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.

I have used Joe 3 times and the guys at work have used him several more.

I got the same kit for Christmas. Great kit. Make sure you get a trimmer it you are just doing pistol.

Had a 2005 Victory 8-ball

Only one logical way to shoot 7x57.
Sing the song, come on.....
Roll, roll, roll your own. Crimp the end and then........
Problem is finding brass. Also in the fn the brass flys forward and gets lost pretty quickly -
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.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.

Just to let everyone know I just now finally recived the ammo from Samco. Pretty dirty brass. Just thru a couple handfuls into the tumbler lets see how they come out.

I need a couple more mil surplus guns in my collection.
-
if it was for a 125gr lead bullet I would use 4.5gr of unique
-
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. -
Samco is the only game in town. Corrosive and nasty looking. Prob ok in a bolt gun. I'd be cautious in a semi.
Grafs has 7mm privi in stock usually
Well I bought 400 rounds to shoot in a FN49. Hope it doesn't screw it up. -
Does anybody know where I can get some surplus ammo at? Just picked up a new gun and would like to try it out.

USPS flat rate box with a lot of tape

I am in the same boat. Bought a feg pa-63 in January and haven't got to shoot it yet.
-
Hmmm I just loaded 200 rounds of 223 with 6 1/2 rem primers. They worked fine on my 20 round test fire.

Can either pin a flash hider onto a barrel?

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. -
how much damage does it cause to the equipment? to self?
I'm a chicken and don't use my Dillon's primer - I hand primer each one so that I can control the force.
Non to equipment. To self ears just ring for a minute -
Has this ever happened to anyone? Was using remington small rifle primers with .223 brass on a RCBS rock chucker. It scared the poop out of me.
-
Also they have primers at the gun counter

is this show any good?

what does he mean per m? i know what a k is but not a m.

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.

Which outpost armory isn't it close to Nashville ? -
Just remember that straw purchases are illegal.
Did not know sorry.
