I tried it but gave up on it. A lacquer coating on the cases, very sensitive to powder charges to run the pistol (fn). Never could get the pistol to run reliably with reloads. Sold the whole mishmash of pistol and components, dies etc to a friend who claimed he could get it right. 6 months later he called cussing and he just said he sold the package to someone else. That pistol and caliber isn’t reloaded friendly imho!

Pistol ran fine with ANY factory ammo I shot in it.

Regards,

i’m just curious if any of you guys have tried it maybe what components/ machine you’ve used and is it worth it?
Yes and its a pain... Brass was fn, used a single stage O press. The ammo worked, fed and cycled normally. Case lube and leverage is very important because the case walls are thick. Primer powder and projectile per the reloading manual.
