Ok, thanks. Dd not see gun club hulls.

Powder, amount, wad type, primer brand?

Since the pistol has popple holes you may need (unless already installed) a blast deflector. This will help keep the optic glass clean.

Does anyone have loads for green Remington gun club 12ga hulls? 1 and 1/8 oz and 1 oz loads? Have a bunch and cannot seem to find data on Hogdon's loading tables site.

I do circuit training Mon-Fri to help with grip strength, muscle tone, etc. Also lighter weights, repetively, to strengthen deltoids, bicepts, etc. Have started barre pilates which helps flexability. At end of workout sit in sauna for about 15 minutes which I believe helps with heat tolerance. At matches when hot, drink at least one bottle of water per stage to prevent dehydration. If very hot also drink some type of electrolyte drink. Found that these procedures help shooting ability.

A 124 grain delta precision or montana gold bullet with about 10.2 or so grains of accurate #7 at about 1390 fps would peobably do it with a 38 super. Mine shoots very flat out to 75, do not know drop at 100 yds. Try it.

In my 38super open gun I use precision delta or montana gold jacked bullets because of the velocity- about 1400fps. Higher velocity does not affect the jacket on these bullets. Also they are accurate at the longer stage distances. For my 40S&W limited gun and 9mm I use coated bullets due to the lower velocity- in the 900's fps-they are also less expensive. If a stage requires a 50+ yard shot I will use a jacketed bullet since I believe they are more accurate at longer ranges. The old adage here- you get what you pay for.

I had one on my 38 super open pistol. Shut down and or blinked randomly after a while. Sent it back to c-more. They replaced the circuit board at no cost and returned it quickly. Problem solved.

Think I will buy at least one since I have three STI pistols that are aging and used heavily. Thanks for the information.

Have you measured the mag dimensions? If not this might be a helpful thing to do.

Your pic looks like it is corn cobb media blocking the flash from the primer- powder also looks like it contains corn cobb material. Maybe the case was still damp and contained corn cobb media before loading with powder- try drying out the cases for a longer period of time and vigorously shaking the corn cobb media out of the cases when dry.

I would throw it out if it did not come in an "officially labelled " powder container. Too risky even though many powders are hard to get these days. Would not want to blow up my gun using a powder that I could not positively identify.
