Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. The increased sight radius & the increased mass to help control recoil! If possible shoot the 9L and see for yourself if it is worth the effort! BTW, what does bring the price to? Just curious, I have been eyeing the 9L or 9PRO for a bit!
  2. As far as going down to 3.8 from 4.0, I think that was more of a lesson on dealing with no load data. We tested the 3.8 loads & had problems so we step up to 4.0. These functioned fine for the 10 rds. I guess I should have tested more!
  3. Thanks for the help. The bullet is a cast LRN from Bullet Works! Sorry, I left off the zeroes. OAL = 1.100 This IS NOT a competition gun!! It is a factory SW9VE! No mods! No chrono available! Factory functions problem free! FTE was an ejection problem! Slide did fail to lock back on a couple of mags! Normally does! Chamber check ok! Another 100 rds & Im leaning further to this being a light load problem! Working up a heavier load now! Thanks again for the help!
  4. I am new to guns, shooting, reloading & competition shooting! WAIT, don't leave yet!! I have a mentor who took me under his wing. He has 30+ yrs experience in firarms & reloading! Now on to my problem. I am loading a 115gr cast LRN 9mm bullet with 4.0 gr of 231! In the three loading manuals he has, (both old & new) there was no data on 231 or bullseye load for 115gr. We did an online search with no results. With our thoughts & the suggestions of others in the reloading world, we went with the data for the 124gr LRN. This brought us to the 4.0/231 load. We went with a 3.8 load to start with just to be safe! We loaded 10 rds and tried them in my gun. Had 1 loading malfunction. It ejected the cartridge but failded to put the next into the chamber. We loaded 10 more with 4.0 & they functioned properly. So I ran off several hundred rounds! I put another 100rds through the gun the next day & had around a dozen mulfunctions. FTE, FTL & some that didn't seat fully into the chamber. I have since come across more info that leads me to believe these are "light" loads! Which I feel jives with the problems that I described. BUT, I fellow shooter brought up a length issue he had with his .40 S&W. His problems resembled mine. These were seated to an OAL of 1.1 per reference! I am wanting to try a 4.3/231 load at the same length! 1 adjustment at a time!! Thanks for any comments or suggestions!!
  5. I just received an order of 9mm from Them! They arrived 3 business days after I placed the order! The price with shipping was cheaper than most purchase prices I could find! I am fairly new so I don't have near the connections as many of you, but I was very happy with all aspects of the purchase!
  6. Ok, I can see it now! I was running through it in my head & grabbing the mag wrong. You have the footplate in your palm as you draw the mag. I was making a bit more difficult. Ill give it a shot this evening. Thank you sir!
  7. That is exactly why I joined this forum!! I was carrying the mags facing backwards also! I tend to over analyze things a bit so bare with me. When I decided which way to carry the mags, I analyzed the movements. It seemed to be the less movement. You just lift the mag & lift it to the magwell. Not twisting. I'll have to try it the other way this evening!
  8. I will check it out!! Thanks for all the welcomes!!
  9. Just trying to soak up some knowledge. Just about to get my feet wet in my 1st USPSA competition. Browsing post & asking questions at a couple of other known forums, I kept getting references to this site! So I figured I would come & get the info 1st hand! Look forward to getting to know some folks!
