    irritating when they change profiles on the same bullet

    i am not too keen on the new bullet but will work with it since i have 2000 of them. i had problems feeding not with the cz but with a 1911. with the deep seating there's a case bulge mid case( like a 147 gr 9 mm load- that one has never caused problems). this feeding problem only happened with...

    .38 Special 148 grain wadcutter loads using Bullseye

    your bullet is a 148 gr dewc.the MBC 148 gr dewc has a similar profile(including the much maligned irregularities in the sprue end) i didn't get good results at 2.8 gr bullseye with it and it shot much better at 3.2 gr using lyman as a guide. initially, i loaded it ugly end out( so the gases...

    do you stop shooting before taking air travel?

    good to know with all the above replies and the amount of shooting i do is much less than what you guys describe.

    do you stop shooting before taking air travel?

    i have been paranoid about shooting a day or so before flying out of the airport especially when they used to have the machine that blasts a puff of air at you(that machine was shortlived at the TSA). does it matter? with nice weather it would be nice to shoot up until a trip if i wanted to. as...

    irritating when they change profiles on the same bullet

    math was never my strong suit but i rounded off the measurements wrong as well ha ha... so download the increments rather than upload. maybe the increased bearing surface will make it more accurate than the previous one.

    irritating when they change profiles on the same bullet

    the new one measures 0.642 vs old 0.656. they are both rn 230 gr hi tek coated 0.452 the bevel is less pronounced on the new one. i will just load 2 more 0.2 increments lower than current load of 700x to the range. i haven't tried out new loads due to the lack of primers. found 2 of the old...

    irritating when they change profiles on the same bullet

    i have used 45 ACP MBC 230 gr RN hitek coated softball for several yrs. the loads that work in my 1911 and sig 220 don't feed well in my cz97b so i've learned what COAL works for the CZ. i was still working through the last of my prepandemic 230 gr rn bullets and started on a box from 5/2021...

    Heavy 1911 hammer spring?

    wow another word i have never heard of. i thought it was made up. i would have thought a gymnasticator would just be called a cycling machine.

    for ruger mark 4 owners

    i took both uppers to the range and shot both. the group is tighter at 10 yrds offhand for the red dot off hand but the slab side upper has no problem hitting a 6 inch gong at 50 yrds rested on the bench once you figure out the hold. off hand 50 yds it is just a tad worse than the red dot and...

    New Blue Python BROKE! ugghh

    that gap that you are mentioning may be from the design. the cylinder lockup occurs when the trigger is in the pulled position and the cylinder is pushed forward. so you will still see it after you get your gun back.

    New Blue Python BROKE! ugghh

    are you sure your bullets are not too long? the colt cylinders are shorter than ruger and smith and wesson. i had one load i could not close the cylinder on and it turns out the bullet tip was protruding just a bit. those bullets run fine in the other guns.

    Sprindfield XD Remover rear sight

    if you're lucky you might get to see some scuff marks on one side which makes it the side that was pushed in first.

    Which Ruger Mark IV to get?

    not trying to derail the thread but how much torque did you apply to attach the holosun to the plate. the instructions were 7 inch pounds with the plate ( i guess that low since it's mounted on the receiver of a 22)and 15 inch pounds with the red dot instructions. my lowest torque setting is 10...

    Ruger Mark ll mag loader

    i like this from amazon. fairly cheap.i got a fancier magazine loader from speed beez that is similar to the McFadden one when it was on sale. i wasn't happy with the fancier one especially when using aguila 40 cpsp which is shorter than other rounds and tenda to tilt in the magazine. Ruger...
