Thats strange because I consider my P320 one of the most reliable guns I have. I have the very first version with the original trigger and I never had any desire to send it back to get that fixed. I...

LEO training round i see them on my range. I thought it was strange when I saw it first time too. If you see one loaded there is a small projectile filled with paint. They look like this : 284884
I love my MC but I dont think its unusual for POI to change with different loads. Shooting 160gr RNFP with H110 and magnum brass in my gun always shoots high left but when i go down to 130gr RN in...

That looks very similar to Ruger ARX ammo so there were few companies that tried that design. The reason I got a box is specifically for my PT111 that doesnt feed hollow points but it will feed this...

Sad story but it should have been reported as "accidental death" not "accidental shooting" in my opinion.

Keep that mold hot that will get rid off wrinkles. If your getting fins or "wings" your mold is not closing all the way might be tin collecting at some spots or you just not holding it close. Wait...

I've been using more and more Vectan as well. A0 and GM3 at first but I got some other ones last time that I havent tried yet. Very good price, measures well and it burns clean no issues yet and you...

Was that for a single shot or AR platform? Did it cycle? I'm curious.

I think HS6 burns too fast for 300BO. Maybe in a bolt gun with super low loads but even then you would have so much free space in the case that i wouldnt trust it. I did use TrailBoss for light 300...

There were threads about this. From my understanding the only problem was with light 125gr full house 357 mag loads loaded with LG. 158gr didnt have that problem though.

I wouldnt use any pump unless I absolutely had to. I would just raise it up and let gravity do the work. You should be able to get it done in a basement. All pumps, switches, relays have a life span...

I played with heavy 9s for little bit there are multiple threads from the past if you search I know I had one at one point. You can make Lee 358-158-RF work but I like NEO 358-158-TC ELCO better

Lee 356-125-2R is my favorite, cheap, feeds well and cast fast with 6 cavity. Lee 356-120-TC will probably be suggested as well as I've seen many people use that mold to especially if you have a...

As mentioned by everyone else Lee 158 RNFP is great to start with.

I have never removed the rings but I have used diamond paste to hone those out to a larger size, same with lee sizing dies. Dowel in a drill with some cotton or felt and diamond paste. I think i had...

Thats great I have many different versions of this chart but this is the first one that has Vectan powders which I have been using more and more lately so that helps, thanx.

There shouldnt be any lead shaving they should basically be swaged by burning gases down to whatever size your barrel is. Lead is soft enough so size is not the problem. Most leading issues are...
If your looking for defense/woods load then I wouldnt use that bullet neither. I'm not a hunter but from my understanding for a bear load xtp bullets are not ideal neither because of lack of...
Thats strange because most 45s are shot with fast powders and in your case with your short 4.25 barrel and 185gr bullets sounds like fast powder is the only way to go. Now if you had 5 or 6" barrel...
Thats not exactly the best combo as your finding out. 45acp does best with fast burning powders and #2 would be much better in this application. Plus your shooting light bullets so that doesnt help...

Just like Jeff I have Taurus PT111 G2 which looks like the previous version of your gun and this guns chamber wasnt cut for lead if you ask me. The reason your having to seat those so short is...
Sounds like you have 356-125-2R which is my favorite for 9mm. With my alloy and PC it comes out around 129-130gr and it shoots great. The only problem you might have is with guns that have short...

I have been using Vectan more and more lately. Good powder for the price and it burns clean and you get 1.1lb instead of 1lb. So far I used Vectan A0 in medium power 357,10mm and I think 40S&W. I...

Thats my go to bullet for 9mm right now so its the most used mold in my inventory as well but I'm nowhere near 750K thats a lot of lead right there. The only thing I managed to do is to scratch up...
