I have a DELTA ELITE, 10 mm HIGH POLISH,SS 5" govt, DSXXXXE, bought it new somewhere in 2002 to 2008? Knew nothing about supported,unsupported
just it is a Colt Delta Elite, was ordered by LGS took 10 days to come in. Read book, took apart,cleaned preservative lubed it BF DRIP DRY,
bought Corbon ammo,135,150,165 and 180, mixed them up 2 in each mag, bought xtra mags, fired first round at 15 yds,BE, second same moved out to
30 yrd,blasted away all mags,accuracy unbelievable for new gun,trigger almost no creep,light break, perfect new gun, never happened to me before. Picked up all empty cases,was alone at end of indoor range. Not a hickup,burp,just perfect feed accuracy, 135 hit higher 1-2 inches normal.
Home,using micrometer checked for any bulge not a drop, mice accurate to 5/10K.
Bought extra light springs for target about 600fps,made knock downs other springs,etc, broke in a few matches was really broken in I thought.
My barrel supports the case all around except by the tiny feed area on the barrel. Lee

14 GT-500

I also have a Delta Elite that I bought Dec 22 of 2015 and eats up anything that I feed it without a hitch.That gun now has about 900 rounds put through it from hot Underwood ammo to the Rem stuff, which I think is about  the mid range loads, to my hand loads. Only one load showed any high pressure signs and that was Underwood's 155gr, I shot over a box of that stuff and only 3 casing had the smiley face's on them. And the gun is dam accurate to boot.
