For 50 bucks a K, just bought another 10k. Best price for primers you can find right now.

Depends on the trim length.
Most here assume this is an AR style platform. If it's a precision bolt gun, OAL can be made to fit jump from lands.
allow me to rephrase, Hornady recommends 2.20 Oal

Some recent 69 loads with Ramshot, Accurate, and Shooters World. Rifle is a 16" Spikes with a Wilson 1-8 Wylde Stainless Fluted Barrel. Most accurate in my gun, in bold.

you may get that if the primer is not sat all the way to the bottom of the pocket.

always 115's

Throwing into the mix a couple off brands STI GrandMaster 9 Major with HS-6 or VV 3N38 with MG 124 JHPs.
Unis Ginex 5.56 SRP primers, over 1000 now with no problems - although I did buy them for my ARs. Servicios y Aventuras, about 500+ now, surprisingly have been 100% in my open gun. Not so much in my Production Glock. Leads me to believe that these are hard NATO-type small primers. Getting them for $50.00/k. Just bought 10,000. I tried my Federal 200 SPMs, although they ran great I did notice a bit of cratering, but I am running an obnoxious HS-6 load. I dont think they will do that with the 3N38 I'm loading now.

+1 for the true bore from brazos

Shooters world major pistol is unobtanium

IMO use a fast powder. Being a lefty I can tell when there not a complete burn… powder in the face. WSF did this, switched to w231 and e3 and now runs perfectly. Never had any problems with accuracy so can’t offer help there. My pcc is the most basic. PSA 16” upper with a spikes lower. 9oz buffer with carbine flat wire spring. Not pricey or fancy but runs 100%, me well that’s another subject.

Answering my own question. 8.8gn has me at 173 PF at 1.168. 9.2gn up at 179 PF. I did the full ladder starting at 8.6 and stopped at 9.2. Using fed 200 spm there was never any pressure signs where my current 8.4 hs6 load of 175pf shows some cratering.

I have basically the same load: Alsa 124gr FMJ RN, 8.6 grs of 3N38 from an old STI matchmaster with a 4,25" barrel but I'm getting barely an average of 163 PF.
Now I'm having a Brazos 5" barrel with TC2 cuts. Any suggestions on how much to use 3N38? Just by looking at the post above, 8.6 grs might be way too much. Just looking for a ballpark start. Maybe 8.2?any update on the Brazos TC2 with 3N38. I just bought some 3N38 - have a STI GrandMaster with the TC2.

If you use hornady 55g fmj and crimp to cannelure they will be at 2.20

i run 25 of H-335 with the Z-Max (V-Max) and it is up there compared to a 55fmj because the bullet length is longer than a fmj therefore more pressure/velocity. Look to 62-69g load data if you want something milder (basically take away a grain or two). Its lights-out accurate for my 1-8 Wylde at 25. If your primer is something like a cci400, they are going to be flat. I've used those and S&B's with no worries.

Anyone running e3 with .45 230 FMJ?
-
Hs6 is less dirty with a spm or rifle primer and hotter load.
-
Had to buy the lefty daa after I put on a cheely e2 grip. Could not use the race master I had with the poly grip. Did anticipate spending another 300 on a holster!

What bullet weight for this charge? I have 2 pounds of e3 I want to try out.
im using 124's everglades fmjs at 1.135, but have used rmrs, etc

on the SW facebook page there is a PDF that says they use a 20" 5.56 chambered test barrel setup. They were doing a test between H-335 and SW AR Plus with a 60g bullte.

try 3.6-3.8 of e3

Lol I just stepped into 16# for $260, a friend really hooked me up, though I use it mostly for shotgun and some 9mm minor

I think saying spending more money gets you more/better quality is misguidance. I've seen off the shelf run trouble free for years and expensive high-end guns go in the shop over and over. Enos is a great resource for feedback, just watch the fanboys reinforcing their purchasing decisions. You can get a decent used open gun - I have a Grandmaster from the custom shop, send it to a quality gunsmith (deep river) for a once over and tune and be perfectly happy. Gun is 100%, me well 75% LOL.

Unis genix 5.56 primers, thought they were sending the regular srp. My 2011 open gun runs them, Glock 34 and 17 with 3lb triggers, barely dent them. Using them for open and my pcc which is piercing my federal spm.

Just under 7 bucks a box, lead is the most expensive, 52$ at silver dollar in tampa

Do you really need 1300 fps 1oz ?
Montana Gold Bullets

been monitoring the site for a while and it looks like all they produce now are 115 JHPs. Are they selling 124's to other suppliers? I have heard a rumor that the company is for sale - any truth to that?
