  1. Or even the Lyman Shotgun Loading Manual. Cliff notes version: pellet deformity is the primary cause of poor patterning or flyers. Pellet deformity increases with higher velocity, higher weight shot charges, softer shot, or tighter constriction. So higher quality chokes that do not constrict so abruptly, shot buffers, nickel plated shot, standard velocities etc tend to increase pattern density and uniformity.
  2. In the older generation Glock world, the large frame mag releases (20, 21) are the extended mag releases in the small frames. This part is used in the G34 for example. There are other parts but this is so cheap.

  3. Is there a refrigerator in the apartment? If so it weighs as much 300 pounds. I would think putting a 500 pound piano in the apartment or house would be fine too. I bought a small safe, 500 pound range, for a rental house and kept my 1200 plus pounder in storage. I think you will be fine. If you want to overkill it you could put the plywood down.
  4. Try removing the ejector wire and then reseating it fully. Happened to me once and I thought something was seriously wrong.
  5. I usually loose about 40-45 FPS per inch of barrel but that is solely limited to 16" and 18" comparisons.
  6. Usually the higher pressure loads (9 major) are loaded with slower burning pistol propellant. Loading to higher pressures with something fast, like titegroup, sounds like a more likely scenario for blowing something up. No disrespect intended, I suspect you are referring to propellants you have on hand. Soft shooting loads are fast powder and heavy bullet for the games (excluding open pistols). Magnum loads, for lack of a better term, use slow burning propellant in my estimation. Perhaps this is not what you are looking for? I do know in my manuals that show +P pressure loads, in something like 9mm and 38, Power Pistol is a frequent choice.
  7. I have a Vortex Viper 20-60 and it is nice. The price point is about $750 . It outperforms most spotting scope of people on the line at my gun club by a good margin. Most are economy POS optics. Having looked through multiple spotting scopes that cost 4 figures I would go that route if I do it again. I can resolve .224 caliber holes in paper at 200 no problem. The economy scopes cannot do that, maybe with a shoot-n-c target.
  8. I bent more than 10 of the Lee decapping pins. I wanted to try the hardened pins but bought a Dillon universal decapper instead and no more broken pins.
  9. For me it depends when you shoot a target. If you are the first of the day and the targets are all painted, a 4x would probably be fine. But if it is near twilight, the targets are shot to hell and maybe in the shadows, I found 6x to be advantages. Owning a Razor its kind of hard to go backwards quality wise. I have considered the 1-6 PST for a backup rifle.
  10. I would take a close look at your drops on Strelok for whatever you buy. I think the JM reticle works well with a really fast load like MK 262 Mod 1. I have the MOA reticle on my Razor and it works well with a traditional match load like a 75/77 at 2550-2650. In the southeast we routinely shoot out beyond 300, out to 4-500 with regularity, and I would never consider 4x, not when there are such awesome 1-6x optics out there, unless weight was a MAJOR consideration (like for a run and gun).
  11. TTI trigger in ours is very nice!
  12. TTI trigger kit, Jager Rod with 13# IMSI spring, Dawson sights. It's been very accurate AND runs like a Glock!
  13. We have been shooting Glocks in competition for about 19 years now. I do not have a dot gun personally. We run mostly 34's and I do believe they are more accurate than the 17's (I started with those). Whatever your looking at the new Gen 5's are more accurate than the other generations in my limited experience. It is my understanding that they are engineered to hold a 3" group at 50 yards from a machine rest. If it were me I would go with a Gen 5 34. I shoot mostly 3 gun and mostly see 34's in use if folks are running a Glock. We just happened to buy a Gen 5 34 and its really our most accurate Glock.
  14. If those are your parameters just shoot any load. Maybe you will like the way a minimum load feels or maybe the comp will work better with more gas from a hotter load.
