I have run these all day long in an STI 2011, STI 1911, Glock (short OAL 1.085) at 3.8 to 4.3 at 1140 in a 124 grain and 121g, my logs show the Montana Gold 124g JHPs were set at 3.9 of V320 at 1.100 OAL and shorter in the Glock to 1.080 at the same charge. Chrono for match loads of course, hope this helps.

Longshot makes a lot of gas and lower powder drops to make major..it is loud but flat..I run it it in my PCC..N 105 for minor (Steel) and major Tru Blue are my go to choices after trying 6 or 7 diff powders. Your gun bullet config will determine which powder keeps the dot movement minimal.

Lee U die for knocking any glocked brass bulge out

Kick that TG up to 3.1 and test chrono the PCC.

I built 2 PCCs one has a Wilson barrel the backup has a KAW..at the same time my buddy built his with a KAW barrel too...after testing 8-9 diff powders we settled on WST & Longshot, the dramatic challenge was the KAW barrel ran 200 fps on average faster than the Wilson, this includes 2 other Master level shooters in our gang that have JPs. Barrels can make a dramatic diff on which powder/Chrono results you get. We tried Clays and Titegroup and found ALL 3 barrel makers preferred TG a little hotter load for overall consistent behaviour. In your barrel, 2.9 may not be enough horsepower.

WST is running nice in my PCC..decent pistol load.

Yep..roger that..

Sounds like your now running in production or limited..I run a PCC 9mm and tried the 105 with 115g and 121 but didnt like it..I think it was a compressed load at 5.9g or 5.6..did not try it in a handgun..experiment with the dot and diff loads, a light bullet will take a fair amount of powder..heavier may be better to start the experiment

Back when..I left .38 Supercomp major loads in the tumbler for 4 or more hours when I got busy doing other stuff...no issues running them at all. What I did notice was some of them due the weight clattered around the bottom of the tumbler more than others and picked up black streaks on the case from the gunk layered on the plastic at the bottom of the tumbler....these I had to hand clean and thus ended my "loaded" tumbling excersize.

I have run this for years in my Open Gun at Major...like zzT states I run run it down to 150pf for steel challenge..runs fine....I have 15 1 pounders... if you want more...

1 shot is thin but runs thru the dies very loose...I think any residue after loading helps in feeding the bang stick as well.

1 shot case lube to load ..and then fire...Never tumbled after loading .40, ...45...over 10,000 rounds 9mm thru my PCC and over 20,000 rounds 38 supercomp in my open gun....waste of effort-time in my opinion.

extreme and PD...tryimg some RMRs I just received soon.

So many bolt variables bewteen these AR9s can do affect the trigger behaviour, I am also running a piston buffer with a wave spring in the rear, perhaps this condition is helping. Rounds feeding and down range consistently is always the goal. I wanted it to run like my open gun and it does..

FWIW..shot many matches and I have over 8000 rounds on a hyperfire 24C with zero fails..or doubles and one in a back up AR9..using Faxon Ar style extractor 1 pc bolt in both.
