Prima Vectan BA 9 1/2 Powder Loads/Feedback/Etc.
chaserracer replied to chaserracer's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
Oops! I meant 1.118 +/- Yes I had 3 rounds that failed to feed and they were loaded between 1.125 - 1.135 so going to drop the charge a bit and load em a bit shorter. -

So i chrono'd after the match with my load of 147g FN BB loaded with 3.7g BA 9.5 and had an average reading of 949.5 FPS netting me an average PF of 139.5 During the match I had a few rounds that got hung up in the chamber loaded at 1.125 +/- So for this next batch I'm going to drop the powder to 3.5g and adjust the OAL to 1.18 +/- and see how she goes. -

Thanks for the reply! I'm going to trust it for the match and also bring a handful loaded up with 3.5/3.6/3.8g BA 9.5 just to see how they chrono as well. -

@haiedras I'm currently traveling back down this rabbit hole and was hoping to get some feedback from you. I just shot a batch of Blue Bullet flat nose 147g bullets loaded with 3.7g of BA 9.5 and it went absolutely amazing accuracy/impulse wise. felt really soft (compared to 125g BB + 4.2g BA 9.5) concerned that it will not pass chrono or knock down heavy poppers. I will have access to chrono after the match but not before...In your opinion does this seem like a safe recipe to make minor PF?? -
Please forgive the ignorance, stupidity, lack of knowledge, etc. on this one...I was wondering if the CZ triggers (certain ones or all) are interchangeable with a Tanfo Stock 2?...i was looking at the profile of the CZ 85 trigger from CGW and really interested if anyone has looked into this. The holes seem similar...no??

Magnetic Mag Retainer In Production...
chaserracer replied to chaserracer's topic in USPSA/IPSC Rules
This is enough right here to confirm that I do not want to have a magnet on my belt in this division regardless of how the rules are read or interpreted by the individual. If the DNROI says no, well then it's a hard NO in my book. Thanks to everyone for their your input! -

@ChuckS Are you in agreement that using the magnet to retain the make ready magazine is illegal as well? -
Magnetic Mag Retainer In Production...
chaserracer replied to chaserracer's topic in USPSA/IPSC Rules
This is exactly what i was told at my local club as well...Just want to get this sorted before shooting a major match and getting a "surprise your shooting open" talk from the MD/RO -
Magnetic Mag Retainer In Production...
chaserracer replied to chaserracer's topic in USPSA/IPSC Rules
This was all i could find in the rule book... 8 Production Division 5.2.7.2 • Each magazine must be contained individually within the magazine pouch. Magazines may not be retained through magnetic means. -
Asking for you patience here and hoping to shed some light on an unclear (at least to me) subject... If i use a Magnet on my belt (not attached to any mag pouches) to retain my "load and make ready" magazine, load the gun with it, eject that mag and swap it out with the magazine my last mag pouch (there are no mags on the magnet now and at any point while shooting the stage) am i still within the rules for Production?...I am being told i would be bumped to open since the COF technically starts at the "load and make ready" command and since i am then pulling a magazine from a magnet i am in violation of that rule. I am more curious than anything - i know i don't gain any competitive advantage here, its mostly just a habit formed through dryfire and practice that id like to know if i need to change to not risk getting bumped out of my division.

Yes, i had nothing but good things come from using 125g coated blue bullets and 4.2g BA 9.5 Always accurate, reliable and chrono was consistent. -

I agree, when you break it down cost wise its not even worth factoring in as a "savings" one vs the other. I can now definitely say after shooting my last few practices and most recent match with TG paired with 147g BlueBullets i miss my old recipe of 125g and Nobel 9.5. Sometimes i just cant seem to get out of my own way when it comes to tinkering and overthinking this stuff. I'm going to switch back to the above combo indefinitely. I talked to my local reloading supplier about having a continual supply of Nobel 9.5 and he doesn't seem to think its going to be a problem any time soon. Lesson learned! -
Match #13 in the books. Not perfect but definitely starting to feel a little more consistently comfortable behind the gun during a match. I need to speed it up to be competitive with the top shooters at the club though. Always a work in progress.

chaserracer replied to chaserracer's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
@B_RAD just out of curiosity, what about the TG do you not like? For me its hard to ignore the savings in using TG vs BA 9.5 at 3.6gr vs 4.2gr for the same exact load. Even though I feel the BA 9.5 has a noticeably softer feel to it when shooting(and much easier to monitor when loading)... I think I want to experiment with some 147g using TG to see if it would feel similar... -

Its seems like everyone who has data or is using the Nobel Sport BA 9 1/2 is running a 147g bullet. Maybe ill make the switch once i run these 125g Blue Bullets out. At least ill have LOTS of data to start with! -

chaserracer replied to chaserracer's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
So i just took a batch to range for some practice and loaded them as 4.3/4.4gr with same OAL and i literally couldnt feel/see the difference...The gun returns the same and seems to fire almost identical groups at 7, 15, and 25 yds as my loads that were 4.0gr. ...I just need to pony up and get a chrono Anyone have experience using them at indoor ranges?...is that even a possibility with how far away they need to be set up to read accurately? -

Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm going to contact the match director and try to reserve some time with the range chrono after the next match. Ill work up some loads varying from 4.0 up to 4.5gr. Just curious, with your CZ were you loading at a similar OAL of 1.125?
