Thanks for the info I’m loading 165 blues in my 6” limited gun and thinking of putting a dot on it and I was hoping to use the same load for both this helps a bunch, thanks again

https://www.egwguns.com/trijicon-rmr-sro-holosun-407c-507c-mount-for-bomar there’s a couple of pictures showing the various 1911 sight cuts, and a 2nd showing the difference between bomar and lpa

Gotta agree with Shred you can shoot a limited gun in open, why can’t you shoot one in Limited Optics

Now that open lite is becoming a reality, I’m looking at 40 minor loads has anyone tried S&S bullets 140 gn coated bullet and how did you like them https://www.snscasting.com/40-s-w-140-grain-flat-point-red-coated-500ct/

EGW makes a mount for the bomar cut I’m tempted to do the same to my old limited gun

Instructions from their website http://szbarrels.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Schuemann-Instruction-manual-2021B.pdf

I’ve posted this before, I spray I tiny bit of kroil in my comp after every outing and let it sit till the next time I shoot. It penetrates the crud and the next time I shoot, the muzzle blast blow the crud out. I clean my guns every thousand rounds or so and use a brass scraper to clean out what little build up I get. I’ve done this with both jhp and coated bullets, the build up with jhp’s are so minimal that if it wasn’t for my ocd, I wouldn’t touch it, with coated there is some build up but the brass scraper cleans it up

I vote for major/minor so what if no one makes a 40 optics ready limited gun, there are thousands existing guns out there that with a simple replacing the rear sight with a dovetail mount could play, I hope EGW is cranking out their bomar cut mount because I see them selling a bunch of them. limited is one of the two race gun divisions, open being the other, if minor is such an advantage, why doesn’t open minor dominate the sport and lastly I’d like to keep the mags at 140, 9mm already has a capacity advantage over 40, what make it more complex then it already is. btw I think the reason limited is dying has more to do with aging than anything else, quite simply a lot of us have a hard time seeing our sights, allowing dot on our old limited guns could see a revival in limited.

I run a mix of Dillon, rcbs, lee, EGW and Redding dies on my 650 1 thing to be aware of is most dies besides the Dillon you have to put the lock nut underneath the tool head because the dies aren’t long enough for 9 I’m using the EGW u-die, Dillon seater, Redding crimp dies for 223 I’m running hornady x-die set

Is the holes in your frame threaded to 6-40? 5-40 is much more common

PD JHP for major9 blue bullets for everything thing else i used to run blues in my 38SC open gun with absolutely no problem, and the only reason I don’t in major 9 is I wanted I visual clue so I don’t mix my ammo up and shoot one in my other guns

Foggy memory time, I do recall that maybe from my RO class back in 85, we also declared the gun clear back then before, slide forward, hammer down, holster I’m sure revolvers and range lawyers had a hand in changing the range commands

Per the SASS HANDBOOK minimum PF 60 minimum velocity 400 FPS

I friend had a svi opengun and he told me, svi recommends sp primers which kinda blew my mind. when I thought about it, PF used to be 175 for major and I used to load my 38SC to 180, and primers would flatten, crater, and blow the dimple back out, so rifle primers made sense after that I started used spm with no problem, until this latest primer famine, now I use what I can find

Yep major was based on the old 45 ball round and minor on 38special 158 RNL, and my first comp gun was in 45, and major/minor scoring was designed to reward shooting a more powerful gun. my take, leave the PF alone, there’s nothing stopping you from shooting 9mm minor in open or any other of the race divisions and we’ve had this discussion before. Major 9 in limited and many other variations of it if you want shoot something with no recoil to ruin you shot, there’s always cowboy where I hear they chrono to check if the ammo meets a minimum velocity

Things were simpler then, I got my 1st race gun in the early 90’s in my neck of the woods, they were all in 38 super, we all ran heavier bullet than we run now and the swoosh cut on the back of the slide was about the only lightening we did, and plastic grips were the rage. Guns broke back then but it was usually small stuff. now we lighten the hell out of them to the point I look at some slides and wonder how long before it cracks, most are in 9major which pushes the pressure way beyond the old 38 stupid gun, and trying to squeeze that last extra round into a 170 tube doesn’t help. on the plus side, scope are way more durable, I can’t tell you how many tascos and adco scopes I went thru, including the “bulletproofed” one. back then we had a choice of para, caspian, Springfield P9 and sti high cap frame. para is Basically gone, caspian is only selling SS frames and no one knows what a P9 is, but we have more choices of 2011 frames.

I use a eye glasses screw driver to pry the battery tray out I’ve used bigger stuff resulting in my breaking the tab off the tray

I have a S&W model 60 that I thought couldn’t rust, I was wrong

I have no idea where I read or heard this supposedly the most important part of the bullet when it comes to accuracy is the base, you could damage the nose and it wouldn’t affect accuracy as much as a damaged base

I don’t know if this would help, I spray my comps with kroil after every outing and let it sit until the next time I shoot kroil is a penetrating oil that soften and get under the crud and it blows out the next time I shoot it

I also bought the FA pods and kept thinking these look familiar, kinda like the Kirkland brand dishwasher pods from Costco the Kirkland pods are a little small than the FA, so I throw in 2 or. 3 depending how how full the FARTS is

I deprime after wet tumbling, I have a dedicated tool head with an old 9mm sizing die that I use to resize and decap the most important part is to make sure the primer pocket is bone dry before you reload

My take as someone who’s been doing this longer than most (I shot my 1st match in 1985) and have guns that haven’t seen the light of day in years If they do approve, I hope the also approve frame mounted optic and major like shred said with a frame mounted optic, ether cut off the comp or rebarrel an old open gun with major remove the bomar and put on a red dot, both of which is a hell lot cheaper than buying a staccatoatlasprodgy or whatever new blaster their trying to push

I found under multi gun rule appendix D6 https://uspsa-docs.b-cdn.net/rules/App D6_v3.pdf

I never tried too
