RippSpeed Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Ok let me start with my specs : - 124gr CMJ Montana Gold - 8grs of Silhouette - Remington 6.5 SRP - 1.175 oal - 0.371 crimp -mixed brass - 1420fps ( because its flatter up here and softens up considerably and no pressure signs at all ) This is out of 5.4" SV Infinity Barrel and 1453fps out of a KKM barrel. - less than 1" groups at 25yrds with the SV but 1.25" out of the KKM ... All loaded on a 1050 ... I get a little bit of specks of brass on the slide right where the chamber is ... Is this normal ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) I can't tell where you're describing the brass specs are. On the gun after firing? You sure it's brass and not powder? Did you notice it after letting the gun sit for a little while? I noticed some flakes that looked golden in my gun and figured it was Unburnt powder that changed color somehow.

It looks golden soo it might be unburnt powder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamge Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 My guns all have residue like that after shooting 9mm rounds with Silhouette. Both major and minor. Seems to be normal for the powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be from the bullet and not the brass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's .005" smaller than I typically crimp 9mm. Was that a typo or actual dia at the case-mouth after TC? Thats actual diameter after the crimping station. I use a LEE FCD and Ive always used 0.371 - 0.372 as my crimp. Tried a looser crimp before but it didnt have good results.
