still getting these dented cases!
for some reason the last 50 reloads i've done are still getting dented when i'm testing to see if they chamber in my desert eagle. i'm pretty much hearing 2 clicks as the slide is shutting and its...

I think that if search the forums a bit you'll find that these marks are more or less normal.

I think your friend is either inexperienced with the 50 or full of beans. Off hand at 100 yards I find it to be accurate.
View ArticleRe: still getting these dented cases!
The 50 does not have the flatest shooting scenario for sure, but then it is putting out a very heavy bullet. One of the reasons I have gone to the 440 and moving a 240/260 grainer at a fast pace, and...

those loads i make for my 50 are all 300 gr. they cycle with no problem at all, other than the occasional feeding jam, but i dont blame that on the bullets weight. strong, yet manageable recoil. i...

MJ, I just bought some IMR4227, was going to test it and 2400, on some of the loads. Glad to read that you are shooting the 300 grs and they work the action well. I think the fire ball would be huge,...
View ArticleRe: still getting these dented cases!
well the 4227 is a fairly slow burning powder. i'm sure you wont be disappointed by the flame. i'm not sure if its my video camera or not, but the fireball i'm getting from lil'gun doesnt seem to be...

called a mr. bob the tech guy at mri today and he said that it could possibly be a problem with my recoil springs. he asked for my address and serial number and they are on their way!
View ArticleRe: still getting these dented cases!
yeah, really. they didnt even need to look at the gun and i didnt even send in a registration card. they just wanted me to be happy with my product and sent the springs. i bought the desert eagle for...

when you have a co, that backs up their product it just makes that more fun and enjoyable.
View ArticleRe: still getting these dented cases!
MJ, That is nice! I bought a set of backups (whole assembly) so, if needed to switch, see if that is the problem I'd have them...Not used as of yet! Looking forward to an update when you install them....
View ArticleRe: still getting these dented cases!
no, i did not mention that i was shooting the plated bullet. i figured if i said something like that and gave him my serial number it'd be blacklisted.

welp folks. i called on monday and the springs arrived here today. i changed out the springs and viola absolutely ZERO marks on my brass when chambering! this is one very satisfied magnum research...
View ArticleRe: still getting these dented cases!
Judging by the way you were able to release the slide with your thumb, I'd say the springs were weak.
View ArticleRe: still getting these dented cases!
they must have been. i'm just glad that with all you guys' help and getting these new springs my eagle is up to par! think i'm gonna go shoot it tomorrow...
