Getting these to funtion

farinacci56 · 03-31-2015, 09:47 AM

I have loaded up some 115 SWC hollow points with a near max load of 4756- I still have a few pounds. Since she is 100 5 with factory it's gotta be me who made the ammo. We will see. For oal I used some orig . German WW2 ammo. The oal is 1. 175

I have a very nice reblued 1906 American Eagle in 7.65 that is so accurate it is scary. Shoots like my M 52 S & W at 25 yards. The function is perfect except sometimes the toggle doesn't close just short of battery. This might happen say 5-10 times out of 50 I put a new mainspring in. Any ideas? regards Michael

Hi Michael, I have found that the slightest drag on the fit between the receiver rails and the frame rail relief, will cause it not to close consistently... It usually has to be smooth as glass thru the length of recoil, thru return to battery... super fine lapping will cure it up....

One thing that I always consider on the 7.65Para(30 luger) is the shoulder on the brass. Be sure that your sizing die is fully down and that it is setting the shoulder back far enough. I was having a problem with this, and removed .015-.020in. off of the base of the sizing die(via lathe) to remedy the problem. Compare your handloads to factory new 7.65 ammo as to where they sit in the chamber(with the toggle train removed). Hold the barrel vertical and drop the ammo into the chamber. Just a thought.
