I can understand that the Makershot meets your needs, but your rant seems a bit over the top. For what it's worth I have stood on my UpLula and it's been run over by a car without affecting continued function. One of the largest advantages of the UpLula is that it depresses the follower from...

I think we've discussed this one enough. I think it's time to move on to another subject

That was fairly common due to the low magazine capacity of the 96. While 92 mags would hold at least 15, most 96 mags held 10 unless you wanted to hunt down the 11-round ones

In center fire there is some, ranging from barely noticeable to quite a bit depending on caliber I rim fire, the differences are huge. You can easily see the difference on target...even between different lines within the same manufacturer

What issue are you running into with the Seating die? I've seen the Deluxe set and the only difference between it and the regular die set is that it include a third die for neck sizing The Seating die included in the set is the regular Seating die...which you would set up as you would any...

Since it appears that the thread has devolved into silly posts which weren't even tangentially related to the OP, I guess it's time to put it to bed

My understanding is that a Lee Sizing die forms the case to SAAMI minimum, while the ring in the FCD forms it to SAAMI Maximum

I have done this also I've used M-profile expanders from Lyman and Redding. I've used expanding inserts from DAA, Lee, and RCBS on various presses over the years

Thank you, very interesting. Your pictures clearly show all the high lights of the third gen I knew there were three generations, but didn't realize how evolved the third generation really was. 1. The open fingers of the slide make complete sense with the inclusion of the gate on the new case...

...and 3 post after that explanation/ admonition, we have a perfect example of a worthless post

Which bullet were they loaded with?

You should take a look at the recent thread I started asking about a powder suggestions for multiple cartridges. My admonition against "bias opinions without support " was intended to apply to both sides of the argument. I originally didn't include an example and only added one for clarity...

"All my autos" would seem to imply more than one. Which of your auto cartridges, besides the 9mm, isn't a "straight wall cartridge?" I believe the question posed to you was specifically, "Which cartridge does the 9mm FCD bulge bust"...which I don't think you've answered

It will not "fix" the issue, if you mean correct the cause of the issue. It might help the rounds to chamber by over sizing the case/bullet, but it won't address what needs to be done to prevent it in the first place Without knowing exactly what was said, it would be hard to tell how "big a...

I might have gone a little over board when I started shaving coating when I first started loading coated bullets in .38Spl 1. Trim cases to uniform length; chamfer and bevel case mouth...for uniform expansion and roll crimp 2. Expand with Redding M-profile die...expanding enough so that bullet...
