Sold the Elite stuff and the Lyman trimmer

Hi, I have sold my 5.7 and I have the following reloading items for sale. It has only be used to reload about 100 rounds only. Some items are unused. If anyone wishes to make a offer on all of the items please go ahead. But no lowball offers, these will be ignored. RCBS 5.7 dies $35 Lyman 5.7 dies$3...

The PS90 is a really nice weapon in my view for this kind of situation. My mags would not contain a single type of round but several stacked. Start with a Ss190 followed by a fragmenting round followed by a incederary round. All my shots would be head shots or groin shots. It's hard to shoot back wi...

GONRA nitpicking: Bazzer69 should attempt to edit his posts to replace "primer cases" by "primer cups". Makes an easier read...

I have both the Lee dies and the RCBS. The Lee didn't seem to do a great job in resizing. The RCBS are great. I would try the CH4d dies if I could get a set. My cancelled my order after been told it would be several months before I could get a set despite being promised a two week delivery. I'm very...

Bazzer, I do not want to sound condescending. But based upon what you just posted you should not be reloading until you do alot more reading about reloading. You especially should not be reloading the 5.7x28 round. That knowledge is basic to reloading any caliber, and as you just figured out can be...

Who Dares Wins

Ive just purchased some 30grain HG Raptors from Cutting Edge Bullets. The Gel tests look impressive. It's a fragmenting round that splits on fluid contact into a base and five "petals" that radiate in a star burst fashion. In a vid of a large pig shot with one all the major organs where damaged. Loo...

GONRA suggests you Email Remington with the exact nomenclature and lot number, also a CONCISE STORY on it all. Fact that Remington's screwed up and Winchester's didn't should get their attention. (Hopefully you have some Remington's remaining to send back!) >>> Verk at it - a short punchy Email - F...

Steel primers you say? I figured they were all made of brass or copper or some similar alloy. Still want some pics though, I'm having trouble seeing what happened in my head. Not sure what the metal is in the defective primers, but being silver they might be a alloy of some kind. But the Winchester...

This morning I shot 33 rounds with the Winchester small rifle primers and not one issue. I can't measure speed, but recoil felt a little sharper. The problem primers are made from some kind of steel alloy, whereas the Winchester's look like brass. Brass will stretch more than steel so it makes sense...

All my cases are once shot, I resize, decap and trim. The cases are then ultrasonicly cleaned. I then check the OAL with calipers and check the cases with the EA go/ no go gauge. I reload with a Dillon 550. My powder drops are checked with a scale every now and then. They never vary by more than .1 ...

Sure it's not gas leakage from high pressure? Can you get some pictures for us? I'll try for pictures tomorrow . But my research via Google tells me that pistol primers are not designed for the pressures from a rifle cartridge which the 5.7 is. I've loaded a couple of dozen with Winchester small ri...

Cracked primer cases for sure. It looks like it's burnt a small ring on the breech face as well. Is it the crack causing the hole or the hole causing the crack? I'll pull a few of the other spent primers and see if there are any cracks in those.

On a few of my reloads I have been getting a primer problem. There is a small hole on the shoulder and a tiny crack running down to the base of the shell they meet. I have been using Remington small pistol primers, 4.9 grains of Power Pistol and 40grain V-Max. Is it defective primers? Or is my 4.9 g...

Cop haters? Muslim lovers? Now you're just trolling. Sorry, I'm NOT trolling. But if you want me to cease on the forum, just let me know.

Wow, so I didn't expect to find cop haters or Muslim lovers on this forum. Being berated by a moderator is not my idea of fun

Play nice y'all. Why does someone have to be drunk to be worried about another person? I did check the news on yahoo & google, NONE of the ones I saw said "Muslim Terrorists." They did say the shooters were Muslim and that a terrorist connection was being investigated. Any news agency which prints ...

I agree, never trust the media. I looked at a lot of reports via google , and that's the best I came up with.

Well done the Highway Patrol officer who shot the two scumbags at Garland.

Can anyone suggest a starting point for SS190, my available powders are Power Pistol, Bullseye and Unique. No True Blue I'm afraid. It's legal for rifle use here in California. Thanks.

does 5.0 grain of power pistol seem like a reasonable amount to work both for the ps90 and 5-7 without causing any problems? I have been trying 4.9grain Power Pistol with 40 grain V-max and i'm getting a little primer flattening and have some evidence of "blow back" around the primer with two round...

Ok, I figured out the answer to the last problem, that is the marking of the face of the barrel. It is when the barrel makes contact with the receiver when there is not a round chambered. If you release the receiver from the rear position with the receiver release and let the receiver "slam" forward...

