more accurate and actually easier to load by hand in a progressive press. FACT: The two reasons why cast lead bullets were originally (and still made) with beveled bases has NOTHING to do with reloading. That beveled base was put there for the ease of manufacturing. So that bullet manufacturers could easily get them to collate in their sizing machines at high speed. It was also put there, because lead alloys don’t fill out a sharp edged flat base in a mold at high speed very well without rejects. That bevel in the mold helps bullet makers cast massive quantities of bullets, faster, with less reject percentages. Consumers mistakenly think that bevel was put there for easier reloading purposes. It is NOT. Unfortunately, a huge bevel on a commonly found cast lead bullet is not great for the best possible accuracy and gas cutting, especially if it has a junk painted or hi-ghly crap-tek coating on it. Gas cutting is exacerbated when a large bevel base bullet combined with a junk coating is used. And that’s also why every single super accurate Bullseye shooter I’ve ever known uses flat based bullets. That’s all I’ve ever used when I cast my own. I would never buy a bullet mold with a bevel base machined into it. I did notice the J-Ames bullets that have a bevel base only have a very minimal tiny one like .025 or so. It’s much smaller than the ones I’ve bought from six of the popular companies. But since I get spectacular X-Ring accuracy with them and no leading, I don’t have any problem with it.

That's either fouling in the cylinders, bulged brass casings, your bullet diameter is too large or your case mouths are not crimped enough

I caught 37 frags while flying fighter jets. There was so much frag explosions flying around it seemed like someone was trying really hard to kill me Lol. One was a 10 inch long twisted jagged piece of aluminum from my plane that cork screwed through my leg but I flew and landed that plane on a carrier deck while bleeding out real good. You're the lucky one it happened on land with people that had cell phones to help you.

I'm tryna figure out where it was I saw those new stainless steel Glock mags with witness holes. They were high quality looking with machines aluminum base pads and I haven't seen steel mags for Glocks ever. Those see through plastic ones are junk compared to OEM ones but I prefer steel ones I'll give you a tip.....don't uses a loaded full 30 round mag lol in a PCC firearm in a speed shooting event where theres only 7 or less targets cause it's a detriment to fast shooting. I see so many people doing that just because they're too lazy to reload mags.

Ha Ha those little colored flakes in there are law enforcement CSI tracers. The powder companies have been adding those to trace those components back to their makers.

Buy jamesbullets.com and don't look back. They're the only bullets I use now. I'm currently shooting 4,500 - 5,500 pistol rounds every 4 weeks or so. And another 300 - 700 rifle rounds in that same time. I just got an email discount code for the first time from them for 4.5% off an already low price for a far superior product. The code I got isn't transferrable.. Every time I win a match with those bullets, that company gets at least 1 to 3 new customers right there,

Have your machinist drill holes in the tubes

Probably

I'm sure you would prefer reading useful accurate data that was done competently and correctly so as to improve your reloading skillset and overall knowledge of ammunition manufacturing and shooting alike. I don't "like" useless data. That would clearly go against the intent of this thread. I don't know who you are, nor was I referring to you or any post you've ever made here. My "quote" was one that I just made up, but is similar to ones I'm regularly reading here. I made that very clear in my original thread post.

You didn't say whether the hammer was down or whether the safety was engaged while in the holster.

Do elaborate on that comment. There's no problem with what I posted.

It's erroneous if your comparison is between an apple and a orange.

People who post accurate data done properly that unwitting newbies here will read from are the ones that chemically clean their barrels between shots.

That's EXACTLY the problem. Those people posting that junk are posting ERRONEOUS inaccurate garbage that newbies here will read and think is proper. It's NOT.
