It's the kind of metal that is important. Most of the knives you find at a grocery or big box store just aren't very good.

I use a Spyderco or Victorinox Santoku knife almost all the time, the thin blade sharpens quickly and takes a sharp edge.
I'm still using a professional set made by Chicago Cutlery that I bought in 1978, when they were still USA made.

I had the same issue, trying to sharpen hard steel blades until I bought one of these, by Spyderco. Coarse and fine ceramic stones and guards to prevent an accidental finger amputation.
They do a great job and, in my case, idiot proof!
In fact in the 40+ years I've owned it, I STILL have all my finger.
Intact!

Best sharpener ever made
Clean the stones with Commet

Not saying they might not be nice, but $1000+ ? I guess if you have that kind of extra money it's okay, but many of us don't. That's the price of a cowboy gun.
How many duplicate SASS 'toys' do you have?

I think I have found the issue, the slide hook seems to be broken. (See video)
That's it, good find!

Nope.. but I’m still gonna do the extra 1/2 turn you suggested..
I have the rifle torn apart now on my cleaning bench..
It’s only got about 3 maybe 4 matches on it since
last falls (that’s when our season ends here) deep cleaning which I do at the end of every season
Don't 'fix' what ain't broke.
Go with a total of 3/4 turn and run it.....

I wish I could say I was going faster.. I ain’t ..
been shootin SASS matches since 2003 when I was 55.. I was my fastest
in my early 60’s with the help of a guy by the name “Spur”..
He taught me correctly.. engrained me with good habits..
I’m 77 now.. ain’t as competitive now.. slowed down a lot..
Don’t think I’m outrunning the the lever.. but thanks for yer info
LG.. when I do my deep cleaning tonight are you saying turn the straining screw in another 1/2 turn? Already turned it in 3/4 turn..
Abilene.. already called Joe at Pioneer.. still waiting for a callback..
Still wondering if a standard Hammer Spring will work ok with the super short stroke..
Thanks for yer input guys..
I still think Null N. Void hit the nail on the head..
Did you still have FTF with the 3/4 turn?

Looks outstanding

Nope.. I’ll check it out tonight.. thanks..
Make sure you primers are seated below the case head.
Turn the hammer spring tension screw in 1/2 turn.
Check ALL screws for tightness.....

No I have not fired it yet, I will soon though.
Live fire it with factory trap loads and post results.

Time for a deep cleaning.
Are you using the leaf type hammer spring?
If so, was it ground down at all?

No it wasn’t, it was fired in another gun. The shell slides into the chamber easily. I’ll have to try it with an unfired shell, I was just afraid to do that.
Just do it in the back yard.
Fired shell from another gun is not the best way to test.
If you reload SG ammo, just resize the fired case.
I don't recall, have you fired this SG yet?

No it doesn’t, it’s definitely harder to open when trying to eject a shell though.
Looks like you may have a headspace issue.
Does it hangup ejecting an unfired factory round?
The fired case you used in the video, was it fired in that shotgun?
-

Does it hang up with an empty chamber?

Excellent videos!
Hey, Outlaw Gambler......

WW231/HP38(same powder) would work well. Start in the middle of the load range a use a firm roll-crimp.

Really? I can buy 350 rounds of .22 for 23.95 , I can’t reload my .38’s that cheap and factory .38’s are way more expensive,
We have no trouble with timers hearing .22’s they can be adjusted and you just need to get the timer close enough for the rifle. Heck, some .38’s don’t always get picked up by the timer!
Been a good spell since I bought primers, powder or bullets. Think we were still in Commiefornia then. Moved the Missouri in 2019.
I really stocked up on components years ago just as the prices started go'n nutz.
My favorite powder(Unique)you can't even buy now.

CCI standard velocity $3.50-4.00 per 50 in cardboard box, they are actually more like $8.50-9 if you buy the 100 count in the plastic container
All I see here in Missouri is the 100 pk.
Why I asked.
