Off topic area / System Downtime Alert
Last post by sqlbullet - July 14 2025 08:51:34 AM MDT
There is an upgrade to the forum software available.  I will be performing this upgrade on the UAT version of the site tonight. This will not impact this production website.  If that upgrade is successful (and I expect it will be), then I will upgrade this production site tomorrow night, around 9:00 PM MDT.  It should be a minimal downtime upgrade, so chances are it will be un-noticed.  But if you have a hiccup or error tomorrow night around that time, that is why.

10MM SCS® TUI® - 190Gr Solid Copper Ammo 

https://fortscottmunitions.com/collections/handgun-ammo/products/10mm-scs-tui-190gr-solid-copper-ammo-copy

I would do a pull down documentation to see what's actually being used as powder.
They show 13 grains of Power Pistol as the load for this ammo. It would seem to be way much for a 190- grain bullet especially a LONG SOLID COPPER which will be longer than a lead or lead core bullet!
If I had some I'd do that documentation...

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Brass CBC head stamp.

I found CBC / Magtech primer pockets to be on the tight side with some makes of primers.

My CBC headstamp brass came from Magtech ammo.  I have not had any issues with it.

I just grabbed a handful of brass from the bin.  These have been wet tumbled and sized/decapped.  My handful included 3 CBC, 4 FC, 4 Win, 3 Starline and 3 RP.  I measured them all and the CBC were not in any way outliers.  Primer pockets measured .206" except one RP that came in at .207".  Depth was between .120" (FC) and .125" (RP) with most being .122-.123".  The CBC all measured .122" depth.

About the only thing of note on inspection is the CBC brass did have the three-point stake on the primer pocket.  I don't ever remember having an issue seating primers in this brass.  I have been shooting some newer magtech lately and it is possible I just haven't reloaded any with the staked pockets yet.

Reloading 10mm ammo / Magnum versus standard LP prim...
Last post by 10 Round - July 04 2025 02:17:20 PM MDT
I have some old cci, large pistol magnum. Primers, i've been restocking with new these old primers were dated 97. I was running a hundred of these to see if they were still good, they are.
I'm running nine point seven grain's of aa #7, and I ran them with standard fiocchi, primers and the cci magnum, primers, the magnum primers, leave the brass completely black carbon all over the outside, not as accurate, as the fiocchi, and the fiocchi's leave the brass almost completely clean. Are the primers just too hot for that load of powder and 180gn bullet in a g29 short barrel.?

Does anybody else have any head stamp cbc brass the primer pockets don't seem to be as deep. They seem to be looser in the shell, holder and primers seem to be not Seating uniformly because of the looseness.

Miscellaneous 10mm Firearms / Re: Ruger LC Carbine

After spending a significant amount of time evaluating offerings this week I purchased a Ruger 10MM LC Carbine.  Two big selling points IMO are the compapatability with Glock 20 magazines and secondly, the ability to fold the stock without disabling the firing of the weapon.  I haven't had an opportunity to shoot it yet but will provide some feedback down the road.

One other positive impression was the quality of the owners manual which was around 80 pages and had photos with all the descriptions of all the features and complete disassemble.  Plus they included all the tools to work on the weapon.

The only con so far is the size of the charging handle.  It's relatively small in both diameter and length.  I would prefer an AK like handle but so far haven't found one in the aftermarket.  If anyone knows a source please let me know.  I see they are making them for a PC model but will not fit the LC.

Regards and hope everyone has a great July 4th!
