[Production Division - Opposable grip from Front Sight]

I'd like to see this data as well. I don't get why you have a problem with posting it for all to see.

How do you know that while shooting that person is using the same amount of grip that you measured in the dynamometer?

Thanks for the advice.

I thought I was doing it wrong all this time, go figure....

[Best .40 dies on a 650? What do you use?]

Stage 1 : Dillon sizer / decaping
Stage 2: EGW undersize die
Stage 6: Redding competition seating die
Stage 7: Lee FCD

[What camera to get for POV match recording?]

I have been looking Into the cameras that come integrated in sun glasses like iVUE camera $139 at Amazon, but not ready to pull the trigger either, they seem to have a true POV.

 

 

 

[Mr Bullet Feeder - Pistol: Seat and Crimp in 1 station or 2?]

I load 38supercomp and eliminated the powder check, as the case is almost full anyway.

[FAL builds?]

Arizona Response built and refinished my Argentine kit. He did an excellent job.

[Brake cleaner to remove Titegroup crud?]

Ok will switch to solvent. Is mineral spirits / thiner the same?

[Brake cleaner to remove Titegroup crud?]

Do you think the fumes from Acetone are worse than solvent?

[CCWs - data question]

When wearing light clothes Keltec P3AT in 380 in my pocket in Desatis holster. Have not found anything more discrete than this for the same PF. With regards to the Zombie Apocalypse I will stick to my open gun and FN-FAL.

[Primer loader]

I've had success with the VIbra Prime after doing most of the fixes in the post Edge40 linked. Feeds CCI and Remington primers without a hiccup. Winchester and S&B primers will occasionally get stuck as they seem to be a bit taller and less rounded. Holding the Vibra Prime at a slight angle helps the primers feed more reliably, too.
 
Over the course of a reloading session, I'll probably save 20-30 minutes using the Vibra Prime rather than using pick-up tubes even after dealing with the occasional jam.

Doing the "vibra dance" did not work for me, I have to much stock of WSR to change primer brand.

[Brake cleaner to remove Titegroup crud?]

Acetone works for me, does not affect polymer but I don't have grip tape on my guns. Cheap at Home Depot. It dries fast and the residue that is left can be brushed off.

[Post your temperatures. Let's see how the BEnos universe is doing]

40 F and raining in Charlotte, no snowmagedon here.

[Which coated bullets for shooting 38SC major open ?]

I had good luck with BBI 125gr although the avg weight is 127 gr. No lead or polymer in the comp at 172 PF. Next , will try the 115gr (118gr avg) and report back. The fact that you need less powder to achieve the same velocity is attractive to me as I have a ton of N105 that I could never use with 115 gr because the case was full before getting to the desired PF.
My match load is MG 121gr behind 10.5gr of 3N38.

[38TJ Open Load Options]

I have tried Blue Bullets with no lead or polymer on the compensator or popple holes. It will save you 30% over MG

[New Comp won't thread on new barrel.]

 

A 1911/2011 cone comp is designed to be used with a bushing barrel and a standard slide w/o the bushing.  A bull barrel comp fits right inside the standard slide w/o the bushing.

 

The other difference between the two setups is that bull barrels usually extend 0.4" past the slide whereas the barrel only has to extend 0.1" past the slide as the threads are inside the cone.  A full sized bull barrel setup generally utilizes a 5" slide and a 5.4" barrel whereas a cone comp setup would likely be a 5" barrel with 0.1" cut off a 5" slide.

Thanks, I think get it.

 

I am relatively new to open (2 years ) and I just have one open gun which I bought in this Forum (Akai Shogun).

[New Comp won't thread on new barrel.]

Excellent video, highly recommended.

Now if someone could explain what a cone compensator is...

[Case seperation]

I agree with the bad case, a double charge would had blown the barrel and probably deform the slide...seen that before, infinity pistol shueman barrel, they can be broken...

[Dillon 1050 swager......]

Take it out, I reload 38 super comp ( no crimped primer pockets) and took it out. I ran the Dillon resizing die in the first station and EGW undersize die instead of the swagger.

 

[Primer loader]

The first one I had worked relatively well after some tweaking. Last one I bought, would get primers WSR hanged up on the tube entry, I used a lot of sandpaper trying to make it work. I gave up, buying an RF-100 soon.

[Low Recoil Loading Data needed for S&W 40]

4.9gr of N320 behind a 180 gr coated bullets produces very little recoil, you can also try Clays at your own risk. OAL 1.900.

[Canik TP9 SFX Competition-Ready (Optics Ready!) Pistol]

Wonder what holster it would fit, very competitive price.

[CCWs - data question]

Sig P938 6+1 and extra 7 rounds magazine.

[Re barrel Colt series 80]

Regarding the Ed Brown ( I like the 5 " threaded that is on sale) was it too loose or required a lot of fitting?

[Any benifit to Jacketed bullet vs coated vs plated?]

I had good experience with BBI bullets in open so far...I used to swear by MG .

Do your own experiment, you will be surprised.
