Rabid Mule

Hundred & five bucks for 20 rounds? I'll pass.

Aren't HS-6 & WW 540 the same? WW 571 & HS-7 were also equivalent if I recall correctly.

Been using MG 115 JHP, 9.0 gr VV 3N38 @ 1.155" in a KKM (9mm/40) barrel in my Glock 22. Two poppel holes in the barrel. This loads shoots flat and soft in the hand. Dot tracks real nice. Tough on the bystanders though, because the 9 grains puts up a seriously impressive blast. I'll post my chrono data for this load once I locate my range notebook (I put it somewhere "safe" - you know how that goes...)

Standing on top of a sawhorse in the garage, rearranging stuff in the attic space above. Forgetting that I was not standing on the ground and making a sharp and sudden 90 degree turn. Straight down - legs open wide the tenderest parts of my anatomy coming to a sudden stop on the top of the sawhorse. Passing out from the pain and coming to some time later in some SERIOUS agony. Pain went away after a few weeks. That was 35 years ago and I still wince when I think of it. Oh, I've never stood upon a saw horse again.

Been running 9.0 3N38 behind a MG 115 seated at 1.155" in my 9 Major Glock. Lots of gas to work the comp. Impressive fireball, but very flat shooting and soft in the hand. I tried some HS-6, but never found a load I liked. Going to try some AutoComp next - just because....

But who has Zeros in stock? I've been checking Powder Valley and Roze Dist for the last 16 months - nothing! Please tell us your secret. Inquiring minds want to know!

Good to hear that PD has caught up on production. I ordered 2,000 147 gr last March. Received them in October. Haven't ordered from them since, but just might try again.

I have a major 9 built on a Glock 22, KKM 40/9 barrel. I'm getting occasional failures to fire. Primers lightly dimpled, but no ignition. Tried several different primer brands (and yes all are fully seated). Primer brand doesn't seem to matter. I get FTFs with all of them. I swapped out the striker and striker spring with those from another Glock. The FTFs continued in the open gun and there were no malfs in the other gun. So it looks to me that the striker/spring can't be the reason. The chamber was reamed out by the builder when he built the gun. He did so because it was too tight and wouldn't seat my rounds all the way. The chamber liked some profiles, but not others. I questioned the smith about the possibility that the chamber may have been reamed a bit too much and thus cause head space issues. He says no, that the extractor holds the round against the breech face anyway. I'm new to this and clueless so I'd appreciate hearing any and all theories.
