lol this is exactly what I was afraid of, I seen ammo has started to come down for it from it’s peak is a good thingI 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.

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.i’m just curious if any of you guys have tried it maybe what components/ machine you’ve used and is it worth it?
I have just started loading 5.7x28 - no problem so far - the bullets are a bit small to handle - no issues with the cases other than not having the correct shell holder for my hand primer - but will get that in good time ---- cost =1-spp + 1-22cent bullet and 5gn powder - reasonable enough - but way higher than my cast reloadsi’m just curious if any of you guys have tried it maybe what components/ machine you’ve used and is it worth it?
On a similar note, we reload 32 ACP on a progressive reloader. It ain't easy...Yes and its a pain... Brass was fn, used a single stage O press. The ammo worked, fed and cycled normally.
