Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Getting the race gun running!!! Still need to work out some kinks, failure to eject seems to be on my part since I like to have a high grip with my right hand causing the brass to bounce off my thumb and back in the chamber. I may also need to clean the brass better http://s127.photobucket.com/user/vash_241987/media/IMG_2341_zps0912173e.mp4.html
  2. They called me Monday saying that my 2000ct of 124gr JHP will be shipping Tuesday, they just came in today!!! Now time for some loads, except I'm gonna run out of primers, down to 450 federal small pistol primers
  3. I got my barrel back from Springer Precision, I got it throated to accept rds loaded out to 1.160". I made 7 loads, the first 4 were loaded out to 1.140". All loads tested were with hornady XTP 124gr. JHP with WAC as the powder, Fed small pistol primers and mixed brass. Used a Prochrono. These 4 were loaded to 1.140" String 1: 6.8 Hi 1386 Lo 1311 Av 1339 ES 75 SD 24 PF=166 String 2: 6.9 Hi 1426 Lo 1363 Av 1400 Es 63 SD 19 PR=173 String 3: 7.0 Hi 1426 Lo 1396 Av 1412 Es 30 SD 8 PF=175 String 4: 7.2 Hi 1474 Lo 1424 Av 1442 Es 50 SD 16 PF=178 These 3 were loaded to 1.160" String 5: 6.8 Hi 1394 Lo 1357 Av 1368 Es 37 SD 12 PF=169 String 6: 7.0 Hi 1447 Lo 1405 Av 1416 Es 44 SD 14 PF=175 String7: 7.2 Hi 1455 Lo 1426 Av 1441 Es 29 SD 11 PF= 178 My though: Shooting a compensated pistol for the first time with fast loads was a pleasant surprise. I can't describe it but there is a big difference. At first I was having problems with light primer strikes, but luckily I brought my stock striker spring and everything was fine as far as the gun going BANG!! I did have issues with FTE and also the spent casings not flying far enough, maybe its my right support thumb blocking most of the ejection port since I'm a lefty. Here is the vid with the light primer strikes, look at those horrible flinches lol. (Click on pic to view video) I am glad that I got the barrel throated as I noticed that the shorter OAL were showing signs of too much pressure causing close to flattening primer effect. The longer OAL primers seem to fine though. I'm thinking I may end up sticking to a 6.8 or a 6.9 of WAC and have a OAL of 1.160". Once I get more bullets in, I'll tinker with the recoil springs a little more, currently I am using a 1911 guide rod made for the XDm with Wolff 13lb spring. Suggestions appreciated!! EDIT: Fixed the issue with the layout. Stupid MacBook, apparently my chrome browser is acting up and won't let me post replies or start new topics. Had to write this up on word then send it to my email on my iPhone. Then copy and paste it to this forum from my iPhone....geez
  4. Sure!! I don't think he states it in the video, but check in the comments, as I asked him about it.
  5. I saw a guy on YouTube do a review on the mount in his G17. I asked him how much did he lower it since I had one for my XDm open. He said 0.1000".
  6. Yeah, when I first installed it the trigger did not move at all. Took it out, threw it in my dremel and spun it in between some 1000 grit automotive sandpaper. Smoothed it out. Also found out the vertical serrations on my thumb rest were cutting my thumb up lol. I took a file to it when I got home.
  7. Thanks for the input!! Yes sir, I do have SP 1911 guide rid, I was using a 13lb spring, the loads were just reloaded one I use for plinking. Bullseye loaded to 4.0grs i believe. Calculating the avg. velocity of 950 w/ the 142gr came to 134.9pf.
  8. Lol, yeah, I guess I'll have to start from my loads frist. I'm hoping to get my barrel back this week. I decided to change out my sear spring from my modified to stock for now.
  9. Yeah, striker spring could also be another cause, I'm running a springer precision reduced striker spring which I also cut to fit it. Thinking about it, the other guys that's shot it didn't have any FTE and their right handed.
  10. Still waiting for the threaded barrel to come in, went shooting to see how the chrony works. I ran into a few issues: I had a few FTE, but I'm wondering if its due to me being a lefty and having the brass fly close to my support thumb. Also there were a times the striker did not reset after the slide cycled, I don't know if its the recoil spring or maybe the sear spring? It was a nice to finally shoot it, and I just did some adjustments to the C-more, though the shots may move after I get the barrel back. (click on pic to watch video)
  11. I just got mine the other day. The beretta insert worked well. Was tight enough to hold it in place, but I can pull out the mag without them getting stuck. BTW, I'm guessing the small plastic strip that came with the pouches is inserted between the mag pouch and belt to secure it in its position?
  12. IT'S HERE....except for one problem. We had a miscommunication with the slide cuts, my gunsmith though he was adding another cocking serration, but I didn't explain that I was asking for actual slide cut out to lighten the slide. No biggie just need to send it back. Here is a teaser: Also the compensator just needs a good timing for it to align perfectly with the slide. Well, patience is a virtue, besides it'll give me time to work some loads since I got my 124gr JHP today as well, and I need to get a chrony as well. EDIT: I was able to fix the timing on the comp, I think it could have been due to some of the cerakote getting into the threads.
  13. Well stroke of luck today!!! My LGS had some 9mm, went there after work but they sold out. But as I was checking out the guns, I saw one of the employees walk a customer with two 1lb containers of AutoComp!!! Asked I they still had any more and luckily they had 3 left. I just picked up one for me self and also 40rds of mil-surplus .308. Spent more than I was originally was gonna spend, but hey payday is Monday . Slide will hopefully be in tomorrow!!
  14. Thanks man!! I just order 100 hornady XTP JHP last night on gunbroker. So it should be good until I get my delta precision.
