[Troubleshooting Wimpy .45 Loads]

I found that I really disliked the 155's in a .45. Snappier than other bullet weights. I tried 155,185,200 and 230. I got less gun movement and felt recoil with the 200's. I believe that I settled on 3.0 grains of Bullseye for that. I used it to shoot steel.

[What Color Svi Grip Handle???]

I am afraid that I vote for the green as well. Nice to have a light hearted thread. Started my morning with a chuckle while I procrastinate before settling in to the grind.

Nobody would give you grief if they didn't love you.

Welcome to the dark side, Luke.

[Which Cal. For New Open Gun?]

I was shooting a STI competitor - a full size gun. I got a Dawson minigun in April. I have a strong preference for the shorter gun. Lighter, better pointing, more style points - but considerably more expensive and a longer wait to get.

I have never had the gun fail to feed or jam in 10,000 rounds. Accurate and fast. Dawson did a great job.

I started with 38 super, am migrating over to 38 super comp - slightly higher mag capacity in a big stick, less mag issues are the reasons.

[Open Gun Powder/load Observations]

In my Dawson minigun with 2 ports, I am using 8.7 grs IMR 4756 with a Montana Gold 124gr JHP for 1360 fps - 169PF. Remington 38 super brass (for now - am migrating to supercomp soon)
