How did the range session go? I have been shooting Bayou Bullets for a number of years and have never had an issue with the bullet itself. I do gauge every round I load. I have found a small percentage of the cases to have rim that is too large in diameter to go into the gauge. Some are just bugger...

Well guys I think I may have just solved my mystery. It seems that the Bayou Bullets projectiles are slightly larger around than the FMJ. The BB rounds were measuring out to .357 - .370 in diameter. Evidently this is just enough to keep the round from seating fully in the chamber. On the advice of N...

The symptoms he described are almost exactly what I'm experiencing, thanks Rotor, this might just be the problem. I will check this tonight when I get home. Thanks for the video and the help!

Nuts,

I dont know, I will check that. Thanks for the tip.

Do you have a case gauge to see how these loads fit? What happens when you just take the barrel out and try to insert a cartridge into the barrel? Does it easily load?

I'm Having some reliability issues with my hand loads in a Colt Competition 1911 in 9mm. For some reason the gun jams closed when the slide cycles and loads a new round. The round almost fully loads and when this happens the slide is just out of battery by about a mm or so, just enough to keep it fr...

Thank's everyone for the advise and comments. I made it out to the range to test out my loads and ended up coming home and bumping up the powder charge to 4.5gr, had a few issues with the slide cycling reliably.

Warnmar10,

I got the recipe from load data.com so I'm pretty sure it's accurate. Since I am brand new to reloading I figured I would post my setup here and let the other members come in with tips and advice. Thanks for the response.

Hello to all, I just got myself set up with a Dillon 550 and I am currently set up to load 9mm. My current load set up is the following: Bayou bullet 135gr LRN Winchester 231 4.0gr CCI Primers OAL 1.135 Do y'all think that I'm on the right track here? Also I have noticed some slight variability in m...

Looking to pick up a 15 round magazine for my HK P30 in 9mm, anyone out there looking to part with one?

Thanks,

Steve

NIB, never used. I purchased this by mistake thinking it would fit my upper. This rail is specifically designed to fit DPMS-GII seres rifles. Asking price is 100$.
