Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. I have 148gr Outdoorsman RimRock loaded to 1.045”. The max length in my Glock 34 & CZ shadow is 1.075”
  2. I’ve used small rifle primers and haven’t noticed a difference in 4 different pistols. I would suggest them for a revolver with a lightened spring but everything else seems to work fine. Never had a miss fire.
  3. In my Springfield 911, pretty much the same gun, it does fine with 95gr RN, with 3.1 of Titegroup. I shot about 500 rounds through it now, and it works well. The first couple hundred jammed sometimes, but now it’s good. I also use a SupeVel hollow point, and it functions flawlessly.
  4. I agree it’s extractor tension.
  5. Yes I did! I still haven’t used them yet. I’ve been looking for more, I shoot quite a lot.
  6. I’ve been looking for the same information as you. At The Pin Shoot, full power loads are needed to knock pins 3’ off the 3 tier table. 230gr bullets are what most use, especially in 38 special cases. Blue Dot is the powder of choice, but as others mention, #7 or 9 work on too. Most are running the loads quite a lot hotter than mention above. It’s been frustrating to see no one has been making these bullets for several years and Blue Dot is impossible to find…
  7. I agree that the heavier bullets feel better/less recoil pulse, but the 124gr seems to shoot more accurately in the shadow 2. I tried a lot of combinations of powder, seating depths, and bullet weights. I shoot the lighter bullets in my CZ, Glock 34, but heavier in my 986. It is way more accurate with 145s.
  8. I prefer heavy and slow as well. My 9mm revolver likes 145gr and my .38 special shoots 200gr rounds nose Bullets really well.
  9. I’m glad you enjoyed it! The Pin Shoot is a great match where a large group of like minded people come together and have fun for a week each year. Hope to meet you next year!
  10. I have the same issues in my 986…. Try nickel plated brass, that’s my next thing for me.
  11. No, it looks fine. Fouled though! My pin gun is almost a smooth bore, but still shoots really well. I give your barrel a good cleaning and shoot another 100k through it.
  12. With extraction, I’ve read the nickel plates brass works better. My 986 has the same issues…. I’ve tried separating all the brass, undersize dies, and my last ditch effort will be nickel brass. I use 145gr bullets in mine with 3.1TG. I tried 9x21but it doesn’t fit…. My father in law has the 929 & they didn’t work in his either.
  13. Do you have to knock the pins off the table? I shoot at The Pin shoot, and a 9mm won’t be competitive. They are not reliable to push pins off a table 3.5’ deep. Most revolvers are 45 ACP with 230-255, 38 special loads with 230gr wad cutters, or .357 mag with 230 wad cutters. Obviously the 44s & up work as well too. Typically heavier the bullets the better. Good luck in you competitions!
  14. I agree with out of battery. Glad you are ok!
  15. I have the AET 6” in my 38 super and it shoots amazing with 122gr Bullets. It does have the 1:24 gain twist rifling. My other Schuemann’s are .45ACP ultimatch bull barrel and Hybrids(6 port). I lose about 8-10% velocity in the hybrid, but the ports work as advertised! In my opinion, 3-4 ports would be pretty darn flat shooting. You may need to decrease your recoil spring in the slide, or it may not cycle.
