Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. It seems that you have enough mass with the bolt that weighs 15.5 ounces and the buffer at 6.1 ounces. Have you done the plunk test? Your bullets might be jammed into the riflings. Along with too much powder will give horrible recoil. Especially if you use something like Power Pistol. What is your load and oal?
  2. Thank you for the great ideas. I think that I will try the spacer and see how it works. Maybe it will save me some money and work great. Thanks... Ken
  3. I bought a Karri's 10mm upper and complete lower. It has a 6 position stock with a 8oz.buffer and a carbine 308 spring, with a 16" barrel. I want to change to an A2 stock. What weight rifle buffer and rifle spring will I need. I'm thinking about a Blitz Hydro buffer but it is only 6oz. I will be shooting 125gr. to 200 gr. Factory and reloads. Also I will use it for deer hunting. So it will be used for light and heavy loads. Can I use the carbine 8oz.buffer with a 308 rifle spring or will I have to use a rifle buffer? This blowback rifle stuff is very confusing. Thanks...
  4. Superhawk, what did Tim do to fix it? Thanks...Ken
  5. My friend and I have had squibbs also. We were buying primers from a guy pretty cheap. The primers were not bright and shiny but looked dark and dull looking. We have loaded thousands of rounds with them before shooting a lot of them. We started shooting them and we had as much as 3 out of a hundred squibb rounds. The bullet was stuck in the barrel with powder in the mag. We only shoot them at the range slowly so we will catch the squibbs before we shoot again and blow up the barrel. Before we realized what was the cause I gave another friend a bag of bullets that I had loaded when he bought a new Glock 17 so he could try it out. He called me in a few days and told me his gun wouldn't load any bullets. He said that the bullets were too long and wouldn't go in the barrel. I told him not to shoot anymore and let me check out his gun. He brought it over and there was a bullet lodged in the barrel, just enough that it wouldn't load another. Primers are my problem with squibbs not not having low or no powder. I have had them in 45 acp and 9mm. My friend has had squibbs in 9mm and a 10mm. We have thousands of slow fire rounds that we have to shoot up. We wouldn't dare rapid fire these rounds. Also we didn't use case lube on them. I don't know if these were Oboma primers or not. Maybe???
  6. The powders that I'm working with now is: Bullseye, Unique, 231, Clays and 700X. I have heard that Power Pistol is good for 230 gr. and +P loads. Thanks for the replies...TheTodd
  7. Thanks guys. I'm going to a gun show tomorrow and see what kind of powder they have. I will let you know the results. Thanks...TheTodd
  8. Yes I do have a few reloading manuals but they are not correct. Like the Modern Reloading By Richard Lee that states 5.0 grains of Bullseye with a 230 FMJ will deliver 905 fps with 16200 psi of pressure. Here is what my 5.0 loads delivered. Military cases: 803.4, 813.1, 816.2, 807.2, 821.1. Commercial cases: 835.1, 843.5, 814.5, 804.5, 824.1. I have been reloading for years and thought that I was doing great until I bought a choronograph. Now I realize that reloading is just like feeling around in the dark.
  9. I have been searching this forum to find a 230 gr. Military Hardball Load. One that is consistant at 850 fps with commercial and military brass. I have tried 5.4 grains of bullseye that reaches 850 fps in commercial brass but will not make it in military brass. When I say reaches 850 fps, some will be 850, 840 and a few 830's. I weigh every round on my dillon scales so that they all weigh the same. I know that it can be done because the military rounds that I chronographed were in the 850's and high 840's. None were in the 830's like mine were. I would like a powder that is consistent and will not vary with the temperature like Bullseye. Maybe the military hardball rounds are made with blended powders that we can't get. Do any of you reloaders have a hardball load that is consistant with any cases and temp? Thanks... TheTodd
