    Ok I finally go to the range today to test some new additions to the collection and Some test rounds as well as some new mags Here are the results.


    180 Series Mini-14 from Lou at Shooters Discount:
    I am in love. What a nice firearm. Worked like a champ. Took what ever i loaded either brass remington 223 or Tula steel. No issues.

    Mags:
    4 mags from CDNN (surplus @$9 bucks each) no issue fed well
    3 20 round mags picked up at auction. Korean I think. Mixed results. Will need some tweeking or just scrap them.


    Ruger 10/22 in Muzzlelite Bull-Pup:
    Both banana mags and ruger stock with metal and plastic lips
    No issues.
    Hard to sight in with red dot added to rail. (took it off after trip)
    Mixed ammo. No issues.

    Ruger 10/22 with aftermarket reciever
    Same results. No issue. worked flawlessly. In wooden stock iron sights.

    P64 with lighter spring added:
    No issue with factory or Luger trimmed rounds. One FTF and it was the factory round. Dead on at 25 ft with both ammos.

    Remington 1100 that i picked up at show for $150 bucks. No mods
    Fair condition. Blueing pretty rough. Chip in stock at but plate.
    Slug and shot rounds. Would not take 1st round from tube with bolt action. But once first round loaded cycled just fine. Will have to investigate further

    Glock 23 no mods:
    Tested factory ammo as well as HP and RN reloads I made.
    No issue went through 8 mags. (just what you expect from glock)

    All my pistol reloads are using Win231 powder with a mix of CCI, Tula, and Winchester primers. Cast, Plated and Jacketed rounds.
