Two guns blown up in five weeks...suggestions?
tiger49931 replied to PapaBonez's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
Remember also dillon has a lifetime warranty on the loader so if you suspect it send it to them . I had a mishap where i thought i didnt powder a round and cap a bullet on it. the next day i went back thru all 100 rounds pulling then and resetting the charge in them one at a time. I admit i get a little ocd when reloading. I pull every 5th round sometimes when im working a ladder for new powder and bullet combo i will do each round individually. when ever you return to the reloader make sure you know what powder was in it. Did anyone make any changes. if i leave my reloader set up with powder in it i place a sticky not on the powder holder with what grain its throwing and what powder is in it. i also leave the powder container right next to the press. If i am switching heads i empty all powder from the unit. so they dont get mixed up .. Glad to hear no one was hurt its a scary thing... -
Load Data for 9mm minor to use in STI Steel Match ?
tiger49931 replied to cecil's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
i just got mine also so i will be following this thread to see what people say .. -
with this one i would suggest if you do the apex i would do all the apex. like the RAM, trigger competition only ( its light and amazing tho i did keep the regular trigger) and all upgradable parts. My last practice session i got a few draw times on target ( +1 ) but under 1 sec registering a .94 and a .99. so practice makes perfect. I was sierra jacketed bullets with TG but have since switched to bear creek bullets so i am still working on getting the powder adn load ready but will post when i have it. But i did open a facebook page called Jeffstroudshootist if anyone wants to hook up on facebook and talk or share match data places and events...

Would like to try to use one powder and a guy told me clays but everyone says clays wont work for 9mm. so my question is what powder do you use with moly bullets and 9mm minor 125 147 grain 40 180 major and 45 230 major ... Not trying to start war of the worlds just trying to fig this out. tho i will be using clays for a while for 45 since i have 8 lbs left.. So powder choices are vv320 good but i can buy 4lbs of wst for 1 lb of this around here.. 231 WST Solo 1000 clays seeing if your paying attention ???

Loading for STI steelmaster , M&P pro 5" , also looking at using the moly bullets for my 40 and .45 . but was looking to see if anyone had any good bad reviews. i use titegroup for all 3 loads now so was hoping to stick with that powder. -

Well first local match done and results are in i took first place in ssP catagory edged out closest competitor by just over a second. Also learned that i must get back to the range after doing a load to work the kinks out of all my competition handguns. (lesson learned) Brought out my M&P for the match with the new PF loads forgot to put a lesser tension spring in the pistol but after a shackey start and a re-shoot i was able to get the lighter spring in and finish the match. With no more hickups. all and all a great day of fun with a gun.

First part of my practice with my m&p went great. times not the fastest but all Center . faster but not as acurate.Need more dry fire. Yes i know i need to lose weight also. going to get more video so i can really watch my draw and my presentation. More and practice. Hard to do with the temp outside at -10 degrees. I love the idea of being able to log on here whats up. Local IDPA match list Jan 20, 2013, Feb 17, 2013 Mar 17, 2013 and Apr 14, 2013 all indoor matches. Goals: gym 3 days a week Pool 2 times a week shooting at least 2 live fire sessions and 3 dryfire a week.

Most popular bullet weight for IDPA CDP division? 185gr 230gr
tiger49931 replied to tiger49931's topic in 44/45 Caliber
the gun for this will be my S&W 625 with a full clark custom compitition job on it and my new STI 1911 single stack. i realize they may not like the same loads for accuraccy reasons. but i hope i can find a speed load for 230 grain that each will like even if i have to load one hotter thatn the other.. I just didnt want to have to do 185 for the 1911 and 230's for the revolver -

I live where shooting comps are not that common and the ones that are some steel targets will flop with a 9 but a 40 does help knock them over faster and easier.
