Jim,Light bullets and SLOW powder is the way to go in Open so save the 147s for Production. You're in the realm of Major with 7.9, what's your OAL? I've seen wild fluctuations from 1.145" to 1.160"

9x25 Dillon is a 10mm round necked down to 9mm that's the best of both worlds, light bullet, TONS of gas.

4.1gr 700X under a 124gr xtreme at 1.145 gave me 128pf in a 4.5" CZ barrel.

That's too bad, she was my only hope...

That's crazy, at 10 yards I was able shoot a 1" group of 15-20 shots offhand...

Sharon seems to be reasonably knowledgeable and always returns my emails promptly: sharon@eaacorp.com

I tried a new comp on my Open gun today and the zero moved by like 3" at 10 yards!?! I don't think the bullet is hitting the baffles as it's still very accurate, just different. I put the old comp back on to confirm it was right on and it was... Anyone else experience this?

Does IPSC have a rule like this? I know there are shooters in countries which limit mag capacity.

Titegroup is TOO FAST for 9Major, you'll likely blow up your gun before you hit 160PF. I've never used #5 before, but the Hodgdon burn rate chart puts it between HS-6 (a very popular 9Major powder) and True Blue (a not as popular 9Major powder, but some like it) so it should be safe even if it's not optimal. The FMJs have an exposed lead base so you will get more smoke and might get some lead buildup in the comp. I would use the FMJS and Titegroup for Production loads (or trade them to a Production shooter if you don't shoot it) and the 121s and #5 for 9Major. Like Bill said, buy a chrono or make friends with someone who has a chrono. The AA load data says a 124gr bullet at 1.145" over 6.5gr of #5 makes 140 PF so I would start there and work up .2gr at a time using a crono. If you notice the primers start to flow I would lengthen the OAL a little.

18 degrees?

So tonight I got out the chop saw and got after my TS! Here it is: I got my hands on a 9mm three port comp, so I have high hopes for this one:

I did it Eli!

I'll bet you could find someone to trade you a 9mm upper for your .40 upper...

Very interesting... I'll have to try some shorties

I have a friend who shoots a CZ .40 with a 9mm barrel and has not had any issues, so I suspect you'd be fine.

Throw it away now or in three months once you've polished the feed ramp, the breech face and extractor and still get random failures to feed...

If you use fine enough abrasion you won't change any angles.

But I think those have the nice sight on the rear, but with the crappy milled sight on the front.... I have had four super sight conversion kits from EAA and only one milled front sight: the standard length slide; the three long slides all had the new style front sight.

http://store.israeli-weapons.com I have a serpa holster with a drop/offset adapted and the button removed; I've also used the BladeTec for a Stock II for my non railed Jericho. The BladeTec for an SP01 should work for the railed version.

Which caliber are you looking for?

I have the parts for a Shadow SSE

Rowdy, I touched on the lifter mods at the end of my CZ tuning thread. You can take material off the 'foot' for the lifter, the area on the trigger bar which picks up the lifter and the firing pin so it clears the block sooner. I may be able to help

I don't have the big one?!? It does seem mine is in between the two currently shown on the website: Did CZC make three sizes of mag well at one point??? ETA: Get the big one, if you don't like it I'll trade you

The big one! I actually like Henning's Tanfoglio magwell better although I have pretty big hands.

What do you have to work with? I have used HS6 and SP2 with great results and I recently got a pound of Longshot to play with although I have yet to send any over the chrono yet. You will shortcut much trial and error (and $$$) if you try to stick with some favorites: -SP2 (widely hailed as THE powder for 9 Major although no longer imported to the US...) -HS6 -AutoComp -Silhouette -3N38 -Longshot (although I think it's right on the edge for 9 Major) -True Blue???
