  1. Yes, to me heavier bullets going slower have less felt recoil than lighter bullets going faster. I load 160gr bullets in .38 Short Colt. When I use Win 231 they have more snap then Clays for the same power factor.
  2. Tell me more !! Is it on Practiscore? What's the name of the club? What's dates?
  3. Federal FC brass, Federal small pistol primers, TK .035 moon clips, Blue or Bayou 160gr .358 bullets, Clays or Sport Pistol powder.
  4. Oh, and the factory comp was useless.
  5. My 929 wouldn't fire factory ammo reliably, had bullet creep with factory ammo, and some brass was nearly impossible to get in or out of my TK moon clips. I finally settled on FC Federal brass, Federal small pistol primers, and .358 160 grain bullets.
  6. I have both a 627 and 929. The 929 took hours and hours of dicking around to run smoothly. The 627 was plug and play.
  7. Thanks guys, as soon as I'm able I'll go back to the range.
  8. I'm just joking with ya. Dots are cool.
  9. A dot, you mean like the girlie men use? Son, I've been looking at the front sight since I was knee high to a black and white TV, a Telex machine, an 8mm movie projector, a 78 LP player, a rotary phone booth... it's too late for me to change.
  10. Yes. I used to shoot with both eyes open, and I still shoot sporting clays shotgun with both eyes open, but I've had eye issues and surgeries, so now I have to shoot handguns with my right dominant eye. All I'm looking at is the front sight.
  11. Tried? I only shoot "full gangsta" style
  12. I'm getting in some practice for the Salt Lake City match. I'm shooting my S&W 627. .38 Short Colt, 160gr Bayou, 3gr of Clays, Starline brass, Federal SPP. At 25 yards with two hands, all in the A zone on a USPSA target. Strong hand at 10 yards, aiming at the center of the A, all in the A zone. Weak hand at 10 yards, aiming at the center of the A, all six inches high, six inches right. (Think 2 o'clock on a clock face) If I aim at the lower left corner of the A zone, all in the center. It's obviously operator error, but what the heck am I doing wrong?
  13. I just had a thought. Remove the shell plate. Place an empty shell on top of the platform. Run it up. Does it tilt in? If the top of the platform is at a right angle to the center line of the die it shouldn't. Next put the shell plate on without the spring and ball. Tighten it down all the way. Run it up. Does it tilt in? Let's remove the variables.
  14. Obviously I'm joking, hence the smiley face. Keep us updated.
  15. 17.7 ? My book maxes out at 17 for a 158gr bullet.
  16. Take off the shell plate. Are the two Allen bolts that hold the platform to the shaft tight?
  17. I'm heading to up Fairbanks for a few weeks. I'll have to chrono it when I get back.
  18. Have you tried new brass? I chased a .38 Short Colt issue of crushing primers, only to finally find out it was the brass.
  19. I'll chrono it on Thursday, and post it.
  20. That's a good question. Here's another snap
