Noob Handgun Reloading (Straight Wall Revolver)

Ready to try some handgun loads in the offseason--I've got my rifle rounds pretty well squared away.

Was setting up for 44 Mag according to instructions (Redding Dies). The seating die was "crushing" my brass (luckily I had some hold brass and was practicing with dummy rounds).

Instructions were to screw the die all the way down to get the roll crimp. But after some crushed brass and some "wtf cursing" I ended up backing off the die a good 2 turns--it seems the crimp comes pretty "early" and I had to back the die WAAAAY out (4-5 turns) to get my seating with no crimp. Is this normal? Dillon 550/Redding dies. I know Hornady does this as well but since I dont crimp rifle, I just back the SOB off (and 1 turn is fine) and get the seating right. But 44 mag--different beast.

TLDR, instructions say screw it down for roll crimp, I found I needed to back off 2 turns to get a proper crimp and not crush brass--Dangerous or not?

Thx.

What is a good receiver set to do an AR10 build with?

So I have done a few ar10 builds in the past, 2 using Aero Precision m5 lowers, and 1 using an LMT lower. I have a VSeven Harbinger receiver set that I will be doing a build with later this year in October, but for right now, I want to do a new build and I want to try out a new ar10/lr308 receiver set.

What receiver sets would you recommend? I've looked at SLR, Zev/MegaMaten, NEMO, and Noveske, but I'm open to other suggestions. I wouldn't mind doing another LMT build but I'm looking to work with something new.

Form 1 question...

Hey all,
Have a form 1 question. I've done a few but they were "domestic". SBRing my B&T APC9SD and I am little confused on what was correct to put for the manufacturer. It was manufactured by B&T AG in Thun, Switzerland (laser etched on the upper which is the seralized part) but imported by B&T USA LLC which is roll marked on the barrel which is also serialized but removable so I am leaning towards Brugger and Thomet, Switzerland but maybe it should be both? I am in full on paralysis by analysis so I wanted to ask folks who have done this more than me. Not sure if I should let it ride or nuke the form and start over. Thank you for the help!

R700 R7SAUM

Have a few questions about a project I am working on. Before anyone says to get custom action , I have custom actions but for this I am specifically going old school R700 .
I am doing Mack bros bolt in a trued receiver with a remage style barrel.
Questions:
Would there be any cons to using a stainless receiver? Would it have more difficulty trueing or issues with work hardening? Would lapping lugs be wierd being a harder material on the receiver than the bolt?
What is the point of bolt face truing and is it even necessary?
If I go remage it shouldn’t matter the thickness of the recoil lug, so is there a size that would be best for my 7saum build if it’s not necessary for specific headspace?
Only truing I plan on doing is what’s necessary to fit aftermarket bolt and squaring face and recoil lug up before barrel install, as well as polishing raceways.
Whole thing is getting cerakoted when complete.
Is there anything else I can/should do to make this a nice build?

Timney alpha trigger for large frame glock trigger safety problem

Hi guys,

I install the timney trigger on my Glock 21. The trigger pull is beautiful!

Upon using I notice that the trigger safety even without pressing it will fire .

I left message and email Timney but they never got back to me. I'm just afraid if I accidentally drop the pistol that it might go off. Its been 2 weeks so far nothing from Timney.

Maybe you guys who experience same problem can help find a remedy
