  1. Hey guys, A few more questions.. As I am still waiting for my last few parts to come in I can not just test with a few dummy rounds, and this leads me to my question.. 1. Will the current .40 extractor work on the 9mm cases? (I see some post around the WWW that states the .40 extractor is best and will work fine) 2. Will the current .40 ejector work with a little help, like a slight bend? Thanks!
  2. Thanks for.replies guys... I found a few threads with some good stuff. I ordered just about everything to convert to 9mm, with the complete Zev drop in trigger kit, comes with lightened firing pin, safety, and all springs.. I also got serving sights, mags, magwell, lonewolf conversion barrel, steel guide rod, the little bushing to allow for the gen 3 rod, and ismi spring #13... About the last thing I'm researching is a need for a new extractor for the 9mm case???? From a 34, Or not needed? I'm looking at the one at midway made by lonewolf.. Your input is appreciated guys... Ps. Ill stay a little above the 125pf floor for my loads as.well..
  3. Anyone got links to the zev stuff for sale? Thanks!
  4. I'm thinking limited actually.. any ideas how to handle the recoil spring?
  5. Hey Y'all, I am converting a gen4 g35 to 9mm. I have just about everything figured out but recoil springs. Going for major pf. Must I get the dual spring setup again, if so which? Or is there some kind of trick to use the gen3 spring and guide rod? (Preffered) Also, an extractor of a g34 should be installed as.well? Thanks for help guys!!!
  6. Thanks Shepheard, I have some of that swiss stuff coming in also. Vhitavuiori I believe.... I paper punch and steel plate knock down. I burned through my last few boxes of , dare I say it?,Winchester white box the other day in my G19.. Boy was it the smokiest thing I have seen in a long time.. I collected the brass and said good bye to cheap factory ammo. cheers
  7. Hey Folks, I just purchased about 8 lbs or accurate No.5, so any notes on past experiences with this particular powder would be greatly appreciated. Thx.!!
  8. Thanks guys.. Ok so after doing some reading and chart sniffing I have another question.. I see that a 180 grain hornady XTP needs 5.9grains of accurate N0.5 to start with a velocity of 849fps. (would this be called the minor PF load?) @152PF I see that a 180 grain hornady XTP needs 6.6grains of accurate N0.5 to MAX with a velocity of 965fps. (would this be called the Major PF load?) @173PF If my understanding is correct here, the "PF" is simply stating the "SUM" of results of information calculated and used , as it relates to the specific load data. IS there a reason to "sum" it up? THanks! Told ya Im a NooB!
  9. Dang it! You guys Rock! Thank you!
  10. Hey all, How does one arrive at figuring the "pf" for the load? I have a Chrony on order but have never used, nor know of how to figure the pf using such a machine.. This noob really appreciates any help!
  11. Hey Folks, Well I am Very interested in this type of competition! From what I have gathered so far I would like to shoot in L-10, not sure if major or minor loads.. ( I do reload ) Most likely will be shooting my XD 40 4" with some small mods like, adjustable sights, coffin cut slide, trigger job and lighter striker / indicator pins, magwell... (limited with the 12 capacity mags) How do I get started and what is recommended to begin training, practicing on these types actual drills with people of the like mindedness of the sport? I simply target practice at the range and practice a few drills, but no one to really help me develop for this particular sport.. LIke I said, a real NooB. I Much appreciate the help folks!
  12. Please share the answer! I recently bought an XDm 40 and am considering building a limited gun. A coffin cut would be sweet, but do you have to go to a lighter spring? Yes sir... I am going to a 16# spring and getting a 14# to try out also, though I anticipate the 14# to be too light.. a 1911 guide rod and 16# spring.. enjoy.
  13. Yeah she is all set up today with my >40 cal. tool head all adjusted sweet! ...now all im waiting on is primers and powder! I did notice after all the extras like the .223 conversion kit, multiple tool plates, die kits, and powder stations, I lacked one thing.. A powder funnel for my 9mm, everything else was there.. So, I ordered one from B.E. tonight and a few other things. My box for the case feeder lacked the bolts that mounted the main bar, that holds the feeder elevated. I called support and they have a packet on the way.. NO B.S. warranty, gotta luv it! BE in the reload video from the 90's rocked too!
  14. Hey Folks, Thinking of sending my slide off to get some coffin cuts to reduce weight. ..I figured it out.. haha thnaks!
  15. Holy cow, I just ordered 2/9/2010 and just got it today - 2/11/2010. Thanks Brian Enos for calling me directly and straightening out my NooB order list. I must say, what a nice setup.. I am a happy clam drilling holes in a bench and setting up a new press..
  16. Holy Moly Guys! I ordered my Dilloon 650 with all the bells and whistles on 2/9/2010 and I just got it all today, 2/11/2010!!!! Somebody is really on it! Now I wish the damn grunt labor force in vegas moved that fast! :devil:haha... Now to build a press, muahahaha! THanks B.E. !!
  17. Thank you sir. ok, so in production = no magwells??
  18. Hey Folks, Currently I am tweaking my xd.40 to probably shoot in limited 10 class because of my mag issue not going above 12-15 at best. What do you all recommend that coincides with the rule book. yes I looked at the rule book for the class already and see something funny already.. I have installed a magwell. I thought I read the rule book say they are OK with no flanging out to a larger diameter? WTF! My magwell flares out, thats the point! Did I interperet wrong? I will probably lighten trigger a lil and I already have sime nice Dawson sights on the way... I also have a 9mm semi-drop in barrel for plinking. (from PistolGear) Was this a good idea? Cheers!
  19. Thanks guys much appreciated.. Books on way from amazon now. I havend been out desert sportsman yet, but some bench shooter friends of mine will have me out there soonwith the new rifle on way. I do however go out to Desert Hills lots recently with my new membership.. May your ballistics always be perfect and your sights always on target!
  20. Hey Folks, Well as said, Im a noob at this and with the Dilloin on the way, I am trying to get my learning done while waiting.. I was wondering wher can I find a legend, or a manual or something that references loading info such as: 180 Montana Gold CMJ's 3.5 Grains of Titegroup Winchester Brass Federal Small Pistol Primers 1.130 OAL 0.418 Crimp Will the reloading books that come with the Dillon tell me this info for my reloading fun? I may be over thinking things as usual, but I am trying to wrap my head around how to know how many grains of powder I will need on specific loads and the bullet weights that correspond with the pressure created in the specific barrel dimensions.... Not to mention how many times I should reload brass before throwing it out - with or without visible signs? yes I have begun to look at ballistic charts and see the pressures created with different loads and thats where all the squirrels start running around the noggin. Appreciate the help guys! Have fun and stay safe out there! 2nd Amendment rocks!
  21. Heck yeah!! Hey i just caught that you guys are in Nevada too! Las Vegas..? Nice videos!! That looks like the stuff right there!

(boulder city area) I'm sure I'll see you competition guys in the forums with my noob questions real soon.. ;-) (i stuck the magwell on tonight and ordered some Dawson sights.) happy spring festival!
  23. Hey Folks, Shooting is a new hobby for me and wifey.. Just got our CCW's for protection and I will probably join a competition league. we are shooting xd 40 for comp gun (already have mod parts on bench), G19 x2 for carry, Savage 22' accutrigger, heavy ss fluted barrel for long shots, more to come.. We have a Dillon 650 being shipped From BE also, with some good bells and whistles attached.. (.40, 9mm, and .223 dies) Thanks for all the good info, videos, and shootemup lingo! Cheers!
