  1. I have the earlier version of the Sig SP2022. I have the SP2009. I have had shot around 1500 rounds thru it an have never had a FTF or FTE. I am currently have the Safriland holster that I use to carry it. Kind of bulky but have no problem. Bought Trijicon night sights for it also. Also no problem shooting lead thru it.
  2. I am not sure how I'd be able to provide proof of this to you other than I guess you could tumble some loaded ammo, pull the bullets & measure the grain sizes of the tumbled powder after/at various time intervals.
    Or if you are that sure it won't effect them & you have a chrono you could tumble a few for awhile, see if there is a change in velocity when you shoot them, or you could just stay on the safe-side, take the word of some semi-anonymous forum poster, who's been shooting for 35+ years & reloading for 25+ years & who is just trying to keep potential bad things from happening to his fellow forumites.
    *shrug* I shared a bit of safety info, what you all do with it is completely up to you, heed it, ignore it, test it, but whatever you do .. please be careful doing it.

    I have done multiple research on tumbling live ammo. Everything I have found scientifically points to its ok to tumble live ammo. Here is a link to a good write up.

  3. Let me know what condition the ammo was in and how it shoots in the fn. I recently picked up a vennie and if samco's ammo is GTG then I'll load up on some. Thanks!


    Will do. Hope to get it shipped soon. At 20 cents a round I couldn't refuse trying it out.

    I've had 'em go off a time or two usin a single stage press and priming arm.  As others have said; "..."too much pressure.  Ya crushed the primer and set it off...".  The problem is that it's hard to "feel" sometimes when the primer seats.  Iv'e fixed this little problem by usin a lee hand primer.  Ya can "feel" the primer seat and get just the "right amount of pressure" to seat the primer like it should  be.  I load lots of ammo; but i hand prime all the rifle stuff and almost all the pistol stuff.  I'll occasionally prime with my dillon progressive; but most of the time i hand prime everything.
     
    Hope this makes ya feel a bit better.  You aint the only reloader to ever do this.

    I have the rcbs hand primer just trying to get the holders. But getting dies, bullets, powders, and primers money runs out pretty quickly.
  5. I bought 6k small & large pistol primers at Outpost Armory.  They had pallets of primers, rifle as well.  Some powder, Trail Boss I use and several I've never used before.  They had a lot of guns, ammo & supplies.  It was worth the trip from the Cleveland range after the cowboy match.
