I had good luck with Prima V, consistent and reasonably accurate. Too bad I am out...

MBX is marginally reliable, and when it jams during a stage, it breaks the bottom of the Glock mag and sends parts and ammo everywhere: a$100 mag change because your $85 mag failed...

I find a 12# too light. Sometimes on reloads the slide will go just out of battery, so I went back to factory.

I second cleaning the mags. All I have are 32 rounders, some with the TF plus 10 extension. The mags get pretty dirty.

Brazos Bullets

Another 200 rounds shot at a match this weekend. No issues with the gun— just the idiot pulling the trigger.

Brazos bullets. Abuot $.05 for 125 coated. I just picked up a sample pack they are as accurate as Xtreme 124 HP’s, got the same velocity in my pistol as the Xtremes, and 50 fps more in a 9mm AR 16” barrel.

I have had FTF’s with factory ammo too. Yes there was a time when I had an issue with high primers, but think it’s resolved. I shot a match today with no failures. The new striker spring seems to take out some of the mush from the factory trigger. so for the record: 200 rounds in testing/training with a single FTF, one match ~135 rounds with zero FTF’s.

Yep. It did not reliably go into battery with the reduced power recoil spring. I test fired it today, but not really enough to know how much more reliable it is. Plan on shooting a match next week though.

I got the Wolff springs today. I have not installed yet, but the package says not to use with reduced power recoil springs. Is this an issue? I swap back and forth with the factory spring and a 12 lb spring.

How much weight does the poly guide rod save?

Thanks! I will try one.

I have occasional ftf’s with the factory striker assembly on my M&P’s. Is there a sronger striker spring available? Wolff only sems to make reduced power springs. I have ftf’s with my handloads using CCI primers and factory ammo as well. I have about 10,000 CCI’s left. I intend to switch to WSP’s when I exhaust my CCI’s.

I have run a 12# spring on mine, but it will sometimes go out of battery on reloading a full magazine, so I went back to factory for reliability. The issue I have with the factory spring is it is it is not 100% reliable with my 125 pf loads...

Review of this powder for 9mm? How does it meter? Are the throws consistent? How clean does it burn? How smoky is it? I have really enjoyed Prima V, but it looks like that’s all gone for now. Guest’s load data looks quite similar to my PV load data...

Grafs only charges $10 hazmat, and $7.95 shipping. If you want anything besides Winchester primers, it is more economical to buy from them. I like Midway, but their specials are pretty restrictive ....

Where is your slide stop?

Do these short reach triggers take away any of the single action pretravel? I am totally new to double action pistols, I was hoping for something more like a revolver...

Digging up an old thread. I am wanting a short reach trigger, which is the better one; CZC or CGW?

In the smae boat. My research has shown CZ Custom seems to have a slight edge over Cajun Gunworks, but I haven’t seen any objective reason to pick one over the other. As for the optics, more of the same personal preference over objective rationale to get any particular optic for the CZ. I like how low the RMR and Sig Romeo1 on the slide. The Sig has a rear sight cut into its body, but it has a reputation for being unreliable. That said my RM01 on my M&P CORE has been fairly unrelable as well...

Where is the best place to get rpthese mag extensions?

I use both Pro 1000 and Dillon 650. I have run about the same number of 9mm through both; about 10,000. The dillon is no faster for me, but you can just run straight through when you fail to decap a crimped primer. I have had just as many high primer seating problems with the 650 as I ever had with the Pro 1000 too. But I have been sort out the seating issue with the 650. I keep two Pro 1000’s around: one for 223 and one for .38 spl. The 223 would be faster on a the Dillon, but would still require two passes...

Try disassembling the mags and giving them a good, thorough cleaning. Gheye is a lot of carbon and debris that comes out of a 9mm upper. The magazines are not taperes, so this build up inside the straight wall magazines can cause resistance.

Since it looks like Prima V is all gone, at least for now, I am looking at SV for a replacement. For those who have loaded bith, hiw does Prima SV compare to Prima V? The threads I have read and load data I have seen indicate a fairly comparable starting load. How does SV meter compared to V? How much case volume for SV vs V? Thanks for any input.

PPU. Primers don’t seat at all for me on my 650.
