Ooops ...sent letter last week.

Sent MG a letter with needs and CC info thru USPS. Can't believe they're shipping 115 JHP today.

I'm running 115 gr MG JHP at 1.167OAL over 8.7 gr of True Blue.
Expect to chrono at 1550 FPS extrapolating from 8.1gr /115 ( 1426 actual) and 124 gr data.
Have been shooting this for 2 months now. Comp likes extra gas and load runs cleaner than before.
Will give you some rounds to test if you want.

As I remember my statistics ....
+ or - 1 SD = 67%
+ or - 2 SD = 95%
+ or - 3 SD = 99.5%
So in order to be 99.5% sure you pass the chrono stage you need a median fps of 1056 (1008 + 3 x the SD of 16).
Bump up the charge for the FL Open and try to lower your SD in the future. Although, I agree 16 ain't bad.

Parralax....
Make sure you have the powder hopper on the right way.....with the hopper opening directly over
the charge bar opening. I have the same setup and its always right on.

Had the same trouble with my Grandmaster. Went to Aftec and sideways mount( Cheely or Quinn 2 ). Problem gone.
Clean the Extractor tunnel and Aftec frequently, certainly before every match.

I ordered direct.

Tactical Solutions barrel will produce 3/4 " groups at 25 yds from a Ransom Rest.
Using relatively cheap ammo (CCI) and its a bolt on , no FFL part.
Have test data to prove it.

I know several folks that run the Ultradot Pan AV (~$240) on Rugers for steel. You have a choice of reticles
and the frame that holds the glass is very thin, that allows good visibility on 3 sides.

Oak Hill Enterprises (www.oakhillenterprises.com) is offering subject gun (this AM) for $2,299.00 vs normally advertised price of $3,299 and
MSRP of $3,650.00. I have one already or I would pursue myself.

I have not been able to get the OAL variation below +/-.005" on my Lee Loadmaster. I have a Redding
Competition seating die and have added "C" clamps to the toolhead to prevent verticle movement.
Even when I segregate the ammo produced from each shellplate hole I still get variations of +/- .004".
Although this drives me bats, I calculate a difference of .010" OAL only makes a ~1.3% difference in case volume.
So, forgeddabouit ...

The DA RM block fit my 226 X 5 with a little coaxing from a file.

A picture or 2 would be a real help.

I'm using the MG 124 JHP's over 8.0 gr of True Blue at 1.170 OAL with Fed SPP. Gives me a chrono of 1380-1400 FPS out of my TruBore Grandmaster.
I have tested Sil but found it dirtier. Also found that the JHP's grouped much tighter (2 vs 4" @ 25 yds)than MG's 124 CMJ's.
True Blue is clean and meters very well and I'm sticking with it.

I am having the same concerns myself and am trying to determine if the OAL from each shell plate position is different.
Ray
PS: The word in the last line of previous post should be "canted"
-
I can't see how brass can make a difference ... the bottom of each case sits on the same shell plate and the shoulder of each bullet contacts the same seating die.
The only way to get a variation in OAL is for these surfaces to vary their distance apart (assuming the stroke ends at the same place each time). Say, the shell plate is wavy or moves on its spindle, or the spindle is canter, or the die moves up and down in its toolhead.....right ??

9 Major with 115s?
in 9mm/38 Caliber

Been shooting the MG-115's for about a year in my stock Grandmaster. Find them flatter and slightly
more accurate than the MG-124's I was using(1.5 vs 2.0 inches @ 25 yds). PF=170 with the following load :
8.7 gr True Blue
1.170 OAL
Range brass
Fed SPP
I also believe the increased slide velocity(in recoil) has cured my 1/100 failure to eject problem.
( I am running a 7 lb recoil/15 lb main springs in a 12.6 oz. slide )
