Im trying to shoot 155gr semi wad cutters but getting alot of leading. Anyone else here shooting 155gr?

Im using 5.3grs of TiteGroup 155gr swc in 45s and works great so far

i use alot of 7625 and moly coated 40cal180gr bullets 4.6grs for regular matches 5.2 to make 172 pf i really like it.

Good Grief!!

This game is about having fun right? Different people have different ideas of what is fun and definitely see different results from different strategies. To me it seems more frustrating to burn down the stage then go looking for your hits. Reading this thread got me wondering what percentage of the points I really am shooting so I looked back at Saturday's scores: six stages - 96%, 93%, 99%, 93%, 98% and 95%. The nice thing is that I keep seeing improvement, I'm getting faster, better at calling shots, better at shooting on the move. Last month it came together nicely and got my first couple stage wins; one with 95% of the points and a 8.15 HF! Nice Shooting!!!!

The PF formula is not very scientific, I think 'feel' correlates more with kinetic energy and slide velocity. I've shoot the same platform (CZ/Tanfoglio) in many calibers (9, 40, and 45) at the same PF and I can tell you the caliber makes a BIG difference because the lighter bullets going faster have much more kinetic energy.For example, three loads at 165 PF: 9mm 115gr @ 1435fps - 526 ft lbs of energy .40 180gr @ 917fps - 336 ft lbs of energy .45 225gr @ 734fps - 269 ft lbs of energy When that buzzer goes off most anyone will never know the difference what grain bullet they r shooting

I personally like the black bullets i shoot the 180gr 40cal really like them less smoke when u shoot..

I guess its a personal prefferance but everyone i shoot with 40cal shoots 180gr and ive done testing with lighter gr bullets and its just easier to make power factor with the 180 and i use IMR 7625 and only takes 5.0 grains to do it. But thats just my 2 cents worth

And someone please explain why i can shoot 500rds at home with absolutely no issues but low and behold get to a match and something will happen without a dought. LOL

Well im not doing 3 gun but for some unknown haha reason when i get to the classifier stage something always seems to go wrong..

I dont know about the riffle dies but i use RCBS on all my pistol calibers and havent had any troubles whatsoever

Talking about the planning on the walk through when that little buzzer goes off everything i plan just seems to dissapear when all the addrenalin starts pumping but i absolutely love it WHAT A RUSH!!!! Im also still a rookie...

Steel and USPSA is by far the most FUN i think. Talk about something that will get the adrinalin pumping haha!!! Nothing like the feeling when that buzzer goes off u forget anything and everything u planned before...

Really Enjoy This Site!!!! Very Helpfull...

Any ideas guys on Fiber Optic sights for this gun??? I hate the factory sights!!

Sir i have been trying to use 4756 with a 115gr 9mm and even with 5.0gs of powder have alot that will not fully eject and its not only the m&p gun a 1911 also. Have u changed your recoil spring to a lighter one??
