Yes, That was part of what I was saying. The priming compound can only be worked when wet and when it dries it is very dangerous. The part of the facility that mixes and spreads the priming compound into the plates is kept very wet. Very complicated process and facility needed, not something that can be done easily.

I looked at them and I will assume they are getting someone else to repackage their primers into xtreme packaging. Since they say they are similar to the hardness of CCI primers I would guess that is who is doing it for them.
If you have ever seen primers being made you know it isn't something that a company can just start doing without an incredible amount of $.

I mostly use KKM because they work well for me. Not sure if it is still this way but Wilson barrels were made by Jarvis back years ago when I got a Wilson for my G21.

Nice, I would buy that to go with my other Bill Davis Revolver. They shoot awesome, I have shot some amazing high round count groups with mine off my Ransom Rest.
I went to college in Sacramento and Bill moved his shop (from a different location in Sac) to the indoor range I shot at in the late 80's so I used to talk with him all the time. Mine is a well worn Mod 14 4 screw and I brought it into talk with Bill about it when I picked it up used from the original owner. He said it was definitely a gun he converted for someone (the guy was a Sherriff and shot PPC) because he said he only converted fixed sighted guns for sale and would never ruin a "perfectly good revolver that had adjustable sights" unless it was a conversion for a customer.

Back a few years when I started loading 165's for my new 6" limited gun the info I could find said Solo 1000 was the powder to use. I got an 8 lb.'r and started loading. There were comments about it not being consistent and some were using a cheap aquarium pump strapped to the powder hopper to settle the powder evenly. I tried it out and it seemed to work and I ended up using it to load some large batches of match ammo and then went to open and haven't loaded any since.

My Edge always has run factory length rounds, seems to be an individual gun thing?

In Red 2 it is a Para type gun.

Looks like a 10-8 trigger to me.

It is called a ringer and we have discussed it a few times here over the years as it is not uncommon. If you search for "ringer" and my user name you will find a few threads on this. Below is a link to one of them.

Years ago I picked up a G21 top end and I shoot it frequently on my Gen 2 & 3 G20's with nothing else other then a G21 magazine. Never changed out the ejectors and it has always worked fine.

I had a package coming from MO go down to Puerto Rico and then come back up to finally get here to AZ?

I have the 7.62x39 version on my SIG 556R and have found the reticle to work well.

I have large hands and I like the Hogue grip off the Xframe revolvers. Bigger so they fill up my hands great and they are cheap so I have them (same grip feel) on my 625, 610 and 627.

I brought back a Tanfoglio "IPSC Ultra" from when I was stationed in Germany. It had the words "IPSC Ultra" on the slide a DVC shield on the hard chrome frame and a DVC serial number. Since it was a 9mm breach face slide I fitted a Briley 6" 9mm barrel and had it trimmed back and then picked up some 9mm mags for it. This is still the most accurate 9mm I own with either jacketed or lead bullets. It also takes allt he small frame stuff like the single action flat trigger.

410 is notorious for being hard to load even though I have no issues with it on my progressive MEC. I would speculate that Dillon tested a .410 conversion (why you heard rumors of it) but could not get it to work to their satisfaction. In their typical fashion, that means they don't make the conversion available because they don't want to deal with the issues. They used to offer a 550 conversion for loading .25 ACP but they don't any more because it was always having issues (what I was told when I tried getting one years ago) so they stopped making them and don't sell them any more. Then there are certain things out there that Dillon doesn't want to mess with so they never talk about them, think 5.7.

It is a frangible bullet, compressed copper powder or something like that.

Funny, I just had USPS deliver a package (3 day priority that took4 days) to me in AZ that came from MO and it went through Puerto Rico also??? I figured it was a mistake but it is interesting you had the same thing and they both originated in MO?

The limiting factor is probably more the length than the width, I can load .460 Weatherby on my 550.

Yep, same frame sold by Safari Arms because of the hook on the front of the trigger guard and the raised pad of checkering on the front strap. I built a consecutive serial # pair of them back in the 80's and that frame is the same thing I used but it was marked Safari Arms.

Kevin, I have an ARE cap on my 2007 double cab long bed. The ARE cap I got was made so the sides of the cap were molded over the edge of the bed and covered up the black bed on the rails. As far as removing the rails I would say the manufacturer of the cap should have the answer but honestly if I had to cut them off I would go with a different cap. As you can see in the pic below the cap I have covers up the bed on the rails. It should be easy as mine is in super white.

The earlier versions just used to have the internal clips inside the cups to hold the speed loaders and then they started putting the kydex tabs on them also. Big improvement with the tabs over the clips as they held in the speed loader much better. You can see both in the top pic in RePete's post.
I used them shooting action pistol matches (back in the 90's with a Bill Davis PPC revo
) with comp III's and they worked fine. I guess it would depend on how strenuous a match it is? Neal in AZ

When I picked up my Coonan used back in the 90's it had a .38 SPL conversion kit with it which was basically a reduced power spring and a magazine with a metal spacer down the back of it like on 9mm STI mags. Since I am a reloader and have .357 mag brass in large quantities I never bothered using it, I just load .357 brass lighter and use the regular mags with a lower powered spring.
The Coonan uses regular 1911 recoil springs with two coils cut off (per the Coonan Manual) so I kept the .38 SPL kit together and just got a new spring and trimmed it. I also use the light spring when I am shooting up a bunch of factory Remington .357 mag loaded with 110 & 125 JHP's I have had for years.

I marked my cases when I was shooting my Infinity open gun in 9x23. Loaded rounds staggered nose down in a plastic 50 rd case tray. I then put a small socket on my cordless screwdriver and put a small piece of rubber material in the socket. Put socket on back of case and turn on so it spins the round and touch a larger sharpie to the rounds as it rotates. If you stagger the rounds in a 50 round tray you can do 10 on each side one after the other and then spin it around and do another 10. Worked well and I was able to mark rounds faster.
Solved the problem by having it converted to 9mm.

9x23 has the taper like a 9mm, Super is straight walled so they will fit just like the guys who shoot 9mm in supers. You might consider just selling it if it is factory stuff. there is a bit of a cult following on 9x23 by the 1911 single stack guys and since factory 9x23 is not common it might be worth more than just shooting it?

It is called ringer. There are 2-3 threads on here about them. If you want to search for them you can search my screen name as I posted on them.
