191138sc

Same with my gun. 3 PFS with 2 holes. My comp works best with a PF of 172-178 so 3 FPS was no big deal.

I put a Titanium comp on a Barsto Match Target Barrel. This fitting was insane but worth it.

Also touch base with Gans. He did mine. Beautiful work.

I'm exactly where ZZT is at. Very pleased with my custom built 2011 9MM. Nothing exotic but excellent internals with a Titanium Comp. I would also like to go back to 38sc but the cost of brass caused me to switch to 9MM.

ML123, Great site-thanks

Interested in feedback from CO shooters who loaded VV340 with a 115 gr HP or plated. Looking for good, bad or ugly. Thanks

I also have used Xtreme for a long time with zero issues. They make a good product that is very consistent bullet to bullet. Many have stayed away from Xtreme because the price was nearly comparable to HP's. You need to find out if plated are accurate in your gun. As far as OAL goes, please do the plunk test in your barrel to find the optimal length. You also need to take into OAL consideration if that length will feed from your particular magazines. Hope you have the same success I have had with Xtreme's.

Great advice. Work up load slowly as every gun is different. Buy a Chrono and use it. AA7 is also a great choice of powder. 10.5 gr under 115 gr PD. I do have 2 popple holes. Welcome to the world of reloading.

This was exactly my problem during cold weather. I was using different types of lube and the thing would NOT run. Switched the oil in the colder temps and problem went away.

+1

Hey zzt, X-treme's are generally available. Berry's have been out of stock for some time. I'll also try CorrosionX. Thanks for the tip.

I've shot Xtreme 115 gr 9mm Heavy Plated RN at 1430 fps with no problems in my compensated blaster.

I've had good success with XTreme 115 Heavy Plated RN in 9mm when JHP dried up. Descent price but you pay for shipping.

This was my same experience. Sweet spot for faultless feeding was 1.245.

This happened to me about 6 months ago. Called Dillon and told them what happened. Sent out a replacement that day. Great CS.

I've been exclusively using full processed Blazer for the past year. Very reliable.

Your barrel will tell you. Shoot them all and if possible various weights.

Nope. Never. Over 85K thru my 38SC and abt 10K thru my new 9MM. Only shoot CMJ or JHP.

+1 on his brass. The beauty is all one headstamp of your choice which yields amazingly consistent OAL. Yes, it's a cost over picking up range brass. But worth the cost of not having to sort headstamp and step issues. Also, think of the cost of going to an out of town competition and having a head case separation. That will absolutely ruin your day. I'm talking from experience here.

Dude, welcome to the most exciting division. You will not regret your decision and have lot's of fun along the way. Ton of great advice on this message board so don't be afraid to ask as many questions that may come to mind. Hope to compete with you somewhere down the line.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Sarge, Wish I had ordered PD when you did. My PD order is "Pending" now for 6 weeks.

This has also been my experience. I can not use any type of Winchester primer in my Dillon 550 but will work ok in my 650. I know, weird.

Jim, they have also worked for me. I generally use SRP so I have the flexibility to use any powder that will make major.

Thank you all for some great ideas.
