Thinking of dipping my toe and shooting open. What do I look for I ann open gun? What do I avoid? Any makers to avoid? Anything to keep in mind when loading for major? Would be looking to do 9mm.

That powder and grains are you using with the 147 bullets? Also what spring weight?
I and using 3.2 of n320 in my pistol and 3.2 with a 135 for Pcc. I have the JP SCS short stroke and all up tungsten weights.

Wondering what everyone shooting with their Pcc. I shoot mostly uspsa with it and run either a 135 or 147 grain bulllet. Few in our group have move to lighter bullets (100 gr) and while the felt recoil is more they say the dot says flatter. What’s everyone’s experience?

I have 2 of these dies to load different bullet profiles so I don’t have to adjust the ball bearings. Both are coated bullets, a round nose and a flat point. They work great in run a bullet feeder with them rather than the tubes.

Just wanted to follow up on this after getting more rounds loaded with these primers down range.
-My first range trip to chrono/test was 50 rounds, no issues.-After this, I brought 200 to a local USPSA match and ended up having a single light strike, which went off on the second strike. Didn't read too much into it at that time.
-Took another 200 out for testing purposes yesterday and had two more light strikes that both went off on second strike.
Firearm is a S2 w/ CGW pro kit installed, 11.5lb hammer spring, extended firing pin, etc. Never had any light strikes with Fiocchi or WSP, so assuming the issue is that the primers are indeed harder at this point. Have installed the 13lb hammer spring for now to see if the issue goes away, and if it does, will keep it in until I shoot through the SA primers.
Not knocking the primers at all, some are harder than others and we can make our firearms less reliable when we change internals. Just the nature of the beast.
I moved to 13 lb spring and have only had 1 light strike on last 5k or so rounds.

I have same issue with Glock mags for pcc and Cz mags. I picked of pouches that have a hand screw on outside. Still have to adjust but much easier than swaping inserts.

3.2 gr is the default magic number for N320 and 147s. From there you dial up or down in 0.1 gr increments if you have to.
Today 3.3 gave me 134 with coated 135.

Try 3.5 of N320 with a 147 coated. That is my load through a Shadow 1. 131-134 PF
Ran through chrono today 3.3 averaged 134 with 135 coated.

Sport Pistol, or N320 as a second best, and either JHP or CMJ style will save you a bunch of cleaning .
Titegroup and HiTek coated is a recipe for a filthy compensator.Thanks! I don’t use Titegroup in shadow anymore since it’s pretty dirty still.

I’m going to pick up a JP GMR 15 to run in USPSA. What ammo/loads do you run if you have this PCC? I currently load my shadow 2 with sport pistol or n320 with coated 147gr bullets. I also have a bunch of titegroup I could use as well.

What type of press are you using. Maybe adjustable seating depth plays a role
I’m using a Lee so it’s not adjustable.

Out of curiosity, are you using the stock firing pin or an extended one? In addition to the 11.5lb, I have the extended firing pin, so perhaps that is what's making the difference...
I have the extended from Cajun.

I grabbed some and would do it again based on my first trip with them. Only loaded up a small batch to start with to check things on the chrono with my current load and make sure they go bang, etc. Initial thoughts are below.
-They seat easy enough, not super tight like the Ginex I used during the Obama shortages.-Some people have reported that they are "hard", but my S2 with an 11.5lb mainspring/extended CGW firing pin set them off without issues. May or may not be harder than some others, but that's a pretty light mainspring, so I'm thinking people must be taking things to extremes with their trigger work or weren't getting them fully seated.
-Compared to the Fiocchi's I have been using, the ES and SD were a bit higher, but still pretty good. If you're one of those people loading to 127PF, throw 10-20 rounds over the chrono and make sure you aren't going to get bit. If I throw out the one round that was the biggest outlier, the ES/SD are almost identical, so maybe just something related to the mixed range brass I use or a light powder drop, etc.
I had to move to 13lb spring. With the 11.5 I had a couple light per match. Very since changing.

Thank. I was going to work up a few test loads and run through chrono.

I too am a recent convert from TG to N320.
In my G17 3.1 gr TG gives me 131 PF for 147 gr coated
In my G34 3.1 gives me 132.5
In my DS9 3.1 gives me 130
I haven't loaded 147 with N320 but I need 4.1 gr to get 133 PF with 124 gr coated. I would think 3.1 or a tad higher will give the same PF for 147
Thanks!
-
That’s what it seems for and sp and n320 should be same charge.
-
For those that moved from Titegroup to either n320 or sport pistol what if any powder charge change did you have? I have 147 gr coated bullets. At 3.1 gr Titegroup I get about 132 pf.

Get used to it. You can try different powders to try reducing it, but there will always be some.
This is my MPX. I'm using either N320 or N330 powder.

Thanks. Doesn’t bother me much. My squad was worried it was out of battery discharges which I don’t think it was. This is full match.

I’ve been getting a lot of action coming from the ejection port. Any thoughts on this? I’m running a TACCOM upper with their adjustable buffer system with flat wire spring. Mostly factory ammo.

3.1 gr titegroup. 147 gr FP summit city bullet. 1.12 oal.

I'd take a look at the ejector adjustment. I had ejection issues with my taccom upper and had to adjust the ejector up to help with ejection.
This appears to be the issue. I spoke with Tim from taccom and he looked at my adjustment and the bolt. Ran 200 rounds tonight flawless.

Are you able to take a video of the issue? It can be as something as simple as a loose extractor to the bolt is overrunning.
It doesn’t happen every shot so getting an isn’t viable option. I did adjust the ejector position. Before there was a significant gap.
-
I need help. I’ve run three matches with my new pcc and each match I have had multiple failure to eject issues. I’ve run different am and different mags. Psa lower with taccom upper. Any thoughts?

I’m thinking about picking up a 360 camera to shoot matches from above. If you’re currently using one how are you setting it up? On tripod only? Attaching to stage barriers?

Thank. I currently load 9 with n320 or sport pistol. What about bullet weight? Heavier bullet or light?
