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...

You could try introducing him to a progressive press. There's a different sense of accomplishment having a completed round pop out with each lever pull

VBE isn't a special serial code, it's just part of the serial number. There was a 5906 a while back that had a VZE serial number that dated to around 1996

I appreciate all the sharing of experience and now have a pretty good idea of how we're going to proceed with his 10mm loading journey. The whole point was to see if the powder I was going to start him out with for higher velocity loads for 9mm would also be suitable for loading 10mm. I also...

Why spend that much when you can get Fiocchi SPP for $62/k ($375/6k) including shipping and HazMat from American Reloading

If you're using a M-profile expander and getting a trumpet shape at the case mouth, you have you die set too deep. The whole point of the second step is to create a "cup" for the base of the bullet to "sit in" while not flaring out to accept the bullet

Yes, I remember reading that and filed it away in some recess of my brain. When increasing the charge for my last loading, it took about 30 mins of frustration before I was able to recall the information. Once I was able to access that file, I was able to establish a consistent powder drop...

He's an engineer who works for Intel...he reads

I'm just lucky that I've use equipment from all the manufacturers I can just imagine his eyes glazing over as i explained adjusting and measuring OAL...and repeating until it was where you wanted it I almost dread explaining how , after you adjust the powder drop, you have to run several...

I wouldn't say cost is no problem or I would have steered him toward a Mark 7 Apex-10 so he could have one station for each die. Even I'm balking at the FW die for decapping and the hold own dies for swaging and priming He's an engineer by training and likes being able to exactly dial in...

Just a quick glance at Midway shows the seating die as $32 and the click micrometer as $82...$114; so about the same...but the red top on the Hornady is very cool. The advantage of the Redding is the floating seating plug riding inside the alignment sleeve which helps with bullets that might be...

You're further along than we are. He just got the bare press (reconditioned 6PP) and researching needed accessories, So far his big decision has been to go with the Redding Competition Seating die, in 9mm, to make switching between bullets easier. I see our research has lead us both down the...

Neither of those issues are really exclusively a "flaring" problem. Your issues as listed 1. unequal expansion due to differing case lengths. You can either set it for your shortest case and over expand the others or you can sort you cases by headstamp to lessen variances 2. Not enough neck...

It isn't much better than the magazine loader that came with your Glock. The ones for loading .22LR mags actually show some advantages The best magazine speedloader is still the UpLULA from Maglula