  15. I would mount an optic, maybe even off another rifle on the rifle temporarily for accuracy testing at 100 and then 200. When you find your most accurate load then you can run your dot again knowing definatively what is the accurate load. Also, 55 grain FMJ's tend to have underwhelming accuracy for the majority of people. I would suggest the 68/69 or 75/77 grain bullets. They are markedly more accurate, as a rule. I have had outstanding luck with 8208.
  16. Not too bad I guess. If it was going to be super long I was going to suggest contacting Aaron Hayes from Hayes Custom guns. He is a team Benelli shooter with awesome work on M2's but I do not know his lead time. The Taran stuff is squared away as well!
  17. Good choice and one you will not regret!
  18. I tried a number of charges with a Precision Delta 147 FMJ and settled on 4.5 because it would still lock my slide back on our Glock 34's. Velocity was about 930 as I recall, accuracy was excellant. I evaluated a bunch of other powders and did not care for them including TG, until I tried N320. I'm running N320 now but Power Pistol is probably a little more accurate. My COAL was 1.145.
  19. There are some people competing with them here in the southeast. There was a match where a Breda rep was there and I shot one. It's very close to a Benelli BUT I think recoil\recovery is a little softer\faster on the Benelli because of the Comfortech stock. They are about the same price, I would just go Benelli.
  20. From a thousand miles away I am sitting here wondering if perhaps you need to de-copper the bore of the JP, a thought. It is counterintuitive that the Faxon barrel will outshoot the JP. Some nodes I have found with Hornady 75's and Sierra 77's are with TAC at 23.4 grains, CFE223 25.0 grains, IMR 8208 22.9-23.4 grains and those loads work in multiple rifles with hand lapped match barrels. I use a 650, trim on a Dillon trimmer, expand the neck with a Dillon expander ball, no bullet feeder, Forster Ultra Micrometer Seating die, no crimp and easily make sub moa loads for 3 gun. SD's with 8208 are in the teens, TIR is 003 or less. I have tried substituting magnum primers and found they opened up the groups for me (I wanted them to work for various reasons). I guess the usual checks are indicated, check your scope mount is not loose and the gas block is not hitting the handgaurd, de-copper bore to bare metal yada yada. Change anything on the JP lately? I would think a JP barrel might be going strong at 8k, one of my barrels is getting erratic and not shooting so well at that round count and I am changing it out this week. Keep us posted what you find out. ETA: I had underwhelming accuracy with the 73 grain ELD's.
  21. The soles are a soft compound and wear quickly. I try to reserve mine for match use or trail use (I prefer them to hiking boots now). I get about two years out of them this way and then retire them to regular shoe status and get new Speedcrosses for match use.They are still OK after some wear but if it is the muddy season you want the newer tread.
  22. The Hornady 75 BTHP is my 3 gun match bullet and I have shot 1000's and 1000's of them. That bullet shoots sub moa in all 3 of our match rifles and friends as well. I have tested the Sierra's and they are very good, I really love the TMK. But the Hornady is working for 3 gun. If your not shooting high volume why not shoot a premium bullet. Buy a box of all of them, see what your rifle likes best and run it. The Sierra's have a reputation for being more consistant at longer ranges. I need to test at 600 yards to verify that.
  23. From what your are describing the Hornady 75 gr BTHP (16 cents a bullet) or Nosler 77 BTHP (19 cents a bullet) would fit the bill. It looks like there is no short range bay shooting for you but 600 yard shooting is. One of those bullets over CFE 223 or TAC are accurate for a lot people, or, if you prefer a temp insensitive extruded propellant something on the order of H4895 or Varget or 8208 may be in order. It should be reasonable to expect good accuracy around 2500 FPS out of that 16" barrel. That would be a good start anyway. For me, and I shoot a lot of 223/5.56 those heavy match type bullets are very accurate compared to the bulk FMJ's. The bullet prices I listed were for Powder Valley last time I looked.
  24. I asked the same question and was told that the cost of extruding machines is what drives the cost up. I am not saying I am right, but it does make sense in a way.
