    38 super - varying OAL

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Posted

    OK, I think it may have been how my press was set up. I did have my 550 bolted directly to my bench but last night I set it up on a strong mount. I cranked out a small batch and the variations were +/-.03. It's weird that I never had a problem with any other caliber. The press was tight on the bench but something must have been moving or twisting. Thanks for the help guys.

    38 super - varying OAL

    I'm having an issue with varying lengths on 38 super. I'm trying to load to 1.235 and the some of the finished rounds will end up longer. Some well over 1.250. I've never had this happen before with compressed loaded 9mm major. I'm using 8.3g of 4756 and 9.7g of N105 and I have same problem with both. Any ideas?

    Importation of Shotguns Ruling Issued

    in Shotgun - Technical

    Everyone is talking about Saigas but how is it any different than the Benellis? If the Saiga is caught up in this, the Benelli M2 wouldn't be allowed in the country either. The Benelli M2 tactical and Saiga are both imported with a 5 round magazine. The Saiga can have a larger box magazine installed and a Benelli can have an extended tube or XRail installed. Also, neither the Benelli or Saiga (as imported) has any of the 10 "non-sporting" firearm features specified.

    The box magazine/tube magazine doesn't seem to matter according to this paragraph:

    "In regard to sporting purposes, the working group found no appreciable difference between integral tube magazines and removable box magazines. Each type allowed for rapid loading, reloading, and firing of ammunition. For example, “speed loaders” are available for shotguns with tube-type magazines. These speed loaders are designed to be preloaded with shotgun shells

    and can reload a shotgun with a tube-type magazine in less time than it takes to change a

    detachable magazine."

    Non of this really makes any sense to me.

    What ammo are you running for your Saiga?

    I run Federal Bulk Pack and Wolf Slugs most of the time..

    But you should tune the gun so it will run everything...Mine has been 100% after I throated it and Bolt Polish and make sure you have 4 unblocked gas ports if 21 inch or shorter barrel with stock gas system. And you can run a 1911 recoil spring for the light loads in place of the front recoil spring

    What # 1911 recoil spring are you using?

    Hmmm, they look interesting. i do wonder how much attention would be pulled off the sights and onto the target. seems like it could force a habit of looking for hits instead of calling the shots

    That's what I'd be worried about too.

    Practical Shooting comes easily?

    I just need to forget more.

    Yes. And more often.

    Practice sessions are for pushing yourself. Matches are for turning everything off and experiencing what you've learned. This approach really works for me. I think I read it in a book somewhere. ;)

    Need help deciding to go to open, or not.

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    I shot two matches of production then went right to open. I've shot other divisions since then but I still like open the best. Some people think once you get into open you lose some of your ability to shoot irons and its just the opposite...it will make you a better irons shooter in the long run. Plus...it's always fun to pull off the superman shot, that tight 35 yard spot that only the best irons guys would attempt. :)

    When I started all I used was the Atlanta Arms & Ammo 355 super. It's great stuff and not that much more than what you'd spend on factory 40.

    Where to start?

    in Introduce Yourself

    You can go another route and shoot Limited (Minor since it's a 9) and load your mags to full capacity, or even get extensions to add a few rounds. That would let you worry more about shooting and moving and not so much about reloading.

    What everyone has said is great info but I really like this point in particular. You'll have more fun doing this to start out and you can get by with fewer mags. It's also important to get some good instruction as soon as you can.

    Single stack with a Sig GSR?

    in 1911-style Pistols

    I'd say use what you've got first. One thing you might want to do is weigh that GSR. If I remember right those things are a bit on the heavy side. That may determine whether you want to use it as a base for a SS gun. Once you add a magwell it may put you over weight.

    Chris

    Yeah, the Sig website lists the out of the box weight as 41.6oz. That's going to cut it pretty close with just about any magwell.