I am getting a little "nick" on every fired cartridge case on my new MKII. It appears to be coming from either the Ejector Pawl, or the Load indicator. Do you get this? Is it normal? Also, what is the headspace between the barrel and the receiver when loaded and a dummy round chambered? Mine is abou...

Just to let anyone who is interested know, I purchased the Dillon powder funnel "A" and it works a treat, pretty constant loads. I'm using 5gn of Power Pistol with no signs of,over pressure. I don't have a chrono so I can't check the speeds. But since I'm shooting 40gn VMax, it's just fine for plink...

I've just purchased the WBT from Little Crow, but I find the cases are varying in length after using it. The cases have been put through my sizing die and have been cleaned in my Ultasonic cleaner. I'm guessing the reason for the difference is because the WBT trims from the shoulder and there must b...

Respectfully, I disagree, being a great marksman does not mean your good at self defense, it means you can accurately hit a paper target. Your self defense skills need to be reactive and not rely on much thinking time or time to take careful aim. Neither is COM the best way to neutralize a BG, a hea...

I'm not sure any of this matters. The shooter in the Fort Hood shootings used 197 mostly. It was very effective in so much he was not tackled by anyone in the building. All would be defenders were stopped in their tracks. So maybe I'll just stick to 40gr V-Max

I would just like to give feedback on recent purchases from EA. I ordered several items, a go/nogo gauge, a Custom Dillon Shellplate, a set of 5.7 Dies and a box of T6. The first two items are great, maybe a little expensive but of high quality and do the job as described. My order for the T6, I scr...

Of course I confusing frangible with fragmenting
Malted milk is good for you

It would seem that you really don't need a lot of penetration when using a frangible . For example, the DRT with its Fletch arrow arrangement , after penetration of the chest wall, in a COM shot, is all that's required, after that the Fletch arrows go off in every direction inflicting instant and ma...

I am new to the 5.7 pistol. I really like the way it shoots. I also find it very comfortable to carry IWB. But I'm undecided what round to use in Self Defense. I'm really leaning towards a frangible round of some kind , but which? I'm not sure. I would like to add I prefer to reload my own rounds. B...

Interesting Jay, I'll check with Sinterfire and see what they say

Yes. For a while there was a 35gr version. They stopped making them but before they did we bought all of them. They where used for our Sintor round. While I think someone did some testing I never did since I considered it waste of time. I created these rounds for practice where backstops had limita...

Has a ballistic test ever been done with a Sinterfire round in the 5.7 pistol, hopefully through a layer of denim and into a gel block. I have seen tests done when fired from a rifle, but none at the lower velocity of a 5.7 pistol. I would also be interested in your opinion of this bullet.

I do not trust powder drops to be consistent with the 5.7 round, I scale every load. Dillon does have a powder die & funnel set up that you can use in the 550, it's what I use when I need/want more control over the powder charge. You still need the individual funnels to go inside the die but it mak...

I do not know of any place that currently has it in stock as it tends to sell out within a couple of hours of coming in stock.

Of course I not used the powder because I don't think it's available to the general public. If I was making a video about my products I would ensure all that was shown was perfect.

FN is a Belgium Euro company , the Euro's mostly hate the USA , they supply NATO who also dislike the USA , yes I know the USA is a member. So it doesn't surprise me they are deliberately restricting supplies to the USA

Are the powder makers trying to " choke" the USA ? Politics ?

In the Fort Hood Shootings several people tried to rush the shooter, none got to him. It seems that the thirteen who died were shot COM. All the injured who were immobilised were shot in the extremities. Unfortunate for all the innocent victims the shooter chose a very good weapon.

Here's something I dug up from a old post. Very interesting if it's a all fact. If you include the fort Hood shootings it shows how effective the 5.7 is Here is some info from FiveSeven forum.

Anyone know where to buy a couple of pounds of True Blue at a reasonable cost? Midway has been out of stock for quite a while. My local dealers in Redding Northern California never have it!

Other than the infamous army shooting when the 5.7 proved very effective sad to say. Is there any other real life situations where the 5.7 has been used and what were the results?

I also started carrying and recommending CH4D dies after the good results forum members had been having with them. When more then a few senior forum members had great results with CH4D I ordered a set and started testing them. Based on that additional testing I not only started suggesting using the...

I've just ordered the Lee dies. The CH4d seem to have a long lead time.
Sorry, no offence intended.

Can you get good results with using the powder dispenser provided with the Dillon 550B, I assume you would use the small powder bar.

Bingo for this exact reason.

I'm thinking you did something wrong.

I have a brand new 5.7 and I decided to remove the mag safety. Easy. But on the range today I discovered that I could not drop a empty mag with the slide back.
