Thank you

Do you know the overall length or width of meplat on these?

I was unaware of any issues when I bought it. I held all the 10mms they had in the store and definitely liked the feel of the Sig best. It’s worked flawless and shoots great when shooting factory FMJ to just get some rounds through it. Only discovered the issue when getting ready to carry in...

I have read a little on some of the other forums. Seems like it’s a well documented issue. I still haven’t found a solution though. One doesn’t buy a 10mm to shoot 165 gr FMJ.

I have two magazines, both have the same issue.

What are you using for defense/bear loads in your Sig P320 XTEN 10mm? I am having issues with mine feeding wide meplat bullets once I get six or more in the magazine. I have some reloaded Cutting Edge 190 grain solids and some factory HSM 200 grain hard cast that do the same thing. Once I get...

I have one in a Ruger 77. Bought it 2020. Shim the bolt and a little trigger work and it’s a good shooter. I bought 2 cases of ammo when I got the rifle. Haven’t seen much ammo around the last couple of years though.

That’s been my experience with H4831. It’s not going to win any races, but it’s hard to hate since it’s usually very accurate. Also stable and predictable.

I purchased a banish can from them in 2018, and two in 2019 - black Friday deal where I got a free rimfire with purchase of a banish 30. Both times process was very hassle free, and they set up the trust. Second ones there was about a month between ordering and getting notice that paperwork...

I have used it successfully for five different rifles. I shoot a ladder over the magnetospeed, 10-15 shots in increments of case capacity - 30 some grains powder is .3 grain increment, 40 some is .4. Then start tweaking the QL variables to get the QL velocities to match the magnetospeed across...

I believe your talking about Mike Johnson in Chinook. Have and have shot rifles from him. Top notch, fast turn around, very reasonably priced. Have also used Randy Melvin, Bull Mountain Rifle in Billings. He also builds a fine shooting rifle.

I broke the rule of only changing one thing at a time, but in this case I think all three are part of the solution. I ordered and received a .2755 mandrel. I removed the decapping stem and expander button from my FL sizing die, and run the cases through the bare sizing die. Then used the...

I do wet tumble so necks are completely clean. I have tried putting some imperial on the drive bands of the bullet, with no improvement. I have resized some old brass I have that hadn’t been annealed with this new batch of Norma brass. It was wet tumbled. They resize smooth and a bullet is...

I have one that I bought about a year-year and a half ago. There are a couple of good youtube videos on setting up/polishing/lubing. I did all of that before I run a round through it. It’s worked pretty flawless since. I can probably get 200-250 9mm an hour, with room to increase that if I...

It is plenty of neck tension, .004 right now. I didn’t even measure prior to annealing, since there were no issues and it was looking good and shooting good. I haven’t yet shot these few reloads since annealing and reloading, but I know I didn’t have this sticking issues prior to...
