  1. Thanks for the reply, yes 10rd pistol mags only. I am looking for loads specifically developed for the Stag 3G.
  2. I have a new Stag 3G and am looking for anyone that has experience loading accurate ammunition for this rifle. It will be used for competition shooting, mainly at 100 to 200 yards. I am thinking of using BLC2 for powder but am open to suggestions. I have tried my 55g fmj frontiers over BLC2 and it doesn’t particularly shoot these well. Thanks for your help.
  3. I love my tanfoglio in 9mm. I think a ramped barrel is important if shooting 9mm in the 1911 platform. This gun is a soft shooting machine! I run Dawson mags and 124g campro’s over time group. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. I use Clays for my 45acp 230g match loads and 700X for my 200g LSWC practice loads. I use an aquarium air pump zip tied to the powder measure to vibrate the 700X in the hopper. It seems to work quite well.
  5. LOL, it's funny you should say that. These were Armscorp, they are not steel core and they did shoot like crap. I will load all 1000 up and use them for practice ammo. The 55g projectiles were way more accurate. I was shocked at how bad the 62g were.
  6. Thanks Steve, I'll start around 22.5 and work up some loads dependent upon accuracy while watching for pressure signs.
  7. I am new to reloading rifle and have just started working up loads for 55g and 62g fmj for my Jp upper being used in 3Gun. The only powder I could find up in Ontario was Win748. I am using range brass, mostly used Norinco 223 and CCI small rifle primers. The press is an XL 650 using Lee dies. So far I have settled upon a load of 26g for the 55g projectiles, it seems accurate enough and cycles the gun no problem. There are no pressure signs on the spent brass. I am having a hard time finding a load for the 62g fmj projectiles. Does anyone have any suggestions? I hope to buy some CFE 223 when ever it becomes available but for now I am stuck with Win 748. It meters well but I see it is temperature sensitive. Thanks
  8. I am new to reloading rifle cartridges so I thought I would try this unit for case prep. It works well and is a quality unit. My only concern is acquiring replacement heads for the cutter, deburring and chamfer heads. Being new to this I think I pushed too hard on the deburring and chamfer heads and dulled them.
  9. Here is a 3Gun practice I held at our club before Christmas. It was a simple stage with all 3 firearms being used. This was my quickest run. I'm using a Jp upper on an Armalite lower with a Geiselle 3G trigger, Vortex 1-6 HD scope, Benelli Nova and a G17. http://youtu.be/yMOsgujDoN8?list=UUygTqXekt1R_P3xel7Cs2Jg
  10. I am running a Phase 5 bolt release on my Jp upper and ever since I installed it I have noticed that the bolt does not lock open after the last round is fired consistently. Has anyone else experienced this? The Phase 5 appears to be the only model that will fit the PSC-11. I have checked the gas setting and it is not the issue, no matter how much I open it up the problem persists. My next question is, if I cannot solve this problem what do I do? Is it better to run with the Phase 5 with inconsistent last round locking or run the stock bolt release on the left side? The rifle is used for 3Gun and IPSC rifle matches.
  11. Wow, I can't believe how difficult it is to get pistol powder in the States, I thought it was bad here in Canada!
  12. My first and only press is a Dillon 650. I load mostly 45acp and 9mm but occasionally some 38sp for CAS. I have never loaded rifle but am thinking about it. I love the Dillon, I run a case feeder and am able to load 100rds of 45acp in around 7mins. I find caliber changes to be simple and fairly painless. I broke the plastic indexing arm due to my own stupidity and Dillon sent me a replacement at no charge! Their customer service is top notch. I plan on reloading 223, 308 and 30-06 eventually and I'm not sure if I will use the 650 or go with a single stage press.
  13. Six on my belt. I have only run out of ammunition once, it was my fault.
  14. Ballistol anyone? Synthetic transmission fluid? I hate paying ridiculous mark ups for gun related lubricants.
  15. I use 230g Frontier CMJ's over top of 4.3g of Clays for my match loads. I make PF with 175. The projectiles are seated around 1.124". For practice and plinking I use 200g LSWC from DRG Bullets. I use 4.6g of 700x. These are a little snappier but fun to shoot and reasonably accurate.
  16. Ok, I tried out the Phase 5 Bolt release at a local 3Gun match last week and it functioned flawlessly! What a relief! It was a little tense not being able to practice with the rifle before the match but it functioned as it should. Thanks for all the input. Here is a video of stage 1. http://youtu.be/Pm2JFVub_xQ?list=UUygTqXekt1R_P3xel7Cs2Jg
  17. Well I just received my Phase 5 Bolt release in the mail and installed it on my JP upper. It seems to function properly, I will try it out at a local 3Gun match tomorrow and report back. Thanks for all the replies
  18. I have been running my JP PSC-11 on an Armalite lower in 3Gun for about 2 years now. I am pretty happy with the set up despite the heft of the JP upper. One thing that I do miss is the ability to install an after market bolt release lever such as the Magpul Bad lever. The PSC-11 has extra material around the bolt release area that doesn't allow the Bad lever to be installed. Is there an alternative to the Bad lever that would work? Thanks
  19. Great post. I have a Cz shadow and I have to load some projectiles much shorter than others in order to pass the plunk test.
  20. I use my 3gun cart. Its a 3 wheeled baby stroller converted to a 3gun cart. It holds my ammo, mags, bug spray, water and folding chair. I used it today at a lvl2 match in Waterloo, Ontario.
  21. I started reloading on a 650 and have never looked back. I load 9&45. Dillon's customer service is second to none, even for us Canadians.
  22. So I have a dilemma, I have been in the market for a Colt NM for some time now. Recently I missed an opportunity to purchase one that was manufactured during 1966, the year of my birth. I now am looking at two. One is a Gold Cup Trophy, mint condition, with all the Colt accessories. It appears to be newly manufactured. The other is an older Series 80, once again mint, very low round count but with none of the accessories. My question is which model is more desirable? What would the value be of these two pistols? Thanks
  23. Well I thought I would try using Universal as a powder under some 200g lswc from DRG. Here is the load chronograph data: 6.3g Universal .472" crimp 124 COAL 200g lswc Low 872.3fps High 1026 fps Avg. 959 PF 191 A little hot to say the least. Recoil was very sharp. 6.0g Universal same bullet dimensions Low 757.9fps High 907.6fps Avg. 845.2fps PF 169 This load was definitely not as hot as the first. The recoil was still sharp but not as harsh. 5.8g Universal same bullet dimensions Low 744.4fps High 834.4fps Avg. 791.1 PF 158 This load felt amazing. Very soft shooting. As far as accuracy, this load was the most accurate by far of the three. I think 5.8g of Universal with 200g lswc will by my practice load. I will still use 4.3g of Clays under 230g plated round nose for matches. I feel these make major more consistently and are soft shooting.
