As far as areo lowers go I can speak very highly for the M4E1. It makes life so easy with the integrated trigger guard and a threaded bolt catch. One of the nicest inexpensive LPK I bought was from...
Thank you I'll have to take a look at mine when I get home tonight.

Do you have any insight on what spring you had installed incorrectly? I did a p80 G19 build and am also having similar problems stovepiping and not always locking on last round. I am also at the top...
I will share what works for me. I end up tumbling twice once before case work and again after. If brass is relitavely clean to start will I will dry tumble first with walnut. If it's range pickups...
I just picked up the same rifle a couple months ago as well and hope to reload for it soon. I have some sig match ammo that will give me some brass and was thinking of using h4350. Unsure of what...
What's even worse is having all the time in the world to reload and not bring able to. I have a grade 1 AC separation in my right shoulder and was out of work for a month. Tons of brass to process...
Those are on par with my best groups from my 8.5" barrel with the same pills.

I bought the 150gr in hopes of getting a super cheap subsonic plinking round. I have come up with a few loads that stay subsonic and still cycle the action. Just need to load up some more and test...
Yes but what is accurate in your gun might not be in mine at the same charge weight. I was just curious to compare it to what I was getting with Lil gun.

What are you getting for velocity?

I just shot a test load last night of Lil gun from 15 to 17gr. This was giving me velocities in the 1800s from a 8.5" barrel. I was seeing some flat primers on the higher end so be careful.

I just bought one as well. I loaded a batch of lc brass the other day and noticed some primers slightly protruding so I figured it was time to add this step to my process.

The 14/20 grit is smaller and won't get stuck inside bottleneck cases.

I bought some cob pet bedding from Petco. The grains were too large and got stuck in the open primer pockets. Luckily I run a universal decapper in the first station of my 550. I just bought some...
I just use brake clean for most everything. I work in a shop and end up with a few extra cans a week so they just go home with me.

I got it all working. Ended up being a poor connection at the unit, I pushed and wiggled and felt it go in a touch more then voila! Tested it out with my little pump BB gun which has a better...
I did that and while it did seem to communicate somewhat it still wasn't giving me any readings. I might set it up in the backyard tomorrow with the suppressed 22 and see if I can get anything to...
I just bought one and went to try it last Wednesday. Unit worked good but I was unable to connect with the app as well. I am currently using a Samsung note 9. I have an old iPhone lying around I...
Where it is new brass and not once fired does it even need to be sized and trimmed?

Thank you for that link that answered a lot of questions and things are starting to make some sense. Is shoulder bumping something that is commonly done for semi autos or is it strictly for bolt...
Currently I reload for 223 ans 300 blackout both in the AR platform. I'm not currently having any issues I'm just trying to get a better understanding of this.

I'm still new to all this and understand what it means (kinda) but unsure how to accomplish it. What is the process for "just bumping the shoulder back" on fire formed cases that will be used in the...
I currently have a kimber. If I had to do it over again I would buy a Springfield.
