Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Pass-Thru Sizing using LEE FCD

Well, I am almost embarssed to say I got my complete set up for $100.  Friends in need are friends indeed!

Alan is great people.  His shop is in my beat.  In fact, I am sitting in his parking lot as I type this.  I have his recoil reducers in my 4506, and 1006, buffer springs in both my AR carbines, He inistalled the night sights on two of my pistols, he has cryo treated 3 barrels for me, and his "Machinegunner's lube" is REALLY slick stuff.

I don't mind giving a plug to a good person, turning out a good product.

I have a Magma Case Master.  Pass through sizing from base to mouth.  Case feeder simply slides back and forth to feed cases into place.  Carbide dies to iin 9mm, .40/10/.357 Sig/9 X 25 and .45 ACP.  I run everything through it before normal resizing/decapping.

Absolutely no issues after 3 years.

I use a Lyman 2 cavity 90 gr RN.  Works like a champ

I will definately go with the 6" barrel in 9 X 25.  My buddy Alan at Sprinco has a sweet set up especially for that set up.  I need to get to the range and wring out the new barrel.

I shelved my 1006 last year and picked up a Gen 3 G-20C.  I wanted a higher capacity duty gun with light rail and the GLock was the only choice on my agency's approved weapons list.

The compensated factory set up is SWEET!  Less felt recoil than most poly framed 40's I have shot.  Almost immediately I saw the possibilities in this gun.  I got LW barrels in .40, .357 Sig and 10mm (so I can shoot my dirt cheap cast loads).  All barrels work flawlessly after about 50 rounds of break in.  The .40 even works with the light bullet Speer RHT (green) ammo required on our qual range.

Duty ammo is Winchester Silver tip which chronos an honest 1290 fps out of the factory barrel.

After seeing the successes with the LW barrels, I just ordered the 6" 9mm barrel, 11 lb recoil spring and stainless steel guide rod.  This will be capable of handling most any "battle field pick up" ammo.  Next on the horizon are the .38 Super barrel and the 9 X 25.  I just HAVE to have the Dillon round to scare the kids in the next county.  Soon will be a .45 ACP slide assembly/mags to complete the 7 caliber gun.  I see little need for the .400 Cor Bon or .40 Super as they do not do anything the 10 mm can't do better.
