So after fighting the reliability of the well used Pro 1000 I was gifted by a generous INGOer, I decided to suck it up and buy a new carrier assembly. Ive been struggling with various issues like the case detector not resetting properly, misfed primers, cases popcorning as they are stripped from the tube, unreliable resets to zero, etc. Ive tried cleaning, lubing, replacing parts, etc. and its still nowhere near reliable to get any decent speeds out of it. If I go slow and do things like encourage the case detector to reset on each round, it works. But its tedious. It makes me feel like an octopus in a strip club I'm touching the thing so much. (pull the lever, guide the case, nudge the detector, nudge a case, tap the powder hopper, etc) Its far from the intended "pull the lever and place a bullet on the filled case" situation.
So with the carrier I went ahead and bought a 223 shell plate to start loading up some heavier rifle rounds to save on shipping. What is INGO's suggestion for a powder that measures well, and will push the 77gr projectiles?
And on a side note, I thought 77s were the largest out there for the 223 Remington. I'm seeing as large as 90s? really? Is there room in the case? That seems like a lot of bullet for that case.
