I haven’t had any issues so far using SRP for 9mms.

Welcome to the site!

Definitely useful! Thank you!

Work on healing the right elbow. You don’t need to re-train using your left side to build muscle memory and coordination. You’ll spend more time and money developing that skill rather than working on the right elbow tendinitis. Start strengthening and stretching the muscles (if range is limited) that attach to the lateral side of the elbow when inflammation subsides. There are a lot of articles on the internet.

Thank god for you tube! It’s easier to set up and follow instructions on how to trouble shoot if you are actually watching how to fix any hiccups when reloading. It’s fast, convenient, and practical.

Apply for a CC that offers interest free for at least 18 mos. Then, work extra hours to cover payment before term ends.

I recently sold my RL550 on eBay at a good price.

Thank you for all the info in this thread. I have an old chrono which uses a card board with a small hole to shoot through that I am using for pistol round and occasional airsoft for my son. It reads pretty accurately but the card board has seen better days. I might try my hands on the labradar. Time to start saving.

About 26 cents per round of 9mm 147gr.

This site has primers. Steep price but that’s the going price now a days. https://www.targetsportsusa.com/in-stock-primers-for-sale-c-2806.aspx In the end, you’ll end up saving a lot when you do your own reload.

About a year ago I found an unsealed 12 lb keg of 700-X in original old looking can that has surface rust. I believe it is more than 30 yrs old. I tested and chronoed it and fortunately I was getting consistent reading.. I found the attached article useful when buying old powder. https://www.rifleshootermag.com/editorial/how-to-determine-gunpowder-shelf-life/83922

This online store has SPP, LPP, and SRP. https://www.targetsportsusa.com/in-stock-primers-for-sale-c-2806.aspx

An old sewing machine frame might be sturdy enough if space is limited.

I have finally gotten the chance to try and take the screws off last night. It’s been busy the past couple of weeks. First thing I realized, the screws are actually torx plus and not the regular torx screw. It came off easily after applying torch heat. I tried soldering iron at first but it didn’t work. Thank you for all your responses.

I’ve re-checked the screws and it’s definitely a Torx type. Looks like the scope mount had been previously replaced. Thank you for all the replies. I ordered a new set of torx screws with screw wrench last Friday from Shootesconnection. If it doesn’t work, I’ll try the impact wrench.
