3.0gr with BBI 125 gets 920fps out of my G17 with stock barrel

3.0gr @1.135 with a BBI 125 gets me 920fps with a SD OF 5 out of a G17 with stock barrel. Super soft load and cycles great with a 13 lb spring. 2.8gr with a 147 extreme is equally soft. Great for 3gun, takes down steel easily

Making the switch from a 14.5in med contour barrel to a 18in SPR with a 13in Troy VTAC. We'll see how the extra length works out on long range targets

$600/6000 is the going price for Hornady 55g FMJ. Heck even the local has 6k/613.00 before tax

I have the NRA Visa, seems ok so far

Ops cases look good to me

Better than their seqoia series, but it will still leave you wanting. The Vortex spotting scopes are a great deal, but again you get what you pay for - better optics are going to be more expensive.

I've had this happen when loading 9mm on a single stage w/ lee dies. The ring gets shaved off when seating the bullets if the case has been belled too much. I used to have a small collection on the press of the little rings and partial rings after a batch of 2-300 rounds.

I haven't chronoed it yet, but it should be pretty slow. I'm loading it for short range practice rounds, but found out how well it grouped when zeroing my rifle and shot a few groups to confirm. Shoots better than other rounds I have tried in this rifle: 69, 77gr SMK and 75gr Hornady.

24.2 gr of CFE223 at 2.23OAL with hornady 55gr SP is amazingly accurate out of my 1/7 barrel

WST has worked well for me in 9mm, burns clean, soft recoil. I use 4.1grs with MG 124 gr HP at 1.125

I shoot plenty of lead through a factory G17 barrel, but my OCD forces me to clean the barrel after each range trip (250-300 rounds). I could probly go quite a bit more - there isn't much leading except just ahead of the throat. A 15-20 strokes with a brass brush and 2/3 pulls of a boresnake and its good as new.

Solo or WST for lead.

Thanks, I'll start at 4.0gr and work my way up. I'm not looking to meet PF, so I'll look at accuracy and recoil.

I use the bejeezus out of a bronze brush and MPro7 every 2-300 rounds. Barrel still looks like new inside. I haven't foud anything that will remove lead without scrubbing.

2.25 Feeds well from my Pmags and USGI with tan follower

Normal

What do you recommend for WST minor loads for MG 124GR? For a G17 I normally load JHPs to 1.125 OAL. Starting and max loads appreciated.

The best thing I can say about it is that it goes bang.

Any night time hog hunts available?

I haven't seen any difference between the franklin armory that came with the tumbler, hornady one shot, and Nufinish. Idunno I don't see what all the excitement is about. My main problem with the tumbler is all of the dust from the the walnut media. After a couple of thousand rounds it seems to be more dust than media. I've tried adding mineral spirits, dryer sheets, etc with no improvement.

I use and recommend Varget, TAC, or CFE223 for heavier bullets depending on availability. I've heard great things about 8208 XBR from a few service rifle shooter and will give it a try if some becomes available.

N320 or WSF

No issue with Georgia humidity and primers kept in the garage for 3+ years. I would try to dry them out slowly and load up a few to test.
