Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. East Alabama you can shoot matches around Atlanta, Montgomery, Columbus Ga, Florida( 3 to 4 hours away), Birmingham al. Probable North Alabama as well. Should be no problem locating some land to buy for horses but you may have to improve it . Property tax lowest in nation I think . Google steel matches to be sure there are enough for you. We like conservative gun people.
  2. I would not worry about that variation. Remember your scale is only accurate to +- .1 grain so some of that could be from measurement as well
  3. Your expander in your powder die may be too large . 4 or 5 thousandths less than bullet diameter is what I shoot for bit at least 3 thousandths.
  4. Dfox could you run an rcbs lockout die (powder check) with your bullet feeder? Is the priming system as reliable as the 650s? thanks dogdoc
  5. The one thing I like about my two 650s is the primer mechanism . I never have problems with them. The primer mechanism on my 550s is usually what gives me grief but it usually from debris from the depriming. Anybody actually run a new 750?

  7. The plug gauges are for specific degrees(5 degree for example ). I find often the plug gauges are swallowed by the factory cuts.(factory cuts are often very deep.) I don’t think you can recut an existing cone all the way to rifling so that all the old cone is gone without being deeper than the brownells plug gauges. The only way I could cut with the plug gage was to set a barrel back. I do not think most worry about the plug gauges when they recut a new cone. You just want to make sure the old cone is cut away so you do not have a compound angle. There is a good write up on Ruger forum.net in the library section by a gunsmith on it and also a recent post in the gunsmithing section relating to this. Worth checking it out.
  8. Going to order some 147 and maybe some 160s at 357. Got plenty of 231, sport pistol, titegroup and just about everything but very n320.
  9. Thanks just the info I was looking for. I may need to get some 160 grain to try.
  10. I recently picked up a new Smith 929 9 mm revolver and am having trouble getting any loads that will group less than 4 or 5 inches at 25 yards. I have read a lot of old threads but few have any actual loads listed or actual rested groups achieved at 25 yards. My throats are uniform .357 so I purchased some eggleston munitions 124 grain coated sized .357 and have tried some loads with 231 and cfe pistol but no luck yet. I mounted a 4 x leupold on-the revolver temporarily to assist with load testing to eliminate my poor eyesight . I want some thing that will group around 2 inches for all 8 shots at 25 yards. If anybody has some combinations that will do that, please tell me and I will try some in my revolver. I have multiple powders but no vv at this time. I can buy some if I have to. I used to shoot uspsa with revolver some 12 or 15 years ago with a 625 and it took a while to find loads with that one. I have been shooting limited with a 40 sti this year no thought about trying revolver again for the hell of it. The revolver seems put together nicely but he’ll if I can get it to group off a rest. Thanks dogdoc
  11. Do not really think it is any cleaner than titegroup . A lot of residue is from bullets I think. I am using blue bullets and really like them as they seem to feed real well in my sti
  12. Egw undersized sizer die(Lee) and lee factory crip die with Blue 180 grain 40 bullets run great in two sti 2011s my son and I shoot. Use both, they are cheap insurance .
  13. Good data in the sierra manual for 180s with n320 and wst
  14. Just went and shot . The 4.5 grain of wst load with 180 blue bullets definitely felt softer than 4.5 grains of titegroup with the same bullet. I will go with wst for now. Shot some decent 20 yard groups with the wst as well
