Thank goodness. I really need some regular clays. Universal clays is a good supstitute for Win 231/HP38. I already overpaid for titegroup but I don't care since its getting used.

Or maybe you do a great job loading rounds that work great in your reliable equipment. Nope, he is incredibly lucky.

Can we order those barrels from the land down under? I would like a longer barrel for my Kadet Kit

I wonder how many folks use stainless steel media and sort their brass by headstamp ...

1. No 2. The cheapest one that works. 3. Hornady one shot is less messy but I just skip lubing the cases since I use Dillon Carbide dies.

Wow, that seems offaly low. Which profile is this? Yeah, the manufacturer data is useless to me since the HDY XTP is FMJ and a totally different profile.

Hello, I was going to make up a load for my buddy's Glock 17 with 700x and 147 9mm with an OAL of 1.130" To get a PF of 130 out a 9mm 1911 I previously used 3.2g of Titegoup and 3.5-3.6g of SOLO 1000. So I figured the range I am looking at will be around 3.1 to 3.4 grains of 700x to achieve the same results. Has anyone used this combo before?

1. If you want to play with your COL, I would suggest loading them as long as your magazine and chamber will take. Then make a few batches where you shorten the COL by .0010". Using the same headstamp and measuring each bullet individually will help reduce any unwanted variables. I suggest setting up some sort of accuracy test to measure the changes. Some people prefer bench resting their guns with a sandbag at 25 to 30 yards for this. Then see which group is the tightest. I suggest doing a few groups of 3 to 5 shots for each batch. 2. It is hard to say without chronographing. I was told back in the day that every .0010 change of COL = .1 grains of powder. Shorter is like having more powder while longer is like having less poweder. However, I don't find that the COL affects velocity that much but without chronographing the loads, its impossible to say for sure. 3. Every barrel is slightly different and if you go with an aftermarket barrel, then it will be difficult to say. Stock barrels tend to have similar tolerances. I find that Glocks and Sigs, for example, can feed nearly any bullet that fits in the mag. CZ75's on the other hand tend to have issues with wide shouldered lead bullets due to the rifling starting early. The optimal COL setup is slightly different for each setup but that is the fun part about reloading. 4. I tend to make a few dummy bullets the COL as long as I can to barely fit in the magazine. Then I do the plunk test. If it works, I start from there, if it doesn't, I will shorten the COL till it does. As far as the powder charges go, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you want low recoil loads, faster powders tend to work better. If you want high velocity loads, slower powder works better. The safe way to work up loads is to start low and work your way up. I generally start .2g above the minimum and I make a few batches with each one increasing by .2g until I get to the velocity I want. Once I find out what works for me, I make a few batches of those loads and then check which one groups tighter. Now this leads into playing with the COL as well. Its a long process and sometimes I take a shortcut and ask other's what recipe they use and then do my testing in that rangel.

Did you adjust the pre travel? If its too aggressive, it could explain your issue. I spent an hour monkeying with it to find out the way they send it to you is pretty much where it should be.

This works well for Bear Creek 147g bullets as well.I also use Titegroup amd SOLO 1000 for this load.

haven't seen any in awhile.ext barrels are available. so can make something look like one if yo wish Stuart sold me mine 4 years ago ...The velocity difference is very small.

Poor baby! I know, right?

I prefer to stock with titegroup even though it has a small amount of smoke. I like the recoil impulse, it is very efficient, and it meters very well.

The CZ75 factory grips would be awesome.

I may have to give these a whirl. Does the coating build up like the Bear Creek Moly or is it as clean as FMJ?

According to EAA's description that us the case but it weighs 39 ounces without a magazine.

I actually found that stock rubber grips worked better for me than grip tape and aluminum grips.

That is what I found out as well. It is a shame really since affordable caliber conversions is what drew to the Witness platform in the first place. For now I will be content switching barrels and magazines. I am sad that I just missed out on a used .40 Limited slide that was for sale.

That is a good question. I have not figured out which profile I like better. They both feel a tad softer than the 115g and 124g. The 135g would probably be better for reliability and compatibility while the 147g would be better for steel plates and bowling pins.I honestly don't spend a lot of time on bullseye accuracy but both of these loads have no issues with 25 to 35 yard targets during a match and the SD I see over the chrono is less than 8. The only issue I see with moly coating is that it builds up in the chamber and around the barrel after a few hundred rounds.

You don't say.

Hello, I was wondering if there was anyone in the US that is capable of transforming my Elite Match frame to something similar to a Stock 1 and refinish it as well? I live in commiefornia so I have to work with what I have.

Hey now, I do my best to shoot SPP cases at matches and then try to recover and equal or greater amount of LPP brass.

Well I only purchased the tools since I never send my stuff out to get worked on. If I had done the plunk test with the 124g RN Bear Creeks on all of my other 9mm pistols I would have discovered that my CZ's were the only ones with the issue. On the plus side I have Manson Reamers in 9mm, .40 S&W (which I have used a few times), and .45 ACP should the need ever arise, and my CZ's can pretty much chamber any 9mm profile on the market. I higly suggest getting some Bear Creek 135g and 147g and try and load them out to the max length of the magazines and do the plunk test. I am sure you will have positive results and there will be no need for you to waste your time getting your barrel reamed. The 135g and 147g bullets also require less powder for roughly the same price as the 124g bullets.

Its an Xtreme 124gr rn. The crimp is perfect. I may be over charging the using 4.5gr on powder. I just ordered a case of bayou bullets 9mm 124 gr RN, i hope to have better luck with those. How are you verifying that your crimp is perfect? 4.5g is probably exceeding the book pressures for that load. What OAL are you using? Are you chronographing these loads and looking at the primers afterwards?

I am looking for some used Elite Match or Limited Conversion kits.
