Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I'm hoping someone here can help w/ my SP-01 tactical w/ CGW carry package installed (2 yrs ago). Headed out for a range session today and dryfired a few times prior to loading a mag. Then I tried to rack the slide and it wouldn't. I was able to move it enough to remove the slide from the frame but still can't pull the trigger or operate the hammer. I'm not seeing anything obvious. What shoud I be inspecting? Thank you in advance, Bruce
  2. I have a 1K of SNS 135G I want to load for the X5. Do you have any load data on the bullet weight? If so....any thoughts on accuracy w/ same bullet weight? Thanks in advance,Bruce
  3. I asked Country Attic if they could order some, and they found it listed in the Aliant catalogue, but their min. order is 10#'s. Unless they have other requests...I don't think this will happen since they'd never heard of it.
  4. For anyone interested, Country Attic has N320 in stock (2lbs) as of Saturday afternoon. They have almost all Allaint powder too but no Sport Pistol. Have a great weekend. Bruce
  5. Thanks Ken, I asked them to order some and they said they'd call me when it's in. I'll let you know if that happens.
  6. Thanks Sarge, that's where I usually go but they're out of N320.
  7. Where do folks in Cincinnati locally purchase your powders? Thanks in advance, Bruce
  8. Yes, I noticed it just the other day. A fellow shooter also commented that it is hotter (higher pressure because of the alum. case?) than other brands but that's good if your training....it's closer to a carry round so recoils is more similar. I had no trouble running it thru 2 glock 19's and CZ clone and at $8/ box it's affordable.
  9. I think I read somewhere that if the bullet is truly tumbling, your velocity may be too low for your barrel. Try upping the powder charge (using a Chrono) to see if that helps. Also be sure to have cardboard behind the target to support the paper or the holes will look like a tumbling bullet. The best luck I've had so far is w/ SNS 135g coated behind 3.8g of N320 at 1.135 in a CZ. Good luck.
  10. You may try swapping barrels to see if it follows the gun. Only other difference is the recoil spring. I have a gen4 that does this. Had several people shoot it and tried several brands of ammo but still the same results (high left). Swapped barrels and it improved so I bought a KKM barrel but still not as good as my gen3's.
  11. I'm running the 11# spring as well. I've installed all Cajun production legal parts including that spring. Nothing wrong w/ HP38 (W231 same powder), I only started w/ it because I'm new to reloading and folks recommended it as a good universal powder and it would be hard to double charge based on volume required. I only switched because I heard such good things about N320 and ran across it locally (no hazmat fee) so I gave it a try. I do like how N320 meters on my Dillon 550 sq. deal! Once you work up some loads, test for velocity vs. accuracy. I think you'll find that IDescribe was right on the money. You'll probably get the best accuracy ~137ish PF. You can go lighter, but I don't know that you'll really be able to tell a difference in felt recoil so why not be as accurate as possible. Good luck!
  12. Mike, I just went thru this exercise w/ an SP-01. My barrel my be slower down here in Cincy vs. Cleveland (lol), but it required 4.0g of HP38 to get good groupings. I've since switched to 3.8g to VV N320 (just a tad hotter) because I feel it meters more accurately. Like IDescribe indicated, target a higher PF, CZ's like faster rounds to be accurate. My most accurate load has a 137PF at 1.13 OAL behind 135g SNS bullets.
  13. Thanks everyone! This helps tremendously.
  14. Thanks Taroman, 3.8g's got me to your numbers exactly out of a CZ, just wondering how much is too much! I ran 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9g. 3.9 felt/shot the best, not sure if I should try going hotter to see if accuracy improves or do you base the best load on min ES/StDev?
