I recently purchased a MEC 100E wobble and it is a fantastic machine!

I've seen 14 grain of blue dot and 800x in standard 45 acp brass. So the case is capable of high pressures. I've always wondered why the 45 acp was such a low pressure round. Some hollow points won't even open up. I picked up some really good bargains on acp ammo that was under powered and just reload them with a few more grains. Then the hollow points perform correctly. The 45 Super and 450SMC range is perfect with minor adjustments to the firearm. A lot of the 460 rowland loads are great too. The higher power loads require a few more mods but totally doable.

A video on disabling the auto safety would be great!

You guys should come back

OMG! This was 12 years ago, so I'm not writing to get a free hat. Great video and I was surprised to discover that the MEC SIZEMASTER was in fact a single-stage reloader. I just recently acquired an MEC Jr. in 20 GA, and I'm in the process of setting this up in my reloading room. At any rate, my guess is that CCI 209, was easier to seat and was designed for progressive reloaders. They had some issues igniting certain powders, and I also think they were used primarily for in-line muzzleloaders.

Wish these guys would do another series!

6:43 I wonder if Rick erad the rulebook yet?

Ever consider doing a comeback video with some IDPA update summaries?

Miss this show.

As a gunsmith i use wd 40 for bore cleaning and clp for oiling

Oisin needs to pay Ratso

I had the pleasure of working at both the original building and the building were they are currently. I worked as a Gunsmith in the Military range the best job is an understatement. I was blessed the best fifteen years of my life .

I noticed that the hammer spring assembly pooped out fairly easily - isn't there a guide nut that is crimped to the back of the assembly that would keep it from coming out?

Such a cool channel. Too bad im 7 years late. Make a comeback guys! For the new generation of sport shooters

Wow, my take on Carry Optics didn't age well; widespread use is 10-20 years in the future!

Is this about reloading or chronograph??? Stay on point

Hoppes ! I was trying to word what cleaner or lubricant will turn to varnish and harden over time. Hoppes. In defense, this skb 870 clone,didnt seem to have a box of shells through it, took work to disassemble, then cleaned and unsiezed bolt and firing pin. 25 yr old gun is brand new. Sorry, theres a touch of brag. Moo bad

I do 2 or 3 inertia block spring replacements a year. The older your fingers, the tougher it gets! Great video gentlemen. Bob R&D

I like to charge a cartridge ten times to multiply the error and tune it to get a closer charge.

My problem is I can barely load my mag it’s like the spring is too strong my gun is an armscore 1911

Thanks very much for such a specific and clear video! Bravo!

So I just bought a rock Island the other day m 1911 a1 should I leave my adjustment screw alone because I’ve never messed with it and I am very happy with the way my gun shoots but if there’s something happening in there that can cause undue wear I would like to solve it now

They down loaded it N123 Norma 10mm. Install Wolff extra power magazine springs 45 Super /250gr Hard cast / 9.0 of Longshot or Power Pistol Fed LP primer 24 pound spring and KKM barrel G21

Good for you winning two guns. I believe you deserve them with all your efforts!👊

Get proficient at skeet, and you can do well on any clay target discipline. It’s also why sporting clay shooters typically don’t like skeet. That’s just a personal observation. 🤔😀

fun to see you again. If you are still out there ,hello from KC MO. I used to live in Issaquah and belonged to SST and Renton sportsman’s club. It’s 2024! Anyway I always looked forward to your new videos. Thank you for your hard work, I hope you are still killin’ clay.

Doofers

you put out a 6-minute video with 1 minute of bs in the beginning

What is the date of manufacture? I’m wondering, thanks

I like guys like you who are too busy actually 'doing' and thinking while you're at it, to be a "Full of BS Wannabe". My friend DonnE is breaking into the exploding field of reloading and I believe you offer many excellent tidbits regarding subtle reloading details which should help him stay safe while enjoying working up his own excellent roundage. I'll subscribe and pass along this link to him. 👍😎

You make it sound so boring...those that prefer accuracy find it more attractive than just trying to ring steel

Late to the party but still would like to give my 2 cents... First of all, thank you for the very detailed to the point explanation. It's excellent and it's truly mamdatory instruction for anyone wishing to toy with these mods for higher pressure shooting, Secondly; the bulges on the cases as I'm sure you notice, are ahead of the reinforced area of the case near the primer, in fact they are a few millimetres into the body. This is due to high pressures activating the slide while the cartridge hasnt fully consumed all its powder. In a 1911 one way to remedy that early slide action is to install a flat bottom firing pin stop which delays the rearward movement of the slide, creates a more complete, cleaner ignition with less escape of gas if any. This results in slightly higher bullet speed because of the more complete ignition and the delay of the slide rearward movement protects the case longer, thus eliminating the case bulges. If you're familiar with this, please accept my apology. Many other shooting enthusiasts may learn something. In changing to a flat bottom firing pin stop in a gun dedicated to the 460 Rowland, I've increased the speed of my reloads by about 40 fps without changing anything else. Another advantage is that the rear action of the slide being slowed, a less strong recoil spring can generally be used which in turn doesnt slam the slide as hard when returning to battery, contributing to a longer life of the frame if one shoots hot loads regularly. It's a win win situation. Thanks for the great videos. I really enjoy them and shoot the same calibers that you do and learn a lot as I go along. Happy Thanksgiving !!

I've shot GI pistols for years and i have yet to know what a hammer bite is 🤷.

lol thanks for the FA knowledge

well done camera and explanation, apparently hard to do as demonstrated by others

I have a RIA 45 that has only one mag that will drop free of gun empty when mag release is pushed. When I got it, (used) it come with 3 mags original one extra 7rd and one 10rd. Even bought a Wilson combat mag. They will not drop free when empty seems to drag or stick on the sides inside handle just below top of mag. Contacted armscorp apparently my gun uses 8rd mag not 7rd. So now got 3 maps that really not of use.

The distance to get up to speed may be too short. Like a truck with400 hp to a car with 345 hp.

You don’t need $4,000 1911 pistol for reliability, we fought many wars just find with a stock GI pistols.

This weekend is my time as a range officer for gssf

Extra power mag springs will cure the feeding issues.

Hi steve. I heard you dont shoot granite anymore

Transition to uspsa.

If it takes 35:40 to explain the revisions, I'm already concerned. If you can emjoy it, more power to you. For me, it hasn't worked out so far.

If you don't ever want to adjust it again then blue was the wrong locktite. Red would do alot better

What a crock.

The case feeder will,literally, work flawlessly if you don't over fill it,literally! I believe that Dillon literally recommends no more the 80 empties at a time - literally😀

I bought one of the damn things. First clue I had that there was a problem was when they included a spare priming arm! Uhhhhhhh.... maybe you KNOW it is going to break? Good engineering??? Well, I loved Dillon and casually met Mike a couple times and gave it a try. Very disappointing. I'll find that primer that flew across the garage someday, I'm sure. Sent the whole thing back.

How does this compare to the A1 loaded? Is it basically the same thing?
