johnbu Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Got a light strike today with S&B primers. Hit it a 2nd time and "pfffft!"...that sound we all hate. Squib. Racked the brass out...WHAT THE ___?? 380ACP. I hate 380 acp brass getting into the 9mm heap!! My press will run it around, but being short, no powder drop. Concidering the brass was just loosely hanging on the extractor, I'm impressed it popped. but was much less impressed as i pounded the bullet out. And pounded, and pounded, and finally got it out. While i did need a 2nd whack, once again it was an ammo issue. Not the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Interesting. My 650 will absolutely drop powder into a 380 case, on the rare occasion my shellsorter brass sorting widget and the lack of effort on the upstroke don't tip me off!

Nathanb Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Agreed. I've gotten powder and even managed to stuff a 147 in a 380 case. Lol. I'm not so sure I'd like to fire it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure I'd like to fire it though I shot one of them once. Through an M&P. Fed and ejected like any other round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ck867 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 My 1050 with Mark 7 will drop powder in a .380 case but it won't drop a bullet from the MBF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff O Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I even have a tray to sort the 380 out of the 9 and I still occasionally get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
