My first 9mm die set was the Lee deluxe, nothing but frustration. I replaced the seater with a Redding Comp die, but that was not cheap. It’s all about the shape of the recess in the seating stem. Maybe the plain Redding would do as well.
You can seat most jacketed bullets in 9mm (and .38 Super) without expanding, flaring or chamfering with a seating die that matches your bullet profile well. I loaded both those calibers for a while with just the sizing die and a seating die. I was having trouble with a .38/1911 and bullet set...
I like a little mineral spirits in my walnut media.
Keeps it dust free, I can run it topless, and the cases come out with just a little slickness, ready for the press with no further steps.(handgun cases, leave the primer in)
Too much liquid of any kind will lock up a dry vibratory cleaner.
I’ve had 1 fail to extract with mine. 4.0 W231 under a 124.
No problems with anything else.
I suspect more power would’ve helped.
The extractor is a stamped part, so they have to change dies often, so every batch is a bit different.
I had a 357 max for a while. (10” Contender)
Accuracy with anything in 38 cases was terrible, magnum cases not much better.
If you wanted accuracy it had to be in max brass.
Sig Romeo5.
Not perfect, but reliable and clear.
I would prefer the brightness adjustment on the knob instead of the buttons.
I like the auto off/on.
Be aware there are knockoffs.
Thanks, but shooting from a rest 99% of that is the gun (Ruger PCC), the bullets and a good red dot.
The Ruger is not light and quick handling, but they know how to hammer forge a barrel.
I’ve owned quite a few pistol caliber carbines and this is the most accurate one.
ETA, sorted brass is a...
Maybe a new powder too.
Testing out my new RMR MWs against my other practice bullets.
Had good results all around, even the plated 147s shot ok today.
Shot 3-3 shot groups with each. GFL brass with Tula primers, 4.0 W231 unless noted.
Best groups were with the Sinterfire 100 frangible at .8” @...
If you want to get creative and cheap, I thought this was cool.
