Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Skelt11
    I read some info on another forum that talked about that specific topic. I’ve attched the graph in the thread from a Ramshot reloading manual that shows how shorter oal increases pressure.
  2. Skelt11
    Thanks for the info ddc. I have a question about lowering the oal when loading on the upper end of the receipe’s charge weight. Why you do that in that situation? If there is more powder and less space inside the cartridge, wouldn’t that increase pressure?

    I’m not the OP but I’m using PD 124gr JHP.

    That’s a very good point. That’s the read out on the Mitutoyo digital calibers I use. I’ve realized I was chasing my tail trying to get so close after read this thread and others. I went the range yesterday and ran 110 round through a CZ. 100% reliable, SD of 16 and 16.2 between three strings of five rounds, and a high extreme spread of 44.

    Thats good to hear. I reset my dies probably three or four times trying to get them spot on. I’ve read several places that as long as the oal functions in your guns then you’re good. So is the recommended oal in receipts that big of a deal? I’ve read several threads on some other forums that some are running a 1.10 with the same bullet weight and powder. I’m still learning the impact of oal and performance of the round I guess.

    +1 on this. I’m just setting my 650 up and less than 100 rounds in my locator pin in station five for severly bent and flew out. I’m waiting on a spare parts kit now and I was just getting going.

    I’ve been chasing my tail on this the past few days myself. I’ve read all the posts regarding the issue. My desired oal is 1.140. I can’t seem to get right on that but I’m getting anywhere from 1.1415 to 1.1430. Every once in a while I’ll get one out to 1.1450. I tried adjusting the seating die several times but no matter how small the tweak I ended up further off. I spoke to a rep at Dillion today and he said +/- .005” is normal and is due to the differences in brass used that are in the stations before the seating die. Just thought I’d share what he told me.

    I just ran into this issue three times this weekend at a local match after probably 3-4K rounds through my Stock 2. I guess that makes me wonder how often I need to be replacing springs like this one. I'll be ordering some tonight. I'm shooting area 8 in a few weeks and this hangup really bothered me. Definitely killed my standings trying to clear the issue.

    I never carried bullets out until I started using Ghost mag pouches. I find it is a more natural draw for me and less fumbling but everyone is different of course. I've also seen a few people who run bullets forward on the first couple of carriers and then bullets out on the rear most mag carriers.

    "Rubbing like crazy" = The right side of the trigger bar, as I'm holding the gun, has a lot of contact with the right side of the frame. The left side doesn't show much contact. If I polish the trigger bar again and fire another 50-100 rounds the polish is gone. I need to order smaller felt wheels and I'll give it a shot.

    I think I know of two that do exist....some people hoard them though.
  12. Skelt11
    Wow, that app looks pretty good. Does it work well with indoor ranges or dry firing?
  13. Skelt11
    @MemphisMechanic do you have any photos of the sides of the inside of your frame where you polished it? Did you use fine grit sandpaper at all or just polishing compound? My frame is rubbing my trigger bar like crazy after I polish it.

    Thats exactly what happened actually. Henning is making new screws out of harder heat treated steel now as I just found out :-)
  15. Skelt11
    Stripped the head of the screw out. All is good though. I stared at it for a few hours and it finally realized how pissed I was and backed itself out. I don't negotiate with terrorists. Stuck with the crappy wood grips for the match this weekend though.
