    P320 X5 Thread

    The trigger in that gun university one isnt skeletonised like the osage page. Maybe its not ready for release? Hopefully its better.

    P320 X5 Thread

    I thought you said the weight didn't help any. Does anyone know about sigs? Would they sell legion parts to non legion owners?
  3. I dont think they released yet. They have a different product number. p320 x5 r2 I think.

    P320 X5 Thread

    New p320 x5 legion on the horizon. Finally a tungsten grip option for us IPSC shooters. Hopefully it is available separately. https://www.osagecountyguns.com/blog/news/sig-sauer/sig-p320-x5-legion-coming/
  5. Sounds good, do you have a link to that p320 thread?
  6. I bought one that wouldn't turn off once. I returned it.
  7. Did the cap unscrew? Tighten it right up.

    320 X5 Questions

    I had read on here a few had tried powder with not much success. I still don't know how ssi do it but i assume its shot. Ive got lead shot for a ghetto version when i find some spare time. I figure they grind it down and build it back up in layers to get the weight and additional size. At least if i stuff it up its not a huge loss.
  9. 3 weeks is plenty of time to get familiar with a gun. Enjoy the change. I switch guns all the time, I don't think it's a big deal.
  10. My first loads with 6.7 grains of autocomp make right on 160pf which is major but i need more margin than that so will bump it up to 7.0 i think. Pretty happy with groups at 25 and 50y.
  11. Nope, the setback was with no powder. Its the expanding that is the problem. Its expanding down to where regular bullets go so there is no tension between there and where my bullets end up. Ill try readjusting the mbf expander when i get time. Not sure what to do with the backup die. I'd like to keep it so I can swage but with it adjusted properly i can push bullets in past where i need them by hand.
  12. It was heaps. The bullets were going right back to where you could see either the backup die or the powder dropping die expanding the case. 1.161 to 1.135 ish. Ive loaded my first 200 rounds now. 6.6 and 6.8 grains at 1.16 Hoping to test it out on Sunday but it's mothers day so not sure that will eventuate.
  13. I was using empty cases to test for setback. I can only get autocomp down here. The powder we use for 38 super major is not dense enough to get enough powder in. Living in Australia sucks sometimes. Thanks ZZT, I will try readjusting tomorrow. I use a mark 7 and the dillon powder dropper has bullets tipping all over the joint.
  14. Sorted it. Swapped out the Mr bullet feeder die for the dillon and its better.
  15. 1.17 is an easy fit in my chamber so trying to load to 1.16. Getting some serious bullet setback when I push the round against a bench. Both with the dillon die and the EGW die. Tried removing the backup die on the 1050 as it looked like it might be flaring the case too much. That didnt help. Do you guy use a Mr bullet feeder powder dropper? Do I need to use a factory one so the case isn't flared so far down?

    P320 X5 Thread

    No need to exaggerate. I run winchester primers and haven't broken a slide stop in at least 15k rounds. BIC's are for Tanfo's I think. Other stuff is valid. Trigger is personal I guess. I think the S2's is better. Post me a tungsten grip. SSI wont ship to Australia.

    P320 X5 Thread

    Factory spring or gray guns?
  18. Ok cool, thanks guys. Hopefully i get the gun today and can do some plunk testing.
  19. No, i like my fingers where they are. There is not a whole lot of bullet in the case at 1.16. I should get the gun tomorrow but good to know if i start at 1.134 and use loads found on here it shouldn't be too risky. I will load longer if I can. 29.49mm is 1.16.
  20. Shoot the gun you want in the division it fits. Skills are transferrable. For as long as i can remember ive shot more than 1 division throughout the season. I loathed shooting my shadow 2 after 6 months of trying to stick to 1 platform. I am shooting open minor with a p320x5 at the moment. I have a proper open gun in the safe. Very few of us will make a living from this so you may as well enjoy yourself.
  21. That happens to super comp in my 1050 when I use a regular 38 super shell plate. It tips in the priming station and hits the toolhead as it comes down.
  22. Thanks guys, that's a big help. I realize that Jack but wanted to get an indication of where I had to be to get the case volume the same. Let me know if this math is wrong. My plated bullets are .554, 123 gns. 1.165 less .585 for EG 124's + .554 = 1.134 If I load my bullets to 1.134 then I should have the same case volume as a 124 everglades at 1.165. I'll start at this length, if it plunks (and runs) I am golden. It also fits into my x5 which will be nice. It's for a 2011. I've used these bullets in my 38 super gun with good success. 9 major is rare here in Australia but I am sick of picking up brass. I'm pretty sure once i sell all my 38 super brass the new gun will be paid for.
