    New Trubor owner!

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    Got a call from Dawson that my Trubor was ready. Went on Tuesday and picked it up. Had a nice long chat with Dave and he let me put about 90 rounds through it on his private range.

    The pistol has a few mod's done to the stock Trubor. Dave also did a tune up on it. The pistol ran great. Not one problem. Used 124gr JHP with 8.7gr Silo at 1.175, once fired range brass. I am very please with it.

    Sounds like a nice guy with quality results! :cheers:

    i could also see fatter frames, allowing for a 170mm mag to hold in excess of 30+. heck, let's say a 40 rounder.

    But I like reloading! Reloading variably makes the game more fun to me. Am I alone on this?

    .38 SC Barrel swapping

    in Open Pistols

    Posted · Edited by SkyScrapin

    I run an SV IMM .38 SC. At the moment I have the Ti compensator (3 port, 2 side ports) with 4 popple holes. Was thinking about buying a barrel that does not have popple holes to play around with. Would it fit into place without any extra modification (besides spring work), or is this a job for the custom shop? FYI, barrel brand would not change.

    beginner reloader looking for equipment advice

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    This stuff can be her confusing to wade through, and Brian is like your personal consultant. You'll be amazed at how easy it is when you just call him and tell him what you want to accomplish.

    I looked to setup a "kit" myself and put all the necessaries together about 8-9 months ago. It got confusing and frustrating, mostly because I was a first timer. Called Brian and spoke to him all of 10 minutes, and he set me up for an order to reload .38 SC. He is very knowledgeable and can give you a few pointers that may influence you to buy a different press. He saved me lots of money with just one phone call. If you are sure you want that press, go ahead and call him anyways. Shipping was amazingly fast. Good luck with your decision.

    Who has primers and when

    in General Reloading

    Posted

    I placed an order with Cabelas back in June and it has been on back order since July. Now it is like a game. I call them 4-5 days before the order is due and make sure it is still in the system and they give me a new projected delivery date.

    The next scheduled delivery date is November 6th.

    I am not desperate for them, but it would be nice to load up a few 9mm with Federal primers.

    I placed my order back in April and the delivery date I was given last was 1st week of December, that's after Aug, Sept and Oct delivery dates.

    I have had 20K WSR on order from May. There expected delivery dates are misleading to say the least.

    CCI BR4 v. WSR/FSR

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    Don't think this one has been discussed yet. I have 2000 BR4 primers (which I know... Are extremely hard to come by right now). I was wondering what the real difference is between these and the WSR/FSR in the event that it comes down to having to use them. I understand that SR v. SP is just a matter of cup hardness, so I am assuming the cup hardness will be relatively the same. Is the difference in the consistence of the primer "sparking" compound?

    If worse comes to worse, I can probably find someone that will trade WSR for them, but in the event this doesn't happen, what would you do?

    10/22

    in Introduce Yourself

    Posted

    This is one topic where I can crush ALL of you. My 10/22 has won the STC multiple times. Of course, I bought it from Brian ....... :cheers:

    Cheater!!!

    I have a 10/22 with a barracuda stock! It was an impulse buy to say the least. I put a 60 dollar red dot on it that has four site settings. It's a GREAT turtle slayer. That's about all the action is gets...

    Annealing

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    What both of you said is pretty much what I figured. What about the rare occasion that I may shoot a .357 sig? If it was running higher pressure, then it would be a candidate for annealing, right? (Maybe I am just in the mood to torch some brass :> ).

    Annealing

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    So I have been reading LOADS about f-class shooting (rifle shooting comps). There seem to be a bulk majority of people out there that anneal cases. When comparing USPSA to F-Class, is there any reason to anneal pistol brass? Could be a simple answer, the thought just crossed my mind. Thought I would ask the experts.

    scary velocities with Vit 3N38

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    N38 is to me at least a loud powder, particularly compared to N350.

    +1, I got a 3 hybrid holes and a 3 port comp w/ two bleeders. Let me tell yeah, it's important to use double protection on the ears. I was thinking about trying other powders just because of this reason.

    I am using 10.6g 3n38 124 MG JHP Making major on .38sc. (I think I am compressing the charge but I haven't had any issues.)
