  1. i don't use this stuff...but its in stock! maybe if someone in the los angeles area wants to split the hazmat and shipping with me i'll try a jug.
  2. very interesting...thanks for the advice! hope there is more people who can chime in
  3. great i'll order that storm lake for my 2011!
  4. So i use Xtreme plated 147gr bullets and looked up Ramshot's load data. min is 2.6 and max is 3.0gr at 1.160 COAL So i tried all 3 loads and my stock Glock 34 would not cycle reliable with those loads. No signs of high pressure with 3.0gr. Next i loaded up 3.2gr at 1.150 and still doesn't cycle great. primers are barely starting go flat. Then i go up 3.4gr at 1.150 and the gun cycles about 90% with a few hiccups here and there. Primers are show flat signs now. So which leads me to either shorten the OAL or go up 3.6gr at 1.150? I don't have a chrono...but does any else use this powder and plated 147gr loads for a stock G34?
  5. How do you guys like your storm lake barrels?
  6. I usually run 3.0gr of Clays with 147gr plated at 1.135 but seems like with the supply dried up until 2014 i need to load something else. I tried 3.8gr of WST @ 1.155 today and was okay...it was snappier then the clays load. I heard but would like to see if Clay Dot is exactly like Clays. I heard you can load both the same. How about promo?
  7. So im loading 124gr plated with 4.3gr of HP38 at 1.135 with a crimp of .377 I'm using a 5in STI bull barrel and i feel like the accuracy is not as good as my glock 34 barrel. Seems like my OEM glock 34 barrel can get tighter groups. Should i be adjusting my COAL to about 1.16?
  8. So im loading 124gr plated with 4.3gr of HP38 at 1.135 with a crimp of .377 I'm using a 5in STI bull barrel and i feel like the accuracy is not as good as my glock 34 barrel. Seems like my OEM glock 34 barrel can get tighter groups. Anyone else using this load data and had to readjust their load for the 9mm sti bull barrel? im just curious.
  9. set up my lee pro 1000 in 9mm. got everything to work just fine...i must say that it does take a bit more tweaking then my dillon 550b to run right. but for that cost its probably the best bang per buck press out there. loaded 200 rounds in about 20min and that was taking my time.
  10. setting up my lee pro 1000 tonight right next to my tried and true 550. let's see how it goes.
  11. I have a glock 17 and glock 34 and i load on a dillon 550b. I will be using xtreme plated 124gr RN with CCI #500 SPP and Tula SPP. I was going to try 3.4 grains of Clay with an OAL length of 1.13 is that to long? i hear clays for 9mm has a very tight window.
  12. i'm running a stock gun...should i change out the firing pin spring as well when i use the extended firing pin?
  13. Been thinking about getting an extended firing pin to help ignite my tula/wolf primers for my STI 2011 tactical in 9mm. is it possible for the gun to discharge with the extended pin if dropped on the ground? I was looking at getting the dawson precision extended pin also likely to slam fire as well?
  14. Anyone got any load data on these bullets? I'm using WC844 powder and CCI #41 primers with hornady 55gr FMJs.
  15. I'm trying to find a good OAL for a my Glock 17/34's and CZ SP-01. I've been using 1.15 OAL but i find that my CZ' is having FTF issues...i know i should be using a shorter OAL but how short should i go that it will still feed both platforms without issues? I use 124gr X-treme round nose 4.0 grains of HP-38 wolf primers
  16. What should i be looking for in a Chrono? any good places to get one?
  17. I've been trying to get a nice light load receipe. So far this runs great in my Glock 34. But i tried it in my new Gen4 G19 and i was getting alot of stovepipes. Also someone mentioned i was getting weak ejection from my STI 9mm as well. Will upping my powder to 4.0 or 4.1gr help? Am I on the extreme side of maximum powder load?
  18. HI Guys, I finally had a chance to shoot my STI Tactical 5.0 yesterday at a Steel match. Before i was shooting a Glock34 or a CZ75 SP-01 to compare all 3 platforms. Is it me or the bull barrel + the light rail dust cover really make pointing the gun slower then a lighter gun? Have you guys taken out the bull barrels and whent with a bushing barrel instead? I'd like to know everyone's personal preference.
  19. I have both a G17 and G34 and was debating on trying to reload 147gr bullets. Does your glocks like them? or should i avoid them? I'm using wolf primers and HP38 powders currently.
  20. anyone here use a 14.5inch barrel with a 1/7 twist?
  21. I will load and prep my 223 in 2 stages. I own a dillon 550. The first stage - 1.) Decap with universal decapper 2.) Clean and tumble with stainless pins. 3.) Trim with Gracey with upgraded Bob Jones blade. 4.) Ream primer pocket with my dillon 600 if needed. The second stage - On my Dillon 550 1.) Lube with the RCBS lube die on station 1. 2.) Resize and prime on station 2. 3.) Powder drop on station 3. 4.) Bullet seat on station 4. 5.) No crimp and wipe off excess lube? or do i need to tumble again? Please let me know if setup is sound? I have loaded pistol but never rifle and i'm about to start!
  22. I got a G34 used and was wondering which parts i should replace so i can get it to almost to new like specs. Do i just get a new recoil spring assembly and be done with it or is there other parts i should have?
