What affect does humidity have while reloading.
mjmagee67 replied to Red Ryder's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
So my question would be.....If your powder absorbed water out of the air would it increase or decrease velocity? I submit to the peanut gallery that if your powder absorbed a grain or 2 of water it might increase velocity. When you have a liquid and convert it to a gas you get a huge increase in volume. So "damp" powder may have an increased gas volume over the dry powder for similar weights of powder. Just a thought..... -
I know some people get all OCD about this stuff. For long distance rifle I wouldn't use them, but for a pistol I use them. I've seen the offset primer hole from time to time on pistol rounds I just reload and shoot them. You can tell during depriming, the press hangs up a little sometimes.

You could always use a trigger pull gauge to tell them apart. Not too hard to install try it, then install the other.

If you want your PCC muzzle brake to work you need to shoot a slower powder that produces a high volume of gas. Something like Pistol Power, Longshot, AutoComp, or any other 9mm Major type powder.

Cleaning kit???? A rag and some Hoppies followed by some 5W-20 Mobil One. Who cleans their barrel? Oh yea I shoot Coated Bullets.

How to shoot PCC while on a CA visit?
mjmagee67 replied to SergioSF's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
Just bring a Production Gun. 10 Round mags and all. -
^^^^^THIS^^^^^^ It's basically my load for my G 19/17/34 and M&P 9Pro. Works well in my Sig, just doesn't make Minor. Power Pistol @ 5.4gr OAL 1.125 is a good snappy Minor load. Practice load.

Leatherhead out of Nampa ID. Just good, solid, accurate, and reasonably priced bullets. Second choice would be the original Bayou Bullets.

How to make a Tanfoglio run with hammer spring X Y or Z
mjmagee67 replied to MemphisMechanic's topic in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
Get a Dillon 1050 adjustable primer seating depth....I love mine. Bury them, mine have a small dimple from the seating punch. -
Montana Gold 124gr HPs at 1.125ish.....+/-.005. Mixed brass you know.

How much OAL variance are you guys seeing in 9mm?
mjmagee67 replied to Phlier's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
Mixed brass with coated bullets I'd say 95% fall within +/-.003 and the other 5% within +/-.005. Which is just fine for a USPSA pistol round. As a matter on note....with mixed brass I regularly get SD's in the mid teens. With single manufacture brass I regularly see SD's in the high single digits. All SD's are over 10 to 20 shot strings and my best SD I've seen was 3.8 over 14 shots, that load was FC brass, 125gr Leatherhead Bullets, Fed SPP, 4.1gr VV N320 at 1.115 OAL with a 131PF. -
As far as bullet weight I go with 124/125gr because I like them in Production. I do have 2000+ Delta Precision 115's so I'll work on a load later. As far as primers, I have been using CCI because I shoot a DA/SA Tanfo and save my "softer" primers for that. I have about 15,000 CCI that I've had for several years. So now I use them in my Sig MPX, just don't need soft primers in that gun.

Troy making rules up again? I personally think they would just get you DQ'ed, AD or running with the booger hook on the bang button.
-
I guess I'm shooting Major Production, at the Golden Bullet my ammo chrono'ed out to 138 PF!!! I guess I need to re-do my load.

.45acp plated/Bullseye lightest load to make major..?
mjmagee67 replied to JeremiahD's topic in 44/45 Caliber
I have used 4.6 to 4.7gr Bullseye pushing Extreme HP, CCI or Win LPP, at 1.245ish gives me Major PF. -
I called and talked with the Tech guys at Timney Triggers and they said any of their 2-stage triggers are good to go in the MPX. The single stage not so much. The AR Elite is goot to go too but good luck finding one. I've had great luck and like the feel of the Timney single stage in several of my AR's

Next best small pistol primer? My Federal 100's dried up...
mjmagee67 replied to lksyotas's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
Winchester is my #2 primer after Federal. I run Winchester in practice and save Federal for matches. FWIW I've never had an issue with Remington 1 1/2. I use them in my unmodified revolver rounds for 38 Special. I can't recall one not going BOOM. -
I've been loading N320 in 9mm Minor for a few years. I've shot 124/125, 135, & 147 gr bullets. I can't recall a SD over 20 in a 10 shot string. I have a 1050, stock powder dropper, and a Redding Seating Die. When I went to Area 1 I loaded up 950 rounds and chrono'ed 2 strings of 10. Looked at my notes and the SDs were 4 and 6. The Area 1 chrono was 911, 911, 913. It doesn't get more consistent that that! The Area 1 was all FC brass. I'm wondering if you variation in something other that the powder?

If money is no issue, what is your favorite 40 major powder? Why?
mjmagee67 replied to Bullets's topic in 10mm/40 Caliber
Being as powder is a small percentage of the cost of a round cost is no object. I use N320 and it adds less than a penny a round over Bullseye. Bullseye did really work well but N320 is cleaner burning. -
I've loaded SPP 45 ACP brass and it was something like 5 fps slower than the same load with LPP. My load is 4.5gr Bullseye under coated 230gr @ 1.260 AOL. I've not noticed a difference, but I stopped loading SPP brass because I picked up a used 550B set up for LPP 45 ACP so I don't like changing the priming system, I use to load 45 ACP a Lee Turret.

I have two S2's and got two pins for the trigger. One fit fine the other would not go in.
-
Having tuned both CZ's and Tanfog's I agree. The CZ is easier.

FM just keeps working to find new ways to screw up the reloader. Run far run fast from anything FM.

Is that legal to remove right side safety?
mjmagee67 replied to highhope's topic in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
Inconsistency is a form of consistency.
