    Something wrong with my Sig, or my recipe?

    A lot of posts have come in like this. It is said to be caused by the bullet leaving the case before the case has expanded to make a good seal in the chamber. I have seen some facory loads do this also. I don't worry about sooty cases, as it all comes off in the wash. I've never seen any gas...

    What Happened to this Brass?

    I use the 9mm Makrov carbide sizing die and push through. That works pretty well

    What Happened to this Brass?

    I bulge bust all my 9mm brass before reloading. I can do it faster than dropping each one in a case guage. With both my SA 1911's and my Canik having tighter chambers than my other 9's, it just makes every round (almost) chamber. I would like to have a roll sizer, but they are expensive. Every...

    Astra Sports

    I bought primers from them twice. Both times the order came quickly with no issues.

    HS6 Data Differences in 357 Magnum

    I load 7.0 gr HS-6 with 158 gr coated LSWC. They crono an average of1050 fps. Nice medium load, but the brass is sometimes stiff to extract and the primers are slightly flattened. This is in my 66 no dash. The same load never showed that in my old 19-3.

    Confusing results with 9mm and CFE Pistol

    I use CFEP with 125 gr coated in my 9mm pistols. I always start new loads light and usually have to go up to close to max to get my guns to eject more than a dribble. I now load 4.6 gr. and that works fine.

    9mm 1911 ,who would want one ?

    I now have 4 9mm 1911s (one is a DS). I just like the trigger and the look is classic. I only shoot them at the range. My CCW is a Sig P365, size and capacity rule this choice.

    Servisios and Adventuras Primer Observations.

    I tried 1000 in my 9 mm 1911s. No problems, so I bought 10,000 more. They are much easier to seat than Fiocchi.

    Pins or no pins wet tumbling?

    I use Southern Shine Chips. I think they get the primer pockets clean faster and haven't had any get stuck.

    Half the servicos aventuras primers I have used fail

    I've had no problems with SA SPP. They seat much easier than Fiocchi primers.

    Do Fiocchi SPP Work Well In Caniks?

    They work fine in my TP9sfx. The only primers I had trouble with were srp I bought when primers were scarce.

    Yoicks! Straight-wall cases DO stretch!

    When I used to shoot 44 mag a lot, I did trim some cases that were too long. They wore out before needing a second trim.

    Stainless pin question

    I use the chips from Southern Shine. I think they work much better for primer pockets. The trick is to use citric acid, I get milliard from amazon. I use 2 1/2 pounds of chips on the small FA wet tumbler. I can clean up to 500 9mm with this. The FA wet media separator is well worth the money...

    How many rounds during a range session?

    I usually shoot 300 to 350 every week. 300 9mm, then if I bring along my 66 no dash or 1911 Colt 45acp, I will shoot another 50.

    Why Do Reporters Always Emphasize That A Gun Was "LOADED"?

    It's kind of like reporting a "dead body". When a body is found, I think it's always dead.

    Auto-Forward Ruger Security 9?!?!?

    I used to have a Security 9c. If I recall, the slide lock was not meant to be a slide release, per the manual. The manual went with the gun when I sold it, so I may be mistaken, but It stated that you need to slingshot the slide to chamber a round, one of the reasons I didn't like it. It would...

    Any problems with officer model 1911s

    My Sig Ultra 1911 9mm (3.3 inch barrel) has from day 1 been more reliable than any of my other 1911s. It's sad Sig no longer makes 1911 in 9mm. I guess the military contract is taking up a large portion of their resources.

    Springfield 1911 Garrison 9mm Magazines

    Of the 9mm 1911 mags I have, the SA is the worst. I have 2 2 Sig 9 round (no name on them, purchased fron Sig) mags and 2 Wilson 10 round mags that work great in my Garrison.

    RCBS Vibrator Tumbler Wing Nut

    I just used epoxy on a stack of spare washers, so only a a couple twists on the wing nut works for me.

    Brass Cases Not To Tumble Together

    I have the smaller FA rotary tumbler. It works fine. All the fart jokes are great! Makes me think I'm back in grade school.
