    I've used Blue Dot with very good luck but have wanted to try Power Pistol for a while but load data is somewhat sketchy. Wondering what is good starting and definite maximum amounts to use. From what I've found so far it sounds like low 7's is good starting and high 9's are getting dangerous but Alliante's site shows 10 gr. so there's a bit of a difference. I have been using 180 gr. Nosler JHP bullets with good results. If anyone has reliable data it would be greatly appreciated. reloading on Dillon 550 if that matters. Pistol is a Tanfoglio (EAA) Witness Match with longer barrel and compensator, updated Wolff spring. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Mainly I simply thought it would look cool and wanted to keep what level of accuracy I had. To elaborate for other comments, I can get 10 shot strings with 4"-5" groups @ 50 yds. I want to keep that accuracy out to 80+ yds. (extending accuracy). Upon further consideration, longer distance accuracy may be affected more by my eyesight and red dot sight than bullet type. Info like telling me a very large/long projectile just doesn't leave enough room for enough powder to maintain accuracy, is what I was looking for.

    I wanted to see if I can keep or even improve accuracy out to 80 or maybe even 100 yds. If it can be improved even more at 50 yds, I would be interested in that also. Much of what Intel6 said is what I was wondering about and unfortunately worried about (heavier bullets=less powder)

    Does anyone know if they exist, where and how much for 10mm(.40cal), ballistic tip, 200+ grain, jacketed projectiles? I like Nosler and Hornady but open to others. I'm trying to extend accuracy range past 50 yds. and I just think they would look cool. If anyone has tried them I would love to hear how they perform. FYI, this is for my pistol, a match witness with extended barrel and comp.

    Well, I finally got the Guide spring rod refitted to work properly and it looks really nice, now my next job(s) is to figure out colors and I'm going to try some Cerakote.

    targets4fun, did you find mount online?
  7. MarkR929
    do a google search for usm fab-defense universal scope mount, that should get you to somewhere where you can buy it online, they only come in black anodized so if you want silver like mine you'll need to do the oven cleaner in a bucket deal to remove the black then use some silver polish and voila, one nice silver mount. Let me know if you have any other questions or if I can be of further help.
  8. MarkR929
    Have been all along and will continue to do so. I hope I can come up with some good accurate hunting loads.
  9. MarkR929
    Factory for now, plan on getting into reloading after next tax return time, I even cheat and start with .40 sometimes so I don't use up what 10mm I still have.
  10. MarkR929
    comp was loose on first shooting and ran out of time, seemed good what I could make of it, will try again in next day or two depending on weather. thread was 13.5x.75 or at least that's what the smith told me
  11. MarkR929
    Guide spring rod, the one in the pictures earlier in this post.

    Has anyone here used ceracoat and how dow I go about buying it or is it a installer only thing?

    Gunsmith turned my nice Henning style end down to original style end WITHOUT my approval or asking......NOT COOL!!! Not sure why, perhaps because it was a tight fit past the barrel lug. Should not have mattered as I discussed that issue with him when I dropped it off. He offered to make me a new one ( at no charge ) but I need to send him dimensions, which of course I don't have as I made the part custom to fit. I just can't understand how anyone could do that to someone's hard work without asking, perhaps he's just a dumbass like so many I came across on this journey ( not including anyone on this site ). Oh well, here's photos

    would a Dillon RL 550B Reloading Pressbe what you were talking about? and is under $600 for never used in original box be a good price?
  15. MarkR929
    OK, I'll try to answer as much as I can. First, the Dillion 550 sounds like the option I would like to go with, what is approx new price or where would I look for a good used one? I have, I would say an average amount of time to spend (while watching tv, winter, etc.). I don't have a lot of money but it's getting better, I know it will be more than $100 but I can't drop $2k either. Calibers would be, 10mm first and foremost, then .40, 9mm at a later time and if the press allows 7.62 x 39, others perhaps down the road. Any other questions, please ask and I'll do my best to answer them as quickly as I can

    OK, I used to reload 12 gauge shotgun back when I was a kid but now I'm seriously thinking about reloading 10mm (and hopefully others soon) pistol ammo. What do I need? How much will it cost me? What should I stay away from? You get the idea. I'm not into super hot loads, more of accuracy, especially at longer distances (I sight in at 50 yds). Pistol is a Tanfoglio Match Witness that will soon have a compensator and has a halo sight. Thanks for any help you can provide
  17. MarkR929
    I LOVE my 10mm Match!

    EAA is borderline incompetent, they sent me the wrong guide spring rod twice, the third time we both agreed to just refund my money and to say they are s------l--------o---------w is an understatement. I can't understand how they can be that much behind. Hire some temporary help or pay the OT, whatever, just get it done. When I called they told me they were 1500 orders behind, that's ridiculous!!!! Tanfoglio needs to find a better importer.
  19. MarkR929
    What do you think of the FastFire? and would you recommend the 3rd version? I have a halo sight now but the FastFIre looks better and less clumsy and I really like the smaller MOA dot idea.
  20. MarkR929
    As soon as I get it back I'll do both, smith said it would be about 5 weeks, but if he can do it (and do it right) it's worth the wait.
  21. MarkR929
    FINALLY!!!! a gunsmith that gets it and can do the job.
  22. MarkR929
    May have finally found a Gunsmith that is pretty certain he can cut, recrown and thread barrel for compensator and for less than $50. The only downer is that I will need to drive 2 hours one way but I've driven farther for less and this guy seems confident he can do it. After taking it there and if he can do it I'll just have him ship it back to me so I don't have to drive it again.
  23. MarkR929
    I'll try to figure out pm after a few errands, sorry for the delay

    Dugiv, the rod I made was truely a labor of love ( and complete irritation from EAA and others). I only made two and the first was a bit too small diameter (started with a 1/4" bolt, second was a 5/16 and the "Henning"-style end). I could attempt a second one but it takes me 3+ hours of constant work, make an offer and I'll see. Let me know what your smith says, If he can do it I may be ready to ship mine to him to do also. I'll let you know how it works the next time I'm out but the weather in MN sucks the last few days! (3 weeks behind where we should be). kneelingatlas, does it matter that my gun is a large frame? and I still have little/no clue as to how to thread barrel correctly (so compensator turns on to proper location)??? and what kind of price are you talking about? I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I'm really close to attempting it myself.
  25. MarkR929
    Still having trouble finding a gunsmith that can cut and thread the barrel. Took it to one and he said the barrel was "too hard"??? Others are busy or don't answer/return phone calls. I'm amazed any of these guys stay in business.
