Same as always. Proper technique does the biggest difference. Heavier buffer weight and stronger spring, for such powerful loads I would go the Blitzkrieg 5015HD with the extra weight, as short stroke as possible and a strong spring like 308 JP, Tubbs flat 308 or red Sprinco, maybe sth even stronger. A comp will provide the last touch. I prefer upward vents only to give flatness rather than softness.
And 163 PF is not so bad. In my 16" CMMG the most accurate factory ammo (in my rifle) , Geco 124 gr, does 156 PF and is still very managable. Not much difference from my 140 PF hand loads. In my rifle I'm going with the most accurate load and tuning the rifle for it. Recoil is not so much a factor in rifle as with pistols.
Couldn’t agree more on the proper technique. I’ll add some of those springs to the list when I grab the tungsten weights. Thanks for the info!

B, take a look at Wiland USA's LLW barrel. It is a 5.5" rifled barrel with a brazed on shroud to get to 16.1". http://wilandusa.com/ar-pcc-llw-barrel-9mm/
That will drop your hot rounds down by 200-250fps, decrease recoil, and speed up transitions. I have their LLW 22 barrel on my RFRO gun and the transitions are lightning fast.
Great price on those barrels! I hadn’t heard of them before. Do you use that barrel in your setup? If the 5 tungsten weights don’t slow down the recoil enough I’ll grab one and see how it does with the pair. Thanks for the information!

Pick up the JP Short Stroke Conversion kit (#JPSCS2-9SS-4/5K) and 2 Tungsten Weights (#JPSCS-TUNGSTEN). This will let you swap your current standard SCS to a 5 weight Short Stroke with all 5 weights being tungsten. This is my preferred buffer setup for suppressed or hot ammo.
Darq thanks a lot for the info. That was the option I was leaning towards, I’ll give JP a call tomorrow and get that stuff on order. Thanks again!

The ammo is abundant and no cost to me so before you troll for shooting such hot ammo, free is free
. Now, how do I tame the load? I run a 14.5 JP barrel with a silent capture, and a JP bcg Thanks for the help in advance

Definitely shoot one if you get a chance. I shot Lan's and was impressed.AK platform is not my cup of tea.....but the rifle ran super smooth.Lan's trigger was so good that it almost was like shooting a full auto.
I would love to shoot one. Hopefully someone in the OKC area ends up with one soon... If the trigger is that good well then ya never know, how did it drive? recoil feel ok? what kind of loads were you shooting?

I don't see the benefit. You can already buy 13oz. 16.1" barrels. Why go to great lengths to save one or two ounces.
That being said, I can see this in PCC. With a 6" to 10" barrel you can use the same load you use in your CO, Production or Limited minor gun and minimize recoil.
I agree with you on both. I think it may be a decent option for 22 if you are a project kinda guy...and it could be cheaper i suppose. for PCC there is definitely a benefit. you think you can be to light? i haven't ever shot a gun at steel challenge that was super light I always used my green nordic AR-22... its pretty light but i primarily wanted it to be for practicing three gun when i got it...

I had this happen. Had an order of 50,000 come from PD. I had a buddy that worked at my local Post Office, and he called me asking what in the world I had ordered. I told him I would be by with my truck to get them from the loading dock, but my poor, industrious delivery driver had loaded everything in his car already when I got there. I got back home and he was huffing and puffing carrying boxes down my driveway. I got him a Christmas present that year.
wow that poor guy. when they started the flat rate shipping back in the day and the bullet companies started offering quantity that would fit into those boxes and not be over the 65 lbs... i think its 65 lbs, maybe 70 i was shocked. i always met my delivery guy at his truck and told him just show me where they are haha. he got used to it every 2-3 months having a few cases of bullets to load. I think he appreciates me coming and grabbing them. Nice you got him a little xmas present haha

@Blurryvisions Great idea, Thanks!
I am here for you buddy. my Atlas gun has the ziggy on it, and my brothers open gun has it to. I like it cause its out of the way. I never liked slide rackers in the past but i am starting to become a fan of them... the fact that i don't have to look down to rack it like i used to is nice once its practiced. I have a lot of videos showing me turn the gun sideways to grab the slide and rack it. didn't realize it was costing me a bunch of time and i had to take my eyes off the target. anyway good luck again hope you find what you need.

did anyone ever have any issues with the RTS2's? I am a delta point guy and i know there were some issues here and there with the dot modules in them. I watch 2 RTS2's go down in the same match...DOT just disappeared and never came back. IDK if this was a batching problem or what. I personally never had any issues with the delta points but was always skeptical on the RTS2's

I just worked a ton of OT and got a refund from some other stuff. All told it's poking around 4500 left in the 'gun fun' bucket. And really I'd only like to spend a portion of that anyway.
I don't think I can afford a true 'custom' 1911, and I know for sure it would be a wasted value on me. If I wanted to spend 1500 or so, what would I look for? It'll be a fun, range, maybe try USPSA single stack or something (unless someone has a double stack suggestion I guess).
Dan Wessons get good reviews, but the lower entry level vigil has an aluminum frame, and I'm not sure about that. Meanwhile the higher tier guns seem to start around 2000$
I'm open to single/double stacks, and 45 or 9. I know the Springfields get good reviews, I was just curious about buying a better gun instead.
Edit: I found Dawson Precision has STI Edges for 2k. So let's use 2k as a better base line?
if you ever wanted an STI edge you better snatch one up for that price. when they are gone, they are gone... STI won't be making anymore of them

This way probably the best thing to do, what milling is needed to get it fit? Ive just started shooting open about 6 weeks ago. So, that being said. Im super noob. Lol
maybe throw a question in the gunsmithing section for the milling required for the ziggy... i have seen a lot of youtube videos making this cut but idk what tooling it is. GL

when boomer shooter was active they had a few guys do big orders and go pick them up after a match. i have also heard of guys contacting a post master to let them know that they have 30-40 boxes of flat rate shipping coming and that they can hold it for them and they will come pick them up from the post office rather then the post office trying to deliver them over a month haha.

