Looks for Target

Looks for Target (4/11)

  1. Yeah, HS6 and Autocomp seem to have alot of fans, and loads are right there. But, I gotta do everything the hard way. If all else fails I suppose I could break down and add a couple more jugs to the collection. I hear the Autocomp 8's are about half the size of most other 8LB jugs... Maybe I just need a bigger house? Thanks! Travis F.
  2. Only that I already use it for other stuff, and have at least 12LBS of it on hand, and currently have no HS6, and only buy powder 32LBS at a time... Nothing that cant be fixed with a quick phone call... Thanks for the info! Travis F.
  3. Something like this? http://ows-ammo.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=146 Travis F.
  4. Anybody using and liking Longshot in 9MM MAJOR ? Longshot seems to be the least favorite of the most likely to be appropriate powder selections for 9MM MAJOR. I have not been keeping up on the major 9 learning curve and may have missed some important information that says Longshot sucks for this application ? Velocity spread a bit too wide ? Muzzle blast a bit too fierce ? Accuracy issues ? I will be investigating short OAL [Glock mag length] loads with approx. 115-125Gr jacketed [ NOT plated ]bullets - 147Gr data not needed . Any information helpful! Thanks in advance! Travis F.
  5. Nicer as in muzzle blast or feel vs LONGSHOT ? Consistent as in extreme velocity spread or ... I ask because soon I will be loading Major 9MM and my life would be much easier if I could load with LONGSHOT. Certainly seems Autocomp, and HS6 have quite a few fans - Im sure there are reasons for that - My questions are directed at finding those reasons. Sorry to be long and windy to ask silly questions, any information appreciated! Travis F.
  6. Lee Factory Crimp Die ( AKA FCD ) Pretty much any round that is crimped in that die ( .469 - .470 at case mouth for 45 ACP ) will fall into a case gauge . The FCD Works slick for 40S&W too ... Travis F.
  7. For me rifle sights are faster on a shotgun. Of course I am not " fast " compared to many of the other forum members, so take my opinion as .O2 from some guy, and not anything more. Travis F.
  8. Best wishes to you both! Stay strong! My wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a little over 8 years ago, she kicked cancer's @$$ so hard it hasn't been seen since. Travis F.
  9. Para sponsored a pin match several years ago . Rules required you to use Para supplied pistols , most looked fairly low mileage but slightly used . I have never seen so many DNF's in a single match . Maybe just a fluke or statistical anomaly ... Travis F.
  10. http://www.ammunitionaccountability.org/Legislation.htm I cannot make any further comments due to this being a family friendly forum . Travis F.
  11. Shaun, Welcome ! IMHO that's an advantage to the Glock platform , most drop in parts really do drop in , and fit well . Unless you have some radical mods in mind , pretty much anybody can do about anything themselves without spending $ on special tools . ( right after I thought this I remembered you will need a special socket to install sights , less than $5 , sometimes included with the sights ) Travis F.
  12. " Merlin Orr(17) " Some of us mature at different rates ... Happy Bday to you all ! Travis F.
  13. IMHO the only advantage to the 1911 platform over the Glock is the trigger . The Glock trigger can be improved easily , and can be pretty good , but not as good as a 1911 trigger . This statement applies to my experience only , I have heard tales of custom Glocks having trigger pulls that are equal to 1911's , but have not ever felt one that fits that description . Glocks have an advantage in availability of cheap mags . I have a G35 that I like quite a bit . Travis F.
  14. Very cool ! Also runs under Linux ! Thanks . Travis F.
  15. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/GunTech/N...p;t=1&i=349 I cheaped out and got the Ed Brown jig , and some of the ceramic 90 degree stones from Brownells . Several months and many sears later I finally got things figured out . Save your components that work now in a safe place , modify new parts . If you never plan on doing another trigger , have a real gunsmith do it and save time , money and cuss less . Travis F.
