    CZ SP01 and lead

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Posted

    Can you run lead projectiles in a CZ SP01? Our indoor range only allows lead rounds and I would like to get some extra practice in this winter. Thanks

    Yes, no problem. I´ve run in my sp01, 147 gr lead(.356 no crimp, OAL:1.115") loads with Titegroup, N330 and Solo 1000. Good luck.

    glock death jam

    Replace the Locking Block. Good luck

    ahh, the problem persists.

    even with all factory parts the gun does the same jam as before.

    did a detail strip of the pistol and i found a severely worn magazine catch.

    replaced it and the gun seems to run 100 percent even with the damaged rod(new recoil spring though)

    Reloading moving right to left

    in Handgun Techniques

    Posted

    I really did try to search this one out - and I can't find a thing. Maybe it's too basic - my experience is 13 matches total (11 Prod, 2 Open).

    I haven't had this happen since moving to open, but it did come up several times in Production, and I'm certain it will come up again.

    I try to consider all my options when evaluating a stage. Sometimes it's most efficient for me to be moving right to left. My reloads heading that direction (I'm right handed) are awkward (and that's putting it mildly), being very conscious of the 180. Is there an 'best practice' for this type reload ? I'm not talking about shooting while moving (I'm still a bit new for that). I'm talking about running between shooting positions.

    See Manny Bragg video at stage 28 of the last WS 2005 in Ecuador, from R to L, he made the relaod as Julien explained.

    11.8.3 All rule interpretations published on the IPSC website will be deemed to be precedents and will be applied to all IPSC sanctioned matches commencing on or after 7 days from the date of publication. All such interpretations are subject to ratification or modification at the next IPSC Assembly.

    4. Can I apply skateboard or grip tape to the factory grips, or change the grips, of my Production Division Pistol?

    Yes. See Point 20.3 of Appendix D4 in the January 2006 Edition of the IPSC Handgun rulebook.

    If you want to apply grip tape in a Glock, of course, you have to apply in front strap and rear strap, same to any production approved pistol.

    NROI Rulings

    Title: Replacement barrels

    Created: 3/05/07

    Updated: 3/13/07

    Effective: 3/13/07

    Rule number: US Appendix D9 2

    Applies to: Pistol

    Ruling authority: Director of NROI

    Status: Released

    Question

    I have a Glock model 20 which is 10mm, can I replace the barrel for this with a .40 S&W and have it still legal for competition?

    Ruling

    "same as original factory standard" Is interpreted to mean equivalent to the factory barrel for that model of firearm in all ways including (but not limited to) caliber, chambering, length, weight and profile. This would make what you request illegal for Production Division.

    Power Factor At Higher Elevation/altitude

    Effect temperature has to do more with the bullet thrust (force completely expended in the first instance, which moves the bullet through the barrel then air. Powder temp. sensitivity). Now, exterior ballistic, in theory, aerodynamic drag is directly related to the air density flowing past the bullet. As altitude increases, air density decrease, so less drag more bullet velocity, assuming same inicial thrust.

    As I said, it's colder on average, but we're talking about two distinct occurrences here, the first match and the second match. There is no information whether the first was in February at sea level or the second at the start of August. The only information we were provided was that there was an altitude change, which only inherently means a pressure change. It suggests a temperature change.

    As I said:

    As altitude increases, air density, pressure, and temperature decrease, so less drag more bullet velocity. I was talking about the characteristics of the standard atmosphere while altitude increase. You can see, it is not only a pressure change.

    Alellis wanted to know is if he go to shoot at a different range and it is 500 ft higher ( above sea level) how will it affect his load and is there a formula to figure out how much to increase/decrease the powder charge to maintain power factor.

    Anyways what I want to know is if I go to shoot at a different range and it is 500 ft higher ( above sea level) how will it affect my load and is there a formula to figure out how much to increase/decrease the powder charge to maintain power factor.

    What all you say about not noticeable difference. In theory, as altitude increases, air density, pressure, and temperature decrease, so less drag more bullet velocity, but the temperature(lower) of the propellant (powder) in a cartridge at the instant of ignition can have an effect on chamber pressure. If a gun is sighted in on a target range at some temperature, and then is fired in another environment in which the propellant temperature is different, the muzzle velocity of a bullet can be different compared to what it was when the gun was sighted in. The difference in muzzle velocity because powder temperature. The temperature sensitivity of different powders varies from one type to another. Only the manufacturer of any type of powder can quantify the temperature sensitivity of that powder to a handloader.

    It´s not easy to find a formula to figure out how much to increase/decrease the powder charge to maintain power factor.

    Where's the I in IDPA?

    Ted:

    On Jan'05, the Venezuelan government started a new process to grant the new permits to people carry firearms. For competition, the firearms were allowed, civilian shooters from Venezuela came to the 2004 IDPA Nationals with their own guns. For the FL Open 2005, on Feb.´05, a group of Venezuelan shooters came to the match with their own guns too.
