  1. That's because wsf is a fast powder. It's not generating enough gas to work the comp. It's the opposite of loading soft for non comped guns. No comp, heavy bullet, fast powder. Clays, wsf n so on. With the comp you need a light bullet and sloooow powder. I loaded 10++ Vv N105 under a 115g bullet for supercomp. 8.4g VV 3n38 for 9mm. Both are pretty slow powders and full cases. It's going to be very loud (double plug) and you will have to work up a load that works for your gun.

    Get some slow powder and try it with the lightest bullet you have. Do a load ladder. You will find the more powder the less rise in the barrel. It's reverse logic. The cup pressure is just pressure acting on the bullet not gas pushing on the comp

  2. They make a frangable 115g .40 bullet. I wanted to get some to try for .40 open
    115 under accurate 9 or h110 something really slow. May have to go 3n38 or N105 to get major. May be worth playing with

  3. I've loaded 105 for 9 major in a 2011 to see if I could. I believe I got major I can't recall load or PF.

    I will say if your not planning on competing with it but want gas for the comp load a light bullet and slow powder.
    I know someone here was using lilgun under a 90g for steel. Said it was like a cap gun going off but worked the comp. I don't know if it cycled the slide. If it's a toy drop in an 8lb spring and get some slow powder aa9 n105 or even lilgun n light bullets. Enjoy it. See what works well in the gun.

    If you decide to try open major there is a lot of Glock recipes that work well. Hs- 6 and a 115 is awelcome out of a g17 with a carver comp. So is 800x it's just a PITA to load... (LG flake)

  4. Ive used AA 7 in 9 maj as well as 38 supercomp. I was always told AA #9 was too slow for supercomp and a light bullet. Now that it's available I may try it but I don't think it would work for 9mm

  5. Ok so new to all of this reloading haven't even gotten totally set up yet waiting on my Dillon to get here. Any help would be great got some advice from another place on this site trying to make 9 major using acme red coated 124 i got some cci small pistol primers and I'm trying some hs-6 some tight group and some autocomp any advice where to start thanks to all

    Hs-6 and WAC are great I love hs-6. Depending on ur gun you may be over 8g. Start at book data and do a load latter work up to what makes pf in your gun. Titegroup is great for minor ONLY!

  6. If you are planning on shooting Limited I would buy a tanfoglio limited gun. Either the limited or the extreme Limited would both be wonderful choices. If you're not planning on competing in open buy a gold team wouldn't be very prudent. If you are looking for out of the box and ready to rock get the extreme Limited. If you are looking for a 6 inch gun a hunter would make a wonderful choice once rebarreled in 40 Smith & Wesson. It would need a bit of other work as well. Just my two cents.

  7. Hello all. I am milling a Glock for a dr red dot. I have read the hole pattern is the same for a ff3. I have the CAD for a ff3 already does anyone know if the footprint is the same as well? Thanks!

  8. Use a bit of one shot. I had the exact same issue u mention. Ram sticking on the down stroke after stainless tumbleing. I got some spray lube and it fixed the issue 100%e

    Here it is finished. Got it down to 11.95 oz with the sights on it.

    I really like what you did on that slide! I am planning to have some similar cuts done on my Apeiro slide to act as front cocking serrations and to remove a little weight. How did you determine how low you could go on the slide for the thru cuts? Is that where the slide rails start, or some safety set back from the rails?
    Setback from the rails for safty. I try to stay at least .1 from rails and locking lugs. Just for my comfort.

    Glad u like the look. The serrations are 75 or 77° if I remember correctly.
