Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. I don't have a pic to post and my experience is with the scorpion but I can share my what has worked for me. I bought a scorpion and threw a c-more rail 8 moa on top. I Shot ok (I'm just a C class shooter). It just didn't feel natural with the postion of the sight on top of the gun. I loved the dot it produced, but it just didn't feel right(for me). So I put the c-more rail on my 10/22 and made B class the next match. Bought a c-more RTS for the Scorpion and I love it! Haven't made B class yet, but after 1 match I'm much closer.
  2. I set up two S2's. And I'm happy with that decision and investment. I realize that opinion doesn't work for everyone, but if you are willing to burn the ammo month in and month out, you can probably do it. It also makes it really nice for steel challenge matches when you want to shot two center fired guns the same day.
  3. Thanks JakeG have you tried those flat nose in a 1911?
  4. HesedTech and Matt1911 Thanks for the reply, appreciate the info
  5. We tried that bullet profile and the longest I reliably could load in a CZ S2 stock barrel was 1.10. I think what people are telling you is actually shooting them doesn’t matter. What matters is to have a reliable OAL which runs in your gun. This means do some tests by starting long with the correct crimp (empty cartridge with no primer) and keep shorting it till it always plunks and fits & feeds in magazine. When I find that OAL I personally make 10 dummy rounds to verify they cycle as I rack the slide. I personally start at 1.15 and work my way shorter, which will almost be guaranteed not to function/plunk in you CZ. Next step shoot them. Since you can’t test them in live fire don’t make a huge amount until they are Chrono’d and verified as working the way you want them to. Hope this helps. oh one thing more, blues are good (I like them in 40 180 gr and 45 230) but there are better, longer OAL, profiles for 147 In 9mm. Edited Tuesday at 07:36 PM by HesedTech Quote
  6. I keep asking because this is a forum. I thought the chances of another shooter with a Shadow2 that also has chosen to give the blue bullets 147 RN a try might have already figured this out. I keep asking because the replies are data points that help make a educated discision on a starting point. I keep asking because a pluck test on a OAL that is short does ensure reliable function in live fire, and since I have no access to a place to shoot and test different lengths because of the covid problem, I thought asking the question would be helpful. I keep asking because I value the knowledge of the users of this forum. They have provide me with sound advise in the past and I respect and appreciate their replies. Including your. Thats way I asked again.
  7. Sorry if that came off wrong, I do appreciate any feedback
  8. Titegroup 3.2 with 147 extreme hp is what I have been loading for production and carry optics with my cz's. I'm not worried about power factor, I need to figure out a oal with blue bullets the same weight but different profile. Just need a starting point. Please don't comment about pluck testing. I get it!
  9. Thanks anonymous and chopaaka i have 4 cz barrel that my standard OAL at 1.10 with Extreme 147 HP run 100% I bought the 147 blue bullets round nose because my STI Trojan just wasn't liking the the hollow points. Maybe it was wishful thinking, but I hoped someone else had gotten to something that worked with both guns.
  10. Guys looking for OAL for 147 RN (.355) Blue Bullets to be fired through a Shadow2. Blue Bullet SKU 09-147RN-box. I'm looking for the longest length that people have had success with. My gun club is closed because of covid19 so I can't test a small batch on my own. Thanks for the help
  11. Has anyone shipped a Dan Wesson Single Stack Classic into the state of Maryland?
  12. Thanks again for the feedback. Heres were I'm at. 15 lbs main spring (everything goes bang) 10 lbs with a new Dawson Precision capture guide rod. This set up has helped, but I still have reliable issues with feeding and ejecting. I am going to look at the extractor next. Has anyone found their extractor to be the problem with reliable issues with the Trojan? Thanks in advance for additional feedback. This has been fascinating for me because the gun ran great for a couple years.
  13. Thanks for the feed back on what works for your Trojan's
