November 12, 2014

here's day 2

November 12, 2014

Good looking gun. The full profile comp gives it a retro vibe but it has some very cool modern twists.

I bet she is a soft shooter.

I got a couple guns with full profile comps and like the feel.

the gun shoots really flat ... on the video of Area 2 you can see the gun just cycles back and forth like a sewing machine...

but didnt know about it being a retro look... I just like how it looked and I like full dust cover guns ... thats pretty much the look I was after.

I wished I could covert alot of it to titanium

Man that looks awesome! What type of break is that? It looks heavy but in a good way. How does it shoot?

The comp is a one off custom from Jimmy Vidanes @ 1911 Speed Shop.

its a heavy pig but because of the weight its a soft shooter...

November 1, 2014

will reload and rechrono my 7.6grs on monday ... will repost and post complete information

October 31, 2014

That's some odd data. The power factor dropping after 7.6 is expected with this powder but I've never seen it start to go back up after dropping off like you have. Definitely need to run more than 5 round. That one abnormally high round in the 7.6 batch may be messing with you average.

Very true ... but I chrono the way they would chrono me at any big match ... mis matched brass and only 3 to 5 rounds ... But of course I'm going to doubel verify before heading to Area 2 next weekend and will post my results again ...

October 30, 2014
