ok thanx fellas....yah i heard the .40 glocks were picky with the OAL cuz its really the same 9mm magazine just different follower...i might poke around and see if any one around town carries the solo or universal and try them out in addition to 231....ive heard the vv powders are way more expensive and the results really dont pay off

hey all....im going to be running a limited glock 35 using a major pf using bear creek 180 mollys.....ive tried all over to find some titegroup and cant get my hands on any...and the only powder i have on hand is a couple pounds of 231 and some clays but have heard bad things of clays....so im going to have mixed brass with winchester small pistol primers.....i need to know a good OAL and grains of 231 to make major...thanx for any help

my kimber custom II eats my 200 swc loads all day long and is very accurate in doing it....if your going to be doing it i would suggest using moly coated ones....i use precision and bear creeks...also i heard masterblaster sold their tooling to somone else and they are up and running...molys smoke less and you dont get a wax build up in your dies...which can lead to seating depth increase if you dont clean the seating die regularly ....for seating depth i just start high and adjust the die down till i have about 1/32" of a shoulder above the case....ive heard good things about clays but i personally use 5.5 of winchester 231...gotta love the huge hole they punch in targets

schweet......but i miss the masterblaster logo gear...that was good stuff

the death of cliff burton was the death of metallica......and justice was good enough and thats where i draw the line.....cutting their hair and wearing makeup was disgrace i cannot forgive

LOL! dude ur right!!!! its always the shortest one on the team!?!?!?

i use the medium techwell on my kimber custom II and love it...i love the aggressive texture of the aluma-grips that holds it in place as well...but thats all old news....still basically the same ones youve mentioned that ive seen...although me and my buddy are the only ones out of like 30 shooting single stack lol

very interesting...we got gallons of the stuff layin around the place and its only like 7 bucks a gallon anyways...ive never heard of it bfor but you guys on this forum have awesome info so im gonna try....im also confused as to what the dryer sheet does....more info please

heh my shootin buddy has the cheapo harbor freight one and for his 1911's he takes the grips off and sets em aside...field strips it and gives it its "bubble bath" in diesel.....sounds a lil crazy but he swears by it and all his steel guns work just fine...he says the best part is that diesel is a fine petroleum product and so he doesnt even lube the small internals afterwards...just lubes the slide, barrel, frame and slaps the grips back on and heads out to the range...strains all the crap out of the diesel with a coffee filter and re uses it LOL!

I love my Kimber Custom II....i did quite a few mods on it as a learning project and now use it for SS...very accurate and reliable pistol

i checked the plunger and its long enough so im just gonna cut it...thanx

aight thanx....ill just use the dremel and save the $....thanx for the info and i'll take my time and go a lil at a time

ahhhh crapola....im pretty sure they wont work then if a wilson extended pad is too big....and im pretty computarted and cant seem to figure out to attach a pic

is that what makes a notch instead of just circular hole?

ooooohhhh thats a good question....im still new to uspsa and only shoot at local level 1 matches so nobody realy cares too much about what ur doin or shooting with.....hhhhrrrrmmm...lets put it this way...with the medium thechwell wilson and cmc power mags with extended basepads fit about flush with the magwell...then with the bumper screwed on...it fits a full 1/2" below the magwell...dont know if that info helps any but thanx for bringin it up....mebe i can get some pics up

ok on my kimber custom II i switched out all the friction parts (beaver tail, slide stop, thumb safety and put in a extended mag release) for SS parts to put a nice contrast on the gun....now my gun locks open premature and i can freely move the slide stop around....so in drilling the dimple should i fork out the 20$ and get the krieger plungertube drill bit or just hit it with a small drill bit??

yah i hate that sick feeling you get when you hear a thump thump thump in the dryer and dont see your phone anywhere

Ray, Will they drop free if you put the mag in, drop the slide and hit the mag release? R, G-man, i took the three i had and loaded them up with some dummy rounds i had made. all three of them would drop with full mags...i then jacked a round and tried droppin the mag and reinserting and jackin a round and droping untill the mags were empty...no failures for the mag to fall free ....mebe he didnt have the 10/.40 exactly calibrated yet??

i just picked up 3 8rd .45's with an experimental basepad to fit the techwells.....Virgil wasnt the happiest of the cosmetics of them but they work perfect.....i only put about 200rnds through em yester day but there was no malfunctions whatsoever and i realy like the finished product of the tubes...high polish and no external evidence of a weld....overall they seem to be the highest quality mag ive seen....i have however put wilson springs and followers in all my cmc powermags and those have worked pretty damn good sofar too

heheheh if you cant beat em join em...my charles daly efs will not feed any swc's....my gunsmith ripped out the couple of remaining strands of hair he had left trying to get it to eat em.....i tried masterblasters, precision, bear creek, and oregon trails...would smiley on all of em....my kimber on the other hand ate em all....so i started loading 230rn and both love em...go figure

+1 on both the grips and magwell

I agree with both comments....i had the pachmyr grooved rubber grips on my daly and they werent proportioned to my hand very good and just had a weird squishy feel....dunno... the techwell alumagrips are awesome.....very aggressive checkering for great grip...but not so course that you cant fire several hundred rounds in a day....i think they have a great product and i love the medium magwell combo with the alumagrips

nah it aint from the bullets...they are Bear Creek moly coated 230rn....i backed off the belling as much as i could but there is still a small bit of the shavings left....dont seem to bother anything...i got a can of air that i hit the press with from time to time anyways...and they feed perfect in my kimber single stack gun and my picky charles daly....after i press out a thousand or so...il switch over to the bear creek moly coated 200swc and see what happens....

hmmmm ok well i know this only started happening when i put on the FCD....and i really like the resizing ring in it...so i think i will try and reduce the belling in the case and see if that cleans things up a bit...thanx for the input

my first couple of matches i didnt quite get the whole barney mag thing and would end up putting it in my last mag pouch....then on the last stage of a match when i did a reload and it went empty after a couple of shots i had a moment of clarity and insight and figured out what was goin on i also noticed i have a habit of grabing my rearward mags first...nothin but full mags on the belt from then on out
