Nice work Barron!

Man you've got all the good stuff!

Jeff, as a general rule of thumb faster powders burn cleaner and produce a softer recoil impulse at the same velocity. You can certainly load 9 minor with HS6 and 124s, but it will likely be more harsh feeling and dirtier than other options. That being said it is a desirable powder for compensated 9mm pistols so you could likely trade it for a better powder for your purposes like Titegroup, Clays, WST, etc.

Duke, I don't think there's any reason to get your hackles up, I think we're both interested in the same thing: some real data. When you said the extractor would blow off in a few shots I asked if you had any real experience with such an occurance and you were silent. I do have some limited experience shooting .40 out of my 10mm without any issues, but I have read that article, and had an experience with .380 in a 9mm which at least gives me pause: I send my slide off for milling work, so I've haven't fired any more .40 through it, but I did do an interesting experiment with a .380 case which made it's way into my 9mm loads: it was a light steel load (3.15gr Clays under a 115) so I figured I'd shoot it and see what happens It chambered fine and I could see the rim was securely behind the extractor so I shot it; it sounded funny as the brass fire formed to the chamber, but when I extracted it I could see what this article warned of: there was a scratch in the rim where it pulled past the extractor with the primer ignition then it was slammed back into the breech face, flattening the primer against the head stamp. Granted, this is obviously less likely to happen with 40/10 because the rim is exactly the same, but I can now see how it could happen. I'm not as interested in silly internet squabbles as I am in sharing real data and making informed choices, do you have any data to share?

Major or minor?

Ain't that the truth, I just can't seem to make time for it. To the OP: there's no one magic bullet because each shooter has their own strengths and weaknesses. This sport presents mental, physical and technical challenges; in switch area to you find yourself most lacking?

Zig racker on the left, 2011 dovetail should fit just fine

You'd think safety glasses would be good enough to keep tiny pieces of metal out of your eyes (I know I did), but alas, I will buying some face shields as soon as I can see good enough to drive.

Email David, he responds quickly and is happy to troubleshoot.

Thanks for posting this Jack! If there's one which bears repeating it's #11: I'd say the majority of popular loads for USPSA are pushing the envelope, even 9 minor loads when you mix heavy bullets and fast powders, so it's important to remember that the shorter the OAL, the higher the pressure and most times that correlates with higher velocity, but not always. Powders can behave strangely when pushed past their limits, so if you get a lower velocity than you expect, you may be at the limits pressure wise with that powder.

If what you want is 9x19 small frame I definetly have it It sounds like you meant to attach pictures to your last comment, if you'd like to email them to me I'll put them up: kneelingatlas@gmail.con If I hear you right you want a compact slide with a standard length barrel? Do you plan to add a comp or maybe a can?

I've never tried the Dillon roller so I didn't vote, but I really like the inline fabricators handle. The offset trades vertical movement for horizontal movement. I set the height of my bench so that the bottom of the stroke is just before my elbow is straight and the forward priming stroke is at low chest level; very comfortable

So is that you shooting?!?

I have a czc one I'd love to trade. I'm not sure which one it is but it seems massive. Mine is silver. I should've mentioned: mine is for the 75 not for the TS.

yes

You should talk! I agree...John is a bad influence Sack up and buy that 2011 Open gun Chris!!!

Regarding the CZ UB magwell: my hands are too big for it, so if anyone wants to trade me for the CZC one let me know.

You're an enabler Mike!

They will. I'd imagine anything over 150pf is going to start getting pretty nasty. I would not push fast powders and heavy bullets that hard (pressures will climb rapidly )

What load did you shoot?

Is that a fifth scope mount hole?!? That's the ticket! Slide that bad boy on back!

GunBroker lists two escrow services which will deal in firearms: Tradiator PaySafe PaySafe has a fancier website, but costs three times as much, has anyone used either?
