    Now I need some mags........ hmmm.......... ;) ;) Thanks for compliments Howard! Brian always has done nice work....I just managed to coax him out of semi-retirement.

    Details, for those who want them: 38 super (of course), setup for ME as a Southpaw. :)

    Long story short, after making sure the wifey had a working blaster ( I bought her a Brazos), I took her old frame and had it redone and a new top end built so I could have my OWN OPEN blaster now. I'm very excited.

    One of our resident Enos forum members built it for me. ( Thanks again Brian H!)

    Here are some pics:

    perfect load..

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Bob recommends either n105 or IMR 4756 in 38 super. 3n38 works well also but you'll most likely get fireballs out of the comp like I do in mine. Bob does not recommend 3n37 or n350.

    The right load (around 10.5 of n105) will yield a dot that doesn't lift. The only thing is that n105 isn't available anywhere right now.

    I'm using IMR 4756 w/ a 124g. MG JHP. Load is about 8.5g. I try to stick with Bob's recommendations.

    I'd recommend one of the 'burbs, just FYI...... no one actually 'lives' in Dallas. :D Where will you be working?

    And yeah, come check out our local shooters forum, too. (the admin is a REALLY nice guy, too. ;) )

    Catfish and the gang are good folks........ you'll have a good time.

    Vectran SP2-- what's the latest?

    Yeah, it's pretty interesting that it seems to be 'hearsay' and what not........ I bet SOMEBODY has the scoop. We'll just wait till the right person reads this thread and fills in the inquiring minds who want to know. :) Thanks to all so far.

    -Mike

    PS... I did shoot some of it loaded in 38 super-- not too bad, all in all.

    Vectran SP2-- what's the latest?

    I have a friend of mine who has a stockpile of VectranSP2, but even he is starting to get low. I wasn't shooting Open or paying attention to the powder info back when the product became unavailable in the US.... can someone give me a quick run down on why it is no longer available, and what efforts have been made to try and get it? I'm happy with using IMR4756, but he asked me and I figured I'd try and find out.......... thanks to all!

    Very solid match today.....you looked very smooth. Excellent gun control and mag changes. I can see the hard work paying off for you.....keep up the good work. You finished 11th overall at the match, and that's shooting Production. Damn good job.

    Rechambering to 9 x23

    in General Gunsmithing

    Posted · Edited by cnemikeman

    Any particular reason for wanting to make the change? Most people that aren't happy with 9x19 go to .38 super..... that being said, just had rebarreled an 9 x 23 Open gun, so I've got some experience working with the cartridge, but had a gunsmith do the change.
