Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. What other colors does he have?
  2. Well that's good news! I hated to think I was looking into a deep mystery. Thanks,
  3. Has anyone experienced heavier bullets grouping or hitting higher than lighter bullets. I shoot an XDm 9mm with 4.5 barrel. The following three loads were used in the discovery. 1) 115 grain factor Blazer Brass and Winchester white box hit red dot dead center to a 1/4 inch high at ten yards. Advertised 1145 fps. 2) 124 grain Bayou Bullets over 4.4gr. of W-231, oal 1.145, .377-.378 crimp, chrono’d 1080fps are hitting about 1-1/4 inches high of dead center. 3) 135 grain Bayou Bullet over 3.9gr. of W-231, oal 1.145, .377-.378 crimp, chrono’d 998 fps are hitting about 2 inches high of dead center. Shots are from bench rest at ten yards. I first discovered this about two months ago when myself and a friend were shooting at 100 yards, mostly for fun and the 135's were flying over a full size silhouette target while aiming at center mass. In the past I have shot the 115's several different times and consistently had 18 inch groups centered around my point of aim. I had to aim at the bottom of the target, about 24 inches below point of impact. Groups were about 24 inches. There seems to be a consistency here, anyone had any similar experience? Over,
  4. I pay three dollars a pound from the local range.
  5. Nice looking brass! Ten pounds of what kind of "pins"? Over,
  6. Greetings fellow reloaders, I'm loading 9mm 135 Bayou Bullets with 3.9gr of W-231, .377-.378 crimp and 1.140 OAL. from a mixed bag of cases using Winchester small pistol primers or CCI spp. They run between 980 and 1000 fps over a chrono. Unable to find any small pistol primers, I bought a 1000 Federal "magmum small pistol primers." Last box on the shelf. With all things kept the same, what will most likely happen using the "magnum small pistol primers?" Can the mag primer spike the 231? I'm going to back the charge down .2 grains and rechrono, but I'm hoping someone else has some experience with this. Best regards, Over,
  7. I bought the Ruger 22 45 in a 4.5 inch barrel with threads for a suppressor. I had the trigger pull increased to about 6 pounds to match my XDM 4.5 9mm. After 10,000 rounds, I'm very happy. Save up some patience for the day you first reassemble it.
  8. Sooner or later I'll catch them during business hours.
  9. I have been watching Zero for 9mm 125gr JHP for a couple of months now and have noticed that there isn't much of anything in stock. Anyone have an inside scoop on this? Thanks,
  10. Thanks for the heads up. I have been looking to pick up some of those.
  11. My wife has the same issue. She could not and I mean no way could rack my XD. So after a bunch of pistol squeezing we settled on the H&K P-30. It racks so smooth and easy you would think it was broke. The grip has multiple backs and side panels to fit any hand. In fact, I think there is no other plastic pistols with a better feel to the grip. Not saying other are not as good. There's almost to many trigger variant options and we have the double action/single action version, but I would get the version that is closest to double action only, if I could do it over. One draw back is the cost, of course she did't care about that. It went something like " all the pistols you got!!, cough it up sweetie." ( She doesn't know the half of it.) I still shoot and carry XD's, but for her, it's a prefect pistol. Good luck,
  12. The gun: XD-9 service model bought in 2006. I had run 15,000 + or - factory rounds (Blazer, winchester, remington, speers, etc.)and not one failure of any kind. Then I started to load my own and around 17,000 (mostly 4.2 to 4.4 W-231 with MG or zeros) i started to experience FTE. Went back to proven factory loads and still one to two FTE's per 50 rounds. After checking everything talked about here I called Springfield and they happily sent me a free trip to their facility to inspect having told me they will replace the extractor. Now the reason I write. Shortly before this experience I had taken about a dozen+ empty casings with primers (casulties of a new loader), hand feed them into the chamber and let the slide slam shut like I was loading a round feed by the mag. I now wonder if the extractor slamming over the case head may have damaged the extractor. Facts for thought. Happy trails,
