[38 SC using SR 4756 strange chrono results]

I will go back to the range this afternoon to re-chrono my loads of SR-4756 of 8.6gr and 8.5gr.

It is a sunny day, almost no clouds, what do you suggest?

Induce some shade on the sensors, paint the bullets black with a marker?

The primers looked fine.

All of those are compressed charges

[38 SC using SR 4756 strange chrono results]

Soooo the only powder I could get to run my new open blaster is IMR SR 4756.

I am using MG 124 g out of Shuemann Tribrid II with winchester SR primers and armscor 38 supercomp brass.

The following are the results I got from my brand new Prochrono Digital:

8.2g 1272 fps 158PF

8.4g 1322 fps 164PF

8.6g 1480 fps 183PF

Does it make sense such a spike? All were chonoed on the same session several times using 5 bullets at a time....Powder is all from the same lot. Clear skies and 78 F.

[Where to find powder]

Same thing here, I have 1LB of HS7 left, if I can't get HS6 soon my new open blaster becomes a very expensive paperweight.

[9mm brass]

Where did you find Starline 38 SC?

Thanks I was a contributor to Jeff Mass list in .40, did not know it was still around.

Montana gold JHP either 115s or 124s, I have both.

Guys,

I know HS7 was discontinued but I still have 1LB in my reloading cabinet, only used it for 44 Magnum.

I bought a 38SC pistol in the classifieds, (thanks Noa) Akai Shogun model, which is suppose to run with HS6.

Could someone share a starting load with HS7 in 38supercomp so I can try my new blaster when it arrives?

Thanks,

I guess will have to learn the hard way...just bought a gun.

[Starting in Open buy new or used? and other questions]

Thanks for all the replies, unfortunatelly this seems to be quite more complicated than Limited

So I got a gunsmith that is willing to buid a custom gun for me, in a reasonable time.....and he asks me what do you want? Send me the parts....

So:

I now, I want:

- 9 Major (I leave my brass on the ground anyway)

- An Infinity small grip

- Being able to use infinity mags

- A slide racker

- aftec

- EGW fire controls

- Compensator?

- Hibrid?

Could some one share their knowledge of what else should I ask for a basic gun that will not hold me back down the road (remember just a B shooter not planning in becoming a GM anytime soon),

What slide Caspian or STI or SVI?

What compensator?

Barrel?

Thanks guys,

[Starting in Open buy new or used? and other questions]

Thanks for all the replies, will keep an eye on the classifieds, in the meantime I have asked for some quotes on a STI GM in 9 major with the following mods:

- no recoil master, just simple guide rod

- relieve frame to be able to use new SVI mags

- slide racker

- trigger job 2#

- Cmore 8 MOA click adjustment

Anything else that you think I should add?

[Starting in Open buy new or used? and other questions]

As my eyes start to get older, I need to start thinking about open division.

I have been shooting IPSC and then USPSA since 1997, B classified (mostly due to lack of time to practice / dry fire)

I have decided I am going to shoot a 2011 and in 9mm major.

Should I buy a trubor to get me started or wait for an used gun to come up?

What dot size should I use?

Also, I have a Chip McCormick in 38 super which I shoot in IDPA (Colt top) so I have several mags including a 170 mm big stick and a 140mm. Can these mags be modified to feed 9mm (loaded long) reliably? What modifications are needed?

Thanks for the advice!

[How light for a 2011 trigger in comp?]

1.5 # and 2.1 #

[.38 Super springs]

I use a 9lbs spring on a Government 38 super, with reloads 125gr Precision Delta at a 126PF....very soft shooting.

[Best trigger out of the box? (non single action)]

I appreciate the Kahr suggestion but she does not want a long trigger pull even if it is smooth / light.

[Best trigger out of the box? (non single action)]

Already have a CZ Rami do you how it compares against the CZ P01? Because the CZ Rami tigger is not good.

[Best trigger out of the box? (non single action)]

Looking for a pistol for my wife for her to try and eventually carry. She likes 1911s but does not want to carry one. It should be a compact pistol around the size of a glock 19 (hates the glock trigger). She is looking for a nice trigger, light/short reset.

Any ideas?

[STI VIP holster]

I bought a second hand crossbreed holster for Glock 19/17 and I am happy to report that fits my STI VIP almost perfectly.

[History of the 2011 development]

thanks, that is what I was looking for.

[History of the 2011 development]

I am interested in the 2011 (modular frame) development history.

Can someone point me in the right direction? tried a couple of searches with no luck.

I own a custom 38 super which frame is identical to an STI but it says McCormick...just curious.

Thanks

[Limited gun ideas for 2013]

what about "gas pedals"?

[HOME MADE RECOIL SPRING TESTER]

I built one that measures with a digital scale when the spring is compressed to 1.600. I found a few springs that were obviously mis-packaged.

Could you please explain how you did it, I recently bought a postal scale and I am trying to figure the easiest/cheapest way of doing this.

Thanks,
