In law enforcement we are trained to make contact shots while applying pressure to the back of the slide. This will keep the gun from going out of battery. Use either your palm or thumb whatever the situation dictates. Just don't forget to manually cycle the slide for follow up shots. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I had the same issue on my 3gen glock 22. I didn't put in the screw at first but I started having problems with the insert backing out while shooting and it wouldn't let me seat the mags. I ended up drilling and tapping a new hole and using a set screw to keep it in. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

So I am going to slug the barrel and see what is really happening in that department. So say it measures .403 at the groves, should I size to that or under? Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2

Leas327... Are you measuring your lube by weight or volume? Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2

Also I forgot to mention I have shoot this bullet with a 3.1 gr load of clays for minor and I have little to no leading. I switched to W231 because of the pressure concerned if clays in a major load. I have the following powders to try. Clays W231 Power pistol Unique Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2

Thank you for the replies. I am sizing the bullets to .401. I am using an after market barrel. I have not slugged my barrel. Harder bullets are not always better. A harder bullet can cause the base not to obturate allowing gas to sneak by and cause gas cutting thus causing leading. The straight wheel weights should be plenty hard for the approx 950 fps I'm pushing the bullet. Although I have some that I have water dropped I have yet to try them out. From what I have read over at castbullets.com water dropping only lasts a finite time, eventually they will soften back up, any experience with this? Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2

So I am new to shooting USPSA, just started last year and have been trying to find a good cast load. Here is what I am loading. 4.6 grains of W231 behind a 180 grain cast pill. Usually with a CCI primer. The bullets are cast by me from the Lee 175 grain truncated cone mould. After lubing and sizing they weight out to be 180. I am casting using straight clip on wheel weights. I then lube and size them through a Star sizer using Thompsons Blue Angel lube. I am shooting a Glock 22 with Storm lake barrel, and this load is making at right about 170 PF, I am shooting limited. I have read that using a fast powder like W231 with lead can cause problems with leading. Has anyone else seen this happen? So to help keep from burning through components I was hoping to get some help with what might put an end to some horrific leading I have been having. I am not looking to change from cast bullets. I have more time than money and I like casting anyway. Cant see spending cash on bullets when I have a source of near free lead. Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 2
