I have an old rcbs bullet seating die that only has the insert for flat point bullets,I’m loading round point bullets. I’m wondering if anyone has the round point insert laying around.It seems to be half inch diameter as the lock nut takes a three quarter inch wrench. Check your junk drawer and let me know if you have one. Otherwise I’ll get a new Redding seater.

I looked at a Dan Wesson pm9. Compared to my sti Trojans the slide felt like pot metal sliding over sand, the trigger as not to my liking,but that’s just my opinion.

What are you loading for the 45 with 700x I’m loading 230 grain round nose for single stack major and I’m running out of clays

I understand 700x is a problem getting uniform loads, but I’ve bought a load of it when a store sold out. I have a aquarium air pump to put on my powder measure, it has to go somewhere either in 45 apc or here I don’t know if it will work for 40

My powder selection is 700x, silhouette, tite group, nitro 100, auto comp, power pistol ,clays and bullseye. As far as bullets go I can make from 115 to 147 grain coated bullets.

I’m getting a 9mm 1911, I’ve been shooting 45acp, was curious what you are loading for 9 minor I’ll be using 2 alpha coated bullets haven’t decided what grain. Looking for opinions.

Has anyone ever had any success in training a helper to properly case gauge ammo. If so how, she seems reluctant.

It’s back.

So I’ve de-caped a draft of them, ran my Lyman hand reamer in them and it seemed to fit in the pocket. The press is working better now for no reason. Me thinks there was an old primer stuck somewhere I couldn’t find because the problem started suddenly and stopped suddenly without any intervention from me that mattered. I’ve got level 2 matches the next 2 weekends so I hope the thing is over it. Thanks for all the ideas.

It is mixed brass, WCC, RP and Winchester 45 auto are giving me the most fits. I don’t have a swags gauge but my large swagger fits in the pocket easily. Some brass primes easily and I can feel the primer land others it’s like I’m forcing it. I fired about 150 of these in practice this morning and all rounds fed and fired without incident, so they are tight.

I’m loading 45 acp on my Dillon 650 with large pistol primers and things where great, then suddenly I am getting 20 percent proud primers. I have been through the manual, my shell plate is stable when I push the handle ahead the punch is high enough to seat a primer properly without a load on it. When I’m loading brass that does not seat easily they are proud,the proud primers have a dent from the punch, any ideas are appreciated. I’ve loaded a bunch of this, I can’t figure out what has changed,Dillon guy says maybe a cracked crank. I’ve laid on it and can’t see a crack.

What weight spring are you using in your .45s?

I’m starting to load rifle cartridges and am wondering what experience people have had with this tool. Is it accurate and easy to keep calibrated? I will be loading common rifle rounds 223 to 300 win mag

Got a new rifle no ammo for it I’ve got some Imr 4451 powder does anyone have experience with this powder in this cartridge?

I put the double tap safeties on my trojan and it quit eating my strong hard thumb. Before that my thumb was bleeding after 2 stages.I would highly recommend them, the quality of the part seems good. I’ve had them on for about a month and have no issues with them.

Thanks, makes sense

How well does this work for 45 acp 230 grain coated round nose

A little off topic but are match savers gauge specific I bought one and a 12 gauge shell would not go in but a 20 gauge shell was perfect. Called the place I bought it from which I’ve had many great experiences and I still buy from said they only make one size.

How do you get tec-lock to close on the daa belt? I have had no success and am looking for options for my 3 gun rig. I like it so I can add or subtract gear from my belt depending on the stage.

I put the double taps on they are amazing. You don’t even notice they are there except no blood on everything. Highly recommend

I should have a set of Ambi double tap safety’s tomorrow. I am getting them fitted Saturday, that should fix it. And no they are not cheap 130 bucks, but the slide is like a shark. I’m still thinking about the tech well grips to keep the grip close to my limited gun.

My trojan with factory grips is eating my strong thumb with the slide. Has anyone tried any different grips to help, at the end of a match my gun has blood all over it. In my grip my thumb is on top of the safety just like my executive and I have no problems with it.

So if I have a Dawson ice magwell will it fit together

Switching from 2011 limited to shooting 1911 single stack. This grip is supposed to emulate the size of the 2011 has anyone tried these? They cost a hundred bucks like everything else.

Has anyone used these powders in 9,40 or 45 successfully? What experience did you have, was the recoil noticeable? Did you have trouble making power factor?
