Hit my first GM run today at EDPS. Have historically been terrible at this classifier; forced myself to make everything count by not planning a reload. Think I finally settled on a load for the 2K11, now I just have to stop myself from tinkering 😂😂
Missed Monday waiting on some parts so we can just call it M&P Monday+1. Still waiting on some MM palm swells but looking forward to getting to the range this week and running some rounds through this.
-Apex trigger kit
- CK Dogtag and grip insert
- W74 guide rod/13lb spring
- Ed Brown skeletonized striker
- Spring Precision mag release w/ paddle upside down for wrong handed individuals
- Henning basepads w/ CSRG internals
Has anyone compared the MM palm swells to the Dynamic Advantage DNA Extractor swells? Primarily shoot 2011s with extremely aggressive grips (similar to MPA S3) and the stock swells feel pretty slick.
Fairly new to 9mm reloading but have decent experience with shotshell.
Curious if anyone has consistent issues with CBC and GFL brass when reloading? When it comes to case expansion/flair, these cases seem to get stuck on the powder funnel and take a significant amount of force to unstick. Bullets don’t seat well either, compared to other brass (Blazer, WIN, etc); with poly bullets there are visible shavings outside of the case before crimp.
I’ve tried case lube and it lessens the pain but still substantially harder to expand than other brass. No real issues with sizing.
It’s gotten to the point I am sorting brass by headstamp before loading.
Is this normal for these cases? Primarily get brass from indoor range that sells mostly Magtech which, from my research, uses CBC. About 40% of the brass I get is CBC/GFL. I’d like to use this vs scrapping it.
For reference, loading on a 750XL with Dillon sizing die (also tried Lee undersized sizing die), UniqueTek 0.357 powder funnel (same issue with Dillon funnel). Primarily loading Brass Monkey 137gr (0.356) and Blue Bullets 135gr TC (0.355).
