    New Hornady 134 .257

    The ACE is done done. Even if Sierra made more, the money to pay for them doesn't exist anymore, and you're not gonna see it come back to you. (I'm in that boat with you, unfortunately). Another option that doesn't seem to get discussed much is the Berger 133 Elite Hunter - it's not available...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Ah, gotcha, thank you. I thought date was encoding in the number somehow, but it's not... at all... LOL... I'll drop you my control number in a DM...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Just curious what the encoding is, or how you know that number indicates March 30/31? I only ask cause I certified on on July 7th, 2022, but my control number doesn't seem to make it obvious it was in July?

    The new SAC sizing die

    Uh.... off by an order of magnitude? LOL

    The new SAC sizing die

    Alan's a good dude - he just went above and beyond for me on a different issue.

    The new SAC sizing die

    I have two new mandrels from them - .2540, and .2545 (yes! .25 cal is now a first class citizen!) Both measure dead nuts with a mitu mic.

    Dealing with a non-responsive vendor

    Might as well sling some mud at him, too 🤣

    The new SAC sizing die

    Are you shimming the bushing, too? If not, you can likely do a bit less camover, and add appropriate bushings to get your bump.

    The new SAC sizing die

    What's weird is, myself and another guy locally (me shooting 25CM, him 6CM) have to back the die off from the shell holder in order to get proper bump with no shims installed. I was getting a .012" bump with the die set up with cam-over. That said, we're both using the MEC press, not a Zero -...

    Dealing with a non-responsive vendor

    Old age? Listen here, young whippersnapper! (I'm almost 51, myself... LOL) Unfortunately, this pattern has played out more times than I can count in the gun industry. It's usually followed by the company going under, and the owners being brought up on wire/mail fraud charges (because they've...

    Dealing with a non-responsive vendor

    Just to circle back, I have provisional credits for all three purchases, now - the disputes can extend up to 45 days, so nothing's final, yet, but they're underway, anyway. And it's now been over a month, and not a peep back from Blackjack. Sad...

    The new SAC sizing die

    I'd use one if I could get one... LOL

    .25 Cal 135 Hybrid In 25 Creedmoor

    There are two Sinclair mandrels - and expander mandrel (.2560) and a turning mandrel (.2550). Don’t know on K&M. But as @5280yotes says, 21st century has them in a variety of sizes and at .0005” intervals!

    PSA: All Creedmoors should be .25 Creedmoors

    I’m at .020 jump - but .050 shot almost as well

    Dealing with a non-responsive vendor

    On the surface, yeah. In that situation (where you're dependent on another vendor to make your product, and that vendor decides to make more money by servicing other clients first), you really have only a few choices - you find another vendor, you wait, or you call it quits. If you pick the...

    Dealing with a non-responsive vendor

    Have known that - and it factored in to my decision to go another way, for sure. Edit to add - but just because an employee goes another way (even publicly) doesn’t mean the company or owner are bad… but in this case it doesn’t seem to look so good at the moment.

    You win the thread, sir. Well played!

    Dealing with a non-responsive vendor

    Don’t think I ranted anywhere? It was a serious question looking for ideas on how to proceed without resorting to drastic shit, without also stirring up a bunch of drama, but… shrug The vendor’s Blackjack Bullets. I’ve got three orders totalling close to $1k (which is small potatoes vs some of...
