NoSteel

I wasn’t seeing issues when I ran 147gr just noted there was a large contingent in the nationals survey using 160gr. Tried it and liked the way they run and the added weight helps the clip fall into place in the cylinder. I have never run anything but coated Bullets in the 929 but the plated Bullets I’m sure would be able to slip out of th case easier without more crimp. I have only run a few steel matches with the 160gr and some practice range time but have seen no creep issues at all. Recoil, Almost like shooting a .22…..

I have an early 929 which I ran 147gr .355/.356 with no issues and good accuracy. Slugged it and found it was .357. I now run .358 160gr Bayou’s and it shoots even better. I then recrowned the barrel and accuracy is where a performance center piece should have been to begin with….

I shot 147gr Blues and loved them!!! It’s been shown they have changed the profile recently (RN) and it should make tossing them into the cylinder even smoother.

Loading to 2.25 will just force you to use more powder when you can get by with 1.2” and have better bullet seating and maintain a pretty tame load. What grain bullet 147, 160??

I saw ~ 3Pf drop adding 2 popples to my 5” barrel. Some of the affect is going to be dependent on how high your current PF is ( I was about 176 as that is what my comp liked ) and how efficient your current comp is, assuming your running one…. Either way, you should only need to make a slight powder adjustment to make up the loss if your already close to min PF IMO.

Clean it first. Your dies / machine operation will Thank You.

Are you using grease on the ramp (I use slide glide)?

Allot of it is dependent on the type of powder you use. I have run my SRO equipped M&P a 150rnd match with no wiping down in between. N320 under 147gr Blue bullet.

It was not missed at all!! I find it funny that this is even a discussion.. Maybe we could do a generic tapes vs the real deal tape comparison. Maybe even dry erase markers!!

I’ve stuck with the Green as I’ve been able to reuse over and over between the measure and the jug when not in use. The yellow starts to roll up the ends after a couple uses..

It may cost you less to just put a new trigger kit in rather than get it off to a smith for repairs???

All I was ever able to get to run 100% were CCI Mini mags as others have suggested. Keep the slide clean and oiled up!

Not sure of the hole size but I have mounted all 3 on the same mount.

Green Frog tape, goes back on powder jug when switching to new load.

Not on a CZ but I did my own on a small bench mill and it works / turned out great. I used a ball mill for the ports to avoid a burr in the barrel. Biggest worry is being shire your slot is far enough rearward in the slide to insure you won’t later develop a crack in the slide. You also have the option of a hole in the leading edge of the comp and in the slide.. pic of slide / popples as well as how the gas angles forward with a port slightly angled

That ring around the base would indicate the brass was not fully supported so it is probably an out of battery condition as mentioned.

This is the way it should be handled. Kudos to you for allowing them the time to get back to you and do the right thing without trashing on them. Don’t know if this was a big name or small builder but either way it should never went out that way. How they handle / correct this will go a long way in telling you the quality of their business. When you get it back critique the hell out of it and run it a bunch before checking it again for anything abnormal while you have their attention...

That is definitely not right. If it were in the raw waiting for chrome plating that would still be excessive. If it is that loose now, think about 20k rnds later....

Can’t believe I made this mistake here. This load is using Winchester AutoComp. Not WST..

Are they that large or have they been embellished?

You indicate new ammo is fine? What do you use for brass? is it mixed? If so, pull out 8 Winchesters and try that.. If they are fine your probably going to have to stick with 1 manufacturer. I use a Lee U-die as many others do and have never had any issues. (TK moons with Win brass, .358 160gr RN).

My apologies you took it in this way. I shoot revolver from time to time and some of the posts I read in several of these threads insinuate people would like to get rid of revolver shooters.. As you noted it was a I guess a poor attempt at humor.. As to constructive feedback I had replied to the other thread with a similar poll I did a few years ago with similar responses to any adjustments to revolver division.

With a similar type comp and 2 poppies holes I have to run my WST / 124gr PD jhp’s in the high 170’s PF to keep the muzzle down.

In an effort to finally eliminate Revolver division and cut down their use of 9mm ammo supply, all competitors will be required to use this classic revolver design.
