Used my Vudoo Priest in its first match this weekend. Ran flawlessly using my own reloads. If I had the cash right now, I would order another right now. Serious, I own CZ's, MPA, Tanfoglio, and an SVI, and I have never had this much fun shooting a gun before.

Stock, I put my order in October 2023.

Just received mine and am very impressed. The fit, finish, and feel of it is awesome. I have not shot it yet, but will sometime next week.

IMO, I would say that is just normal wear.

Good Afternoon. I hear people talk about confirming your dry fire in live fire. Can someone please provide me an example? I mean, lets say I do a draw to first shot in 1 second in dry fire, am I looking to do this in 1 second live fire also? Lets say my starting position is 5 yards away from a barrier. I run to the position, have my gun up before and staring at the target through the barrier, as soon as I am around the barrier you want to shoot asap. Lets say dry fire for this drill is 3 seconds, am I looking to verify in live fire by doing it in 3 seconds? Thank you

Good Evening, I have a Shadow 2 Optics Ready I bought in 2021. Is there a plate that will fit the Optics Ready version to use an Sig Romeo XL? I know CZC has a proprietary cut for the slides, but says it is not for the optic ready factory cut. So, any advice? I have read the Sig Romeo 3xl has the same footprint as a CMORE. Would that plate work?

Shred, What are your thoughts of the shiny ring on the mouth of the brass?

My Power Factor on my 650 was about 172-176 at the matches that had a chrono. I am using Blue Bullets 180 grain. There is a slight indent on the bullet at the crimp, but is exposing no lead. Here is a photo of the indent.

Just got my Apex 10 all set up and am using the Lyman Pro Die pack. in the picture shared, it shows a shiny ring just around the mouth of the case. On my 650, I was using a Lee Carbide Factory Crimp Dir. On my Apex, I’m using the Lyman Micrometer Crimp die. I never seen this ring using the Lee crimp die. I test fired a few rounds and had a power factor of 176, and everything is case gauging decent for mixed range brass. I worry if I take crimp off, I’ll have gauging issues. Is this too much crimp? With the brass rubbing off, if that is what it is, is it safe to reload after I shoot these? Thank you.

@Akkid17, what is the concept of how they want to make the guns? I want to get an LO gun. But is between the Vudoo and an MPA. I have an MPA and it is great and have read great things about the Vudoo.

Good Afternoon, I recently installed a Mr. Bullet Feeder and the powder funnel they send with it. However, when pulling the bullets to check if everything is working properly, I noticed that part of the coating is rubbing off. it’s only rubbing off in one spot. In the picture below are examples. Sometimes it is bigger, sometime smaller. I called DAA, I was told, try just a little more flare. Would that be the next step? Goat

Good Evening, When I first started reloading, I had my Dillon 650 reload to a length of 1.18.” However, after double checking everything, the average of 10 rounds, came out to 1.175.” So my question today is, do dies over time just move ever so slightly, and, what is the variance on length that is acceptable if I am wanting 1.18?” Thank you.

Thank you for the advice and help. I just received an email back from Blue Bullets.

Ok. So is the Lee Undersize die a full length sizer? Sorry if it’s obvious, but I don’t know.

After some searching, some say to che k for accuracy. With pistol reloads, what’s a good way to check for groupings? I normally just went and shot.
