Hi Guys Thanks for the input. 8.0grs of 3n37 with Zero 125JHP at 1.170 pf=169 Aaron

Thanks guys Thats given me a starting point, i'll let you know how it goes on the chrono on the weekend Mank thanks

Anyone using 3n37 for Major 9? Thoughts ideas appreciated, using 124gr JHP Thanks in advance

Have you cleaned the mag tube & checked that the follower is not hanging up?

Hi Pete I brought the standard 930 with 18 & 1/2 barrel. Every now and then it will fail to extract, leave the case in the chamber & try and stuff the next round up its backside, which results in a very hard to clear jam. It seems to be solved by using Winchester 7 & 1/2 target loads with the steel rim. Let you know more when I have figured something out Cheers Aaron

Hi All Please find attached the link to the 2013 Australasia IPSC Handgun Championships Level 4.

Thanks guys Much info to work with, I'll let you know how I get one. AT

Thanks All I am reloading strong hand, but I do practice weak hand reloads as well. When your forced to start on the RHS of the range its very easy to break the 180 loading while moving to the left and reloading strong hand. The 8 x 38's just seem more inclined to hang up, on the 45 you (sort of) throw them in the general direction of the cylinder and your good to go. What is the best projectile style? Round nosed? Plated or lead? I'll see if there are some short colt brass about, would I need a different shell plate and dies than 38/357? or can they be used, I'm using a dillon 650. Cheers AT

Hi Guys I have been shooting my 625 for awhile now and its a a breeze to reload. When I recently got a 627-5 I am finding it quite a bit slower to reload. What can you do to help improve the reloading of the 627. I am using moon clips & 38 special cases. I have switched to a heavy crimp on the cases & polished the charge holes & ejector star. Is there anything else I can do? AT

Thanks guys info much appreciated.

Hi Guys & gals I might have a chance to buy a performance centre 627-5 I am guessing in 357 Are these good guns? anything I might need to watch for (beyond normal revolver timing etc?) and what would you expect to pay for one in "mint condition" fired only 4-500 rounds? Thanks in advance Aaron T

Enrico I use 5.1 VV N320 with a 200gr Frontier Flatpoint (Conical) for a 109 pf in my 625/8.light but verrrryyyyyy slow Aaron T

Aaron Do not dry fire the C&S pin without snap caps. Those instructions are on the package. The factory pins forward travel is stopped by the cross pin that retains the firing pin. The C&S pins forward travel is not limited by the retaining pin. Without snap caps the C&S pin will only stop it's forward movement when it collapses the firing pin spring and then slams into the back of the firing pin bushing. You will eventually cause damage to the pin, spring or will beat the pin bushing loose from the recoil shield. With snap caps or normal firing they are fine. The older pins were bad but I have found no fault with the new C&S pins other than not being able to dry fire them without snap caps. Thanks for the heads up. I'll put the standard one back in until I can source an alternative.

I think the best answer is "maybe". Measure the firing pin in the gun. The "good" S&W pins are .495". The "short" ones are .485". If you have a .495" pin a longer one will probably make no difference. FWIW I added a S&W firng pin to an order to see what I'd rcv. I got a "good" .495 pin. Maybe they've seen the light and gone back to them? My firing pin is an "evil" .486 Anything to watch with the longer S&C pins? Thanks Aaron T

Thanks guys Is it OK to dryfire the C&S extended firing pin? Aaron T
