For sure. I prefer to crimp in a seperate step though. But I agree.

Here are the numbers.

Pistol barrel slug: Max dia = .312"
Pistol Cylinder throats: all 6 measure .314"

New bullet: .313"

Bullet pulled from loaded cartridge: .3125 or so (measured with...

I believe I checked the throats, but now that we have all these ideas floating around again I should get the tools back out and check it all again. I will do so this weekend and update you all with...

Good idea on the smash test. I previously slugged the barrel and found the bullets to be properly sized. Even then, in my experience costed bullets seem to be pretty forgiving in size. I haven’t...

What’s interesting is the bullets that have been problematic so far are the 12bhn ones.

I’ll check all those suggestions. Like I said the 10mm has been fine. 9mm fine in most barrels.

The only real issues are the 32 and 44.

I was wondering what the general thoughts on MBC is around here?

For reference, I have some of their offerings in various calibers. All coated with Hi-tek.

Initially everything seemed great, no...

Interesting idea for sure!

That is something that I have no experience with, but it looks pretty dang sweet!

I appreciate all the insights!

Do you have any idea about how fast you were running those?

Hey all, due to the outrageous cost of 500 these days, I am finally going to shell out some cash for the dies to load it.

As far as bullets, J-words are stupid expensive, and unnecessary for what...

Thank you a ton! for some reason, no matter how I searched for them I kept coming up with the split style. Using this keyword fixed the issue and presented me with exactly what I needed!

Now the...

To close out this story, I heard from the buyer a long time later that he had been preoccupied with family business.

No hard feelings and I think that the advice in this thread was on point!

I was on the search for some of lee's splined locking rings today.

It looks like they may have stopped making the standard splined ones in favor of replacing the whole lineup with the "ultimate"...

That may be so, which is why he isn't getting a deadbeat post. Regardless, I don't think that any reasonable person wouldn't have moved on after a week.

By the way the buyer never did get back to me. And I still haven't sold the item. Several other bites but nobody has actually come through and paid!

I think I'm gonna move it to another forum.
I...

That is my plan. I want to be fair but also not wait forever holding the bag.

I agree 100% I feel its fair to wait a little over a week. If I don't hear back by then, then I will assume he's either a flake or has problems large enough that this deal will become insignificant...

As far as I can see, he has not been online since we last spoke.

Seeing that there might be extenuating circumstances, I will wait until the weekend. If nothing by then, I will open the sale up to...

Yes, thanks for that clarification!

My inbox is wide open, but I had not considered the internet issue. Great perspective from someone in a different situation than I!

To address some questions. He was supposed to pay via paypal, I never even gave him my physical address so MO isn't a possiblity. Frankly I'm with gpidaho on that one!

I have sent 3 PMs now. One...

Just curious as to what the consensus is on how long you all wait before re-offering an item when you haven’t heard back or been paid following a pm?

It has been 4 full days. Buyer said they would...

Alright folks, I know this is something that has been covered in the past, but I don't see a lot of current info out there.
