  1. 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.

    I am using two different loads of HS-6 in two different open guns. The with poppel holes I use 125 gr JHP with 8.5 gr of HS-6. The gun with out holes I use my 8.1 gr of HS-6.

       I talked to two different open gun Gurus from two different ares before getting in to open, and they both had the same opinion that HS-6 has an easier  pressure spike  and is less likely to do damage to the guns.  One had over 75,000 rounds with no crack to the  slide and the other had almost 125,000 with no crack to the slide. They both also said the same thing about auto comp, that it has less felt  recoil but has a sharper pressure spike,  and most cracked slides they saw were when using it.

    I'd be interested in your experience running the 8.5 load in the gun without the poppel holes. I'm running that in my STI GM with a Thundercomp 2 - no poppels. Thinking was with the extra holes in the comp I'd need more gas... Thoughts?

  3. Hey all,

    I was looking for more H335 but then Natchez offered no hazmat so I picked up 4 lbs of SW Tactical Rifle. Looks like its in between AA2230 and H335. Goin with 24.5 and there about to find best accuracy with Hornady 55g FMJs. I've done a bunch or searches (here and the stupidnet) for people's experiences. Looks like Match, AR Plus, and Tactical have swapped around a little. It shows .223 max at 24.5  - close to my H335 load of 25 but then shows .556 up to 27 so lots of headroom.

  4. my son has one on his AR and I bought the Aim Surplus $89.00 for my PCC on sale (140 made by rise) - 3.5 lb break and work great. I'm not sophisticated enough to appreciate a 200+ trigger
