    Brazos bullets - very happy so far

    Why not run the RMR FMJs? Are their plated that much cheaper?

    Buddy ordered 1000 of the RMR 124gr truncated nose to test. They shot very well in my pistols. I think you can get them as low as 7.5 cents per all-in when bought in bulk. That's non-sale price. Will be my next order once I get through the 6k+ Brazos I correctly have.

    Over the years I've had accuracy issues with plated with a bunch of different crimp settings and RMR Jacketed prices are great .

    Then add their and Everglades specials just about weekly and you save a bunch more.

    Any how I'm slowly standardizing on FMJ.

    Tonight shot the 929 revo and the 125 FMJ shot well out of that .  It's winter here so I don't shoot anything with amazing groups when my hands are cold in 28 degree weather.

    Warmest day in 4 or5 so went out to try a 80 (ie 10 monclips) 

    Looking more and more like I'm leaning on standardizing on 124 FMJ.

    Fortunately the RMR and EG load and shoot the same, so who ever has bullets in stock when I need them or a sale going LOL

    I agree

    Bought aprox 6k from them. Then the price shipping change,  I'm done with them.

    Then with all the bs about sizing and extra steps I don't have to do with the other guys.

    I think it's the softer lead Brazos uses that causes problems  that I don't have with Bayou or blues.

    FWIW

    Ya, I bought some for 10% off on Black Friday because a buddy uses their rifle bullets and liked them, so I gave them a try then about 2 weeks after Black Friday they ran a 5% off sale that was sent out through their email. They seem to have one product every week/every other week they run a 5-10% off sale on. Last week was 124gr FMJ bullets and I think they sold out in about 2 days. Also, some weeks it’s on new brass as well.

    Also, you can get blues a little cheaper if you shoot idpa/USPSA and put their patch on your gear, gets you 10% off. I think when I was pricing them out they were about $0.073/bullet shipped with coupon and the Brazos were about $0.064 shipped.

    I just received my order from Brazos tonight and there was no “order again” coupon like they previously had (5% off)

    They pulled a Wally world marketing ploy. Come in cheap,  drive the competition out , then raise prices to what the normal is. Theory is by then you'll just keep buying from them!

     

    Hytek is hytek, I'm staying with the guys who supported the sport and have kept their prices consistent Bayou, bbi , blues etc.

    FWIW

    Winter load work up 45acp 230 Hytek

    It's the time of year to work loads up right!!! LOL

     

    I'm down to my last 2-3lbs of Clays Australian

    Been using a lot of e3 for 9mm and 40 major loads

     

    A few years ago I believe I remember some of y'all where using Clays recipes as a start for e3

    I've done that with 9mm and 40 but just double checking

     

    Been using 3.8grs Clays with a 230 Bayou, CCI LPP, col1.250ish

     

    So my thought is 3.8grs of e3 with the 230 as a start and then chrono up as needed from there.

     

    Anyone with chrono results on e3 and 230 coated bullets I'd appreciate your input.

     

    Thanks y'all

    What would it take for you to shoot revolver?

    in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

    Posted

    The division is problematic mostly because it takes a lot more effort, i.e. practice, to be good with a revolver.

     

    My un scientific research tells me that the majority of guys who are b,c and d shooters and like revolvers have

    more fun shooting their autos cause they have less misses, no shoots and missed steel with the auto than the revo.

     

    A few years ago I shot revo a bunch, even though there was little competition and made Master.

    Even at the sectional and area level there was only 5-8 people shooting revo.

     

    So understand that you will be the minority and keep encouraging others.

    in short, rule changes aren't going to breathe life into revo.

    Guys like you who want to shoot it and do will!!

    Good fortune and keep the cylinder turning!!!

    Atlas chaos issues

    in Open Pistols

    I'm not an Atlas fan boy so take this for what it's worth.

    Ask them to do the work they said they would, first of all.Since they didn't do it to begin with

    and they should pay shipping both ways again since they didn't do it to begin with.

    Or

    Ask them for your money back and send it to some one else who will actually do the work and check the pistol out.

     

    Usually it is a lock up problem if the gun doesn't shoot the first round in the same group as the rest of them

     

    Always give the vendor an opportunity to make it right.

    They get a lot of good reviews here so hopefully it was just a holiday miss que!  

     

    Reason to choose a 1911 in 40 S&W over 45 ACP for USPSA?

    There is a lot to be said for using your same ammo as your limited rig. Plus not having to sort large and small primer brass. LOL.

    This. Also 40 bullets and brass are cheaper/more available. 

    These two are probably the most viable reasons for it.

    I can split my 40 or 45 about the same on the timer .

     

    My 40's run a little quicker , though that is a perception, based on the timer.

    Simply Stated I think a lot of SS shooters also shoot limited so it's an easy way to  keep your components simplified!

     

    Get the 40 Max, currently they can be had for "cheap" by comparison to what they were going for a year ago. And they're worth the money when compared to outfitting another pistol with the magwell, ignition kit and sights etc.

    Figure SIG is coming out with a new model and clearing out the old style. That just a guess, no inside info!
