MKitzmiller Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Iv'e been searching the forums for 9mm major load data for an open gun. Can anyone who's shooting Autocomp and 124's please share some recipes? If this is something already addressed, (99.9% sure it is) can someone please steer me in the right direction? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 7.1 or 7.2 will be pretty common. I typed autocomp in the search window and got 1000 results. You'll have to read through things but there are many many WAC recipes on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to read through things but there are many many WAC recipes on here Sarge, I must confess that the W in WAC wasn't registering in my mind as Winchester. Now that I feel like a total jack ass.. Winchester Autocomp.. Eureka! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKitzmiller Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Ran my gun @ 6.8, 6.9, and 7.0 of WAC @ 1.163-1.165. ALL too long. Anyone else running a CK open have that issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) I have a FGW. Different barrel, but I run at 1.163-1.165". No issues. Any longer and it looks like they will hit the front of the mag as I run spacers. Also no issues in another 2011. Why too long? What is the issue?

MKitzmiller Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 I thought it was just the initial gun break in when the first round of most every mag didn't chamber 100%. The last round I racked in exposed a 1/4" or so shy of the slide to frame relationship. I gripped the slide and hit the grip to clear the round. The bullet remained in the barrel and the case ejected, (along with 7 gr of WAC).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKitzmiller Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm very much a proponent of a good crimp. These rounds definitely have a smooth crimp. Didn't chamber check... That's what I get for getting too excited and not following protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they get good and stuck they often separate if you work at it.What bullet again? If it's 1/4" from closing something is bad wrong. Check for a case sheared off in the chamber. Inspect the chamber for other obstructions. Email or call Bobby and let him know what's going on Edited June 24, 2016 by Sarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler2you Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 It could be that your barrel needs to be throat reamed. Sounds like one of your bullets got jammed into the rifling and pulled free from the case when you racked the slide. Take a loaded round and do the "plunk" test. The round should drop completely into the chamber and rotate freely. If the case rim extends past the barrel hood or the round won't rotate, you need to have your throat reamed for the OAL and bullet profile that you're using. If that's the case and you're comfortable doing it yourself, you can buy a throat reamer from Pacific Tool or Manson for under $75. Otherwise, I've heard that Matt Cheely will do it for around $40 if you send him your barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
