Sig Black special question

[THT]

My Sig dents all the shell casings in the same spot approx 5/8 inch up from the base.
Any ideas on the cause?

 

[HeadDamage]

The rifle is the cause... the PE90's all do it.

PE 90's aren't known for being a reloaders friend. Seems to be the only negative though.

 

[cybershooters]

Yep, they hit the receiver during the ejection cycle.

Is it a big dent? Is it comparable to say a 7600? My dad's 7600 does that to the 30-06 casings. Would that prevent you from reloading it?I'd think it would just be re-fireformed the next time its fired, no?

My Blacky does it as well, and is it really worth the time to reload with ammo as cheap as it is, combined with the fact that a good day consists of a few hundred rounds?

 

[Speckfire]

If you can afford a Sig PE90 then you can afford the ammo

 

[pitdogboy]

Mine also bashes the brass up pretty bad.

 

[X-man]

Mine does too

 

[Tarn]

Seem to smack the cases pretty hard.....i seem to remember the AK's do this too.

My PE90 does the same.

223's only cheap if you shoot FMJ. VMAX varmint loaded ammo is expensive.

 

[promac]

Yep, mine too! Never has a cycling problem though! +++

 

[Armament]

I wonder if a good rubber (or something similar to cushion) case deflector would make a difference? I use a small piece of velcro that doesn't do much in the way of being merciful to the brass.

On the other hand it's amusing to watch the AR180-b and ar15 drop casings a few feet away while the sig sends them a good distance.
