I cant quite tell but is that a remington with 3-gun gear attached?

I am fond of UMC. The 180gr does have a little preasure though. You may also need a long firing pin if you dont already have one.

John, I would ask around at some off your local matches and see if somebody there does some reloading for hire. They could reload it to the specs you like and could save you some money aswell.

I think shooting 9mm you may can get 30 + 1 but thats the most I've heard of. Hey Chriss what are you getting?

If I were you I would not do a discount on orders under say $250.00 or just discount reloaders only. Like the small order I placed not to long ago you had to do too much work for such a small order. The free shipping on other orders would be a hook enough for the small stuff.

I have the STI springs. I had to squeeze this tube front to back to get the size right. I quess I'll have to adjust the width as well.

I did the search but could'nt find anything. The wolff spings I have are too wide at coil 3 & 4 counting from the top front. I assume there is a way to bend the the coils so I can get the top of the spring closer to the top so the follwer will sit higher.

Watch out for Bill when he's got one with 20+. Bill you must have been practicing your reloads. That must make your finish even more rewarding

Chicks Dig It

I had to tighten up on the crimp. But start from loose and tighten it up a little bit at a time. But dont use the same crimp if you go back to lead. It would be too tight.

BrainH, I'm not sure what type of load it was. I did notice that he three holes together near the comp and one larger hole farther up near the blast shield. Rich, I thought the way everybody talks that if you didnt have the blows holes you would be too far behind the curve to compete. I'm no Matt or Jerry so I need all the help I can get.

I shot one of Chris Tilley's old open guns Saturday. Man that was that flat. Felt great. But the blast from those four holes almost jarred my teeth loose. Talk about loud I would compare it to a 223 coming out of a 10" barrel. I really wanted to shoot open. But it looks like you have to have those holes to do it right.

It should have a high CDI factor though. Brian you think you could get a T&E and let all of us try it out.

The limited gun on the slide show looks like it has a hybrid barrel but no holes. The front sight is mounted on the barrel. http://www.sviguns.com/photos/solid_hybrid...d_c_350_350.jpg Anybody know anything about this gun. Talk about a heavy barrel. (Tungsten sleeve dont need no stinking Tungsten sleeve.) BE havent you said something about putting the front sight on the barrel in a post somewhere.

Contgrats Phil on the win. No I was'nt calling Tommy a sandbagger. I think his finish is encouraging.

Good job Bill. I see your name up there along with some other BEers. Looks like a B shooter in Open shot a great match.

Maybe I shoud try a diffrent chrono. At 5.8 gr out of my P16 I'm getting around 941 fps. I did measure the OAL and some how that batch was at 1.230. TBeazlie would your bullets make that much of a difference . I'm shooting MG 180gr JHP's.

I suck. Been waiting to shoot a classifier that doesnt have a week hand string. So I could burn it up ( yea right). Limited 51pts 7.04 sec 7.2443 hf Yes the lock on the ghost holster works. First run El prez around 4.5 and the 2nd 2.5 Limited 10 52pts 6.78sec 7.6696hf 1st 3.8s and the 2nd 2.9s with a little trigger freeze on T2 and T3. I say to myself that its just another stage but I always get tense on the classifiers.

Yep thats right. I'm going back to edit my post. It's 5.8 @ 1.200 to make 170.

EricW, I have just started using 5.8 of Universal at 1.200" around 939 fps. light color and easy to see. I do have to work the press slower than I did with TG. Cuz what Pat said. (Edited by Jon Merricks at 12:54 pm on Sep. 5, 2002) (Edited by Jon Merricks at 4:14 pm on Sep. 5, 2002)

TMC, I hope this is what you need. 40 cal OD 0.712 ID is 0.540 x 36 TPI x 1.000 Shooter Grrl, Do you know if you can remove the sleeve off the Limcat when you need a new barrel ? (Edited by Jon Merricks at 8:18 pm on Sep. 2, 2002)

There were only three left. If anybody wants one they cost $200.00 shipping included. The only person I know that is using them has not had any problems with them. One of his sleeves has over 65k rounds and been on a couple of diffrent barrel's and still no problems. Looks like it will save me money now and in the long run.

TDean, Glad you have seen the light. Sorry it took the Nat's for it to happen. Never met TGO but its pretty cool that he's willing to chip in like that.
