I will kindly disagree with this statement. I use an undersize sizing die for range pick-up 9mm brass. Belling the case mouth and seating the bullet creates wasp waist. Using a regular sizing die produces less of a wasp waist. For the record I use a Dillon Powder funnel in a Dillon 750 for my...

So much ugly out there. Is ugly just form or can function make a gun ugly?

I wonder how it shoots.

Part of the higher prices is inflation. According to the government inflation calculator, a $35 pound of powder in 2019 would be $43 today. There are only so many propellant manufacturers. We shut down several as a "peace dividend" when we had "sufficient" war stocks. Not only we making bags...

I shoot steel challenge here in the U.S. and that's what I thought the problem was when I first read your headline. I've broken two and seen several others. I have several TK parts that I keep with me when I go to the range and a replacement spring is one of them.

"It should have been straight-wall, not tapered. Should have been in 10mm/.40 caliber, not 35." You mean like the .400 legend? SAAMI approved it Jan. 15.
