    New X Five all around

    in Sig

    Posted

    Yes, my local club have some SRT coming shortly but someone told be that it is not recommend to install a SRT in a 226 X Five as it does not share the same internals. Is it true? The long reset is killing my splits right now.

    New X Five all around

    in Sig

    Posted

    Hello all, I just bought the Sig X Five All Around for the production division. I put almost 1000 rounds in the gun and so far so good. Got a few stoppages that hopefully will dissapear when the gun will be broken in completely. My biggest concern is the trigger pull, actually, more like the trigger reset. I know that Sig makes a SRT trigger for the 226 line of pistol and I was sondering if I can install this trigger in the All Around. Also, I would like to know how to remove the firing pin?

    Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

    Trigger pull help!

    Okay so on my last IPSC match, I got bumped in open because I did not make the trigger pull. The minimum requirement is 5 lbs and mine did 4 lbs and 5 oz. My M&P is 6 months old and I didn't touch anything. A buddy of mine who have the same gun got also bumped into open. Called Smith & Wesson and there's no fix for it, the gun is made this way. Wolff doesn't offer a stronger hammer spring.

    What can I do to increase the trigger pull over 5 lbs?!? I have a bug match in July and I don't want to screw that up.

    Question about roll sizing

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    When you roll size, do you still need to full size? I have zero experience with this method and I asked someone to roll size some 9mm brass for me. At my surprise, most of them had an oversize neck so the bullet would drop free. I thought that a roll sizer was a 1 step process.

    I reprocess all my brass on my XL650 and noticed that I still have that ugly coke bottle profile. Why does a commercial reloader can produce some nice reload that looks like factory ammo and my reloads looks terrible?

    Any imput will be appreciated.

    Clays + 147 gr + sp magnum primer

    I an certainly not a Devil May Care person, but I also know that reloading books are a guide to start your reloading. The upper ends of most of the data in the books, are written in close consultation with the legal department. I start with the book, and move up in very small increments, looking for pressure signs in the cases with each shot. I think that you will find that many of the "Maximum loads" will not even make Minor PF. I know with my Open gun in 38SC using VV3n37 or VV3n38, most major loads are nearly 25% - 2gr over the listed maximum in the book.

    And to that, all guns are different, so you have to work up any load slowly, and not just load from the book.

    I shoot Clays in my .40 Limited gun with 200gr bullets. Not in the book. But by asking what others were using, and dropping down 10% from there to start, I have worked up a nice soft, safe load.

    Just my opinion.

    Your load is .5 grains above the book load and thats using a lead bullet. I have only seen clays and 147 in the lyman reloading manual.

    I have been shooting 3.3gr of Clays under Zero 147 JHPs loaded out to 1.14 for my para What I am I missing -
