Xanatos903 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 They all look good to me. Maybe some slight cratering, and infrequent primer flattening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to chrono your load in your gun. This is especially important in major PF. I had a load at 174PF that I chronoed with a different gun and came up with 186PF, quite a difference.

Victor_R Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks. I ended up at 6.5 to make 172-174 PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 I tested CFE and autocomp of the same PF back to back doing things like bill drills and Blake drill. I couldn't tell them apart. Seemed identical. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banacek Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Not sure how I am getting higher velocities for lower powder amounts with a standard OAL Edited September 11, 2017 by Banacek Adding load data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Banacek. Don't know why your results are different. My load is Montana Gold 125hp, oal 1.150 CFE Pistol 7.6 gr. shot in 2 identical STI DVC OPEN's. My avg velocity the last time I tested was 1436fps. Temp was in mid 80's. Shot Illinois Sectional on Aug 13th and match chrono measured at 1443fps so I'm pretty confident in my data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banacek Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I know a few autocomp users up here and they are loading 7.0 to 7.2 grains but I do not have their chrono data. Now I am curious about the data and want to verify again. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consistently get 1400 fps (+- 20) I like the way my gun shoots at this PF, I've gone up and down from this load and always come back to this. Funny thing is that CFE Pistol and Autocomp are almost identical at lower levels (minor PF, up to about 150), I can switch between the two powders, not change the setting on my powder drop and get the exact same weight and the exact same velocity over the chrono, but when I go into major PF, the CFE pistol doesn't feel the same as the AC, nothing that I can pinpoint with chrono, just feels less "smooth".

echotango Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) 121MG w/7.0 wac @ 1.165 gets me 170-171pf(1410fps) with 2 guns. Both have 3 holes. I liked it a little better at 174pf but after a cracked slide I backed it down Edited September 12, 2017 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am loading to oal of 1.160 and your load is shorter and has more powder. I am wondering if you are not burning all your powder, did you test at lower amounts? I am also curious what your primers look like after shooting. I will take some pictures this weekend of my brass, I don't pick it up like I used to with my 38 super! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banacek Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I have to amend this data. I have been using small RIFLE primers for my loads not knowing that some people consider these to be similar to MAGNUM primers. I am not sure about that but that could be part of the increased velocities for my loads. I have new data using small pistol primers (I was going to to confirm this data but it did not turn out that way. Now, I will do some specific testing with Small Pistol primers and small Rifle primers to check these results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