I've been going through my set up of late considering one of these new Mark7 loaders. I cant help but to wonder how the heck I actually got to this point. Currently there is a Super 1050 set up in 45acp, an RL 1050 set up in 9mm, and a XL 650 set up in 223... but have all other quick changes either on the 1050 or 650 that I shoot. When looking I cant help but think this is way over kill.
Anyone else every thought about moving from multiple presses down to one... maybe even two?
I probably have close to most reloaders dream set up over here... just realized, wow... I have major money wrapped up in loading gear.
I remember when I started, my first press was a XL650. Moved from that to 2 XL650's. Sold those and went to a single RL 1050. once I stopped shooting for a few years, I moved those presses and moved. I couldnt stand the thought of paying for ammo so I picked up a 550... Shortly after I got a Super 1050. Came up on a "yard sale deal" on an RL1050 and added that, and then traded a 550 for a 650.... its been a crazy 20 years or so... at least in terms of reloading and that process.
What as been your progression of presses? Any regrets? What does your current set up consist of?
I just stick with the 650. I have all the quick change kits for it that i need...I personally enjoy the process of loading ammo and don't really want it automated. I can go sit out in the garage in peace for an hour and crank out 500 or any round at a comfortable pace... i feel everything in my hand happening so i know if theres an issue with a case. I am not shooting like i used to but when i was active i was shooting atleast 800rds a month in matches. 650 has always been my style. I keep it lubed and cleaned and it just runs and runs and runs. different strokes for different folks i think. sounds like your set up is a dream for sure

the quality of light actually affect the powder drop? that would drive me bonkers haha. interesting. i love the process of reloading, i think ill snatch up some MG 124JHP's for some winter reloading 9mm minor for the win : ) 3.5gr of vita 310 gets me 135pf out of a 6 inch tribrid. bets gun i have ever owned

Hi, guys. I’m new to reloading and have a question. What are some of the ways that you lube your case’s. Right now I put a couple handfuls into a plastic container and just spray case lube in, put a lid on and roll them around. I feel like that when I spray it in a lot goes inside the cases. And I can’t do very many at a time either.
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
I just spray some dillon lube into a 1 gal ziplock back, add the cases i want lubed, shake it a bit and done and done...i use to spray it on, never had any issues with it getting in the cases and causing a problem... I'm sure if you flooded a case it might but a little spray in my experience never hurt my reloads... good luck and enjoy the process of reloading. remember, keep it simple.....what kind of cases are you lubing? handgun? i quit using lube as i don't think it is req when using good dies like dillon carbide dies. it does make it a much smother process but i also had to roll them around in a towel after loading to get the case lube off to case gauge... just another step i suppose

primarily why I lost interest in 3gun also. Running from one bay to another, then over the berm to another bay to shoot 400 yards got old.
I agree with you on this but it was more practical to do that kinda stuff then guess your way around a death star. I like getting my heart rate up before i shot long distance because I'm not a sniper... I think if you ever got in a position where you had to defend yourself from zombies your heart rate would be sky high. so i think running and gunning and up and over the berms isn't to big of a deal.

Cha-lee hit this one right on the head. you can practice that one dry firing in the garage and fix that habit. crazy how such a small problem can cost you so many points and time on the clock. i guess that is just the name of the game though.
-
i am not a fan of these and neither is my pistol smith... can't go wrong with a traditional one, i say ditch the aftec and never look back... its just one more thing you have to worry about replacing the springs on or some other thing to beat into submission trying to get it to run. get an ed browning or wilson extractor and call it a day. you can tune them your self if you get the powercustom jig and have a pull tester.
-
Surefire for the win...I have friends that have ran that comp for years. It does a good job and its not obnoxious like a SJC or Thunder comp. Surefire is the better option for what your looking for IMO
-
It looks like the built the rifle with purpose but its gonna need a really long magazine release for quick reloads... Probably something like the one of the saiga 12 shotguns from R&R.. does the stock on that fold up as well?

So I put together my first batch of .223
I hand-cycled them through my ar-15, and about 30% are hard to manually eject...i.e. it takes alot of effort [or more than the rest] to pull the charging handle back and eject them...
Is something setup wrong? They were sized correctly, and I measured the hard-to-eject ones and everything checked out!
I have this same problem in my JP barrel... I just wasn't getting them resized right or trimmed enough.
-
the indoor range I shoot at doesn't allow anything that has a steel core or attracts a magnet...based on the ricochet factor or so they say....

if your a history buff go see the grassy knoll and the book depository where JFK was assassinated. its not to far from DFW
AR-Gold PCC limited run

Is anyone running one of these limited production run triggers. If so, what do you think about it and is it comparable to one of the .223 gold triggers?
