Let me know what you think

I've got two pairs of them. One on my S2 and Lim pro. Only issue I've had with them is they like to flex, so if you tighten your screws down all the way they will flex into the magazine channel and keep your magazine from dropping free.

I agree 100%, but the other element behind this is the trigger mechanism and not just the barrel which is where I was leading the discussion into. If I have a .5" gun at 100 yards...but it takes 20lbs of force to pull the trigger, then it is going to be very difficult to achieve that accuracy. They are very accurate guns.

That isn't the q This isn't the question that you really want to be asking. Every gun, is inherently almost as accurate as its ever going to be. The question is..."How accurate can I be with a tanfo right out of the box?". If you are a beast and are acclimated to heavy action SA/DA guns then you will be fine. For the 90% of the population, it takes some lighter springs and polishing until we can be as accurate as we want at the speed that we want it. bottom line: Guns are incredibly accurate....stock triggers are far less than ideal.

Whats the best way to get in touch with Bevin?

I think it was easier when I had my shadow. They've got the ramp on the front and back of the magwell that works really well.

Depends on the bullets: I load my BBI 147's to 1.085 I load my SNS 147 FP's to 1.135

Oh haha

Possibly, smaller diameter and same mass. It would have to be longer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To date the 147SNS FP has been my favorite, although "pending additional tests" I think that the BBI 147 "loaded to 1.09" may be on the same level. Dude blue bullets are like handling powdered smurfs. BBI's HI-Tek lube doesn't seem to come off as easy.

So I ordered a couple BBI 147's last week and I was playing around with some load data last night. I seem to get reliable cambering in both of my guns ariound the 1.09OAL mark which is obviously shorter than the 1.14 I could get out of the SNS FP bullets. I measured the OAL of the actual bullet though and found it to be shorter than the SNS 147 bullet by about .03ish. This would mean that even though it is loaded shorter, the cavity for the powder ignition isn't that much less than a longer OAL SNS bullet. Let me know if anyone else notices the same thing.

I run an 8lb with 147gr 130pf

A little over a year ago I broke one on my SP-01(non-shadow) in dry fire after probably 6 months of dry firing the piss out of it. This year one broke on my stock 2 during the Indiana Section Championship on stage 4 on the 2nd target, so I had to take a zero on the stage and missed placing in master because of it. I was in the same boat as you, until it happened to me.

Trigger Return Springs are usually the first thing to break. Its hard to tell apart from that. I usually replace mine every 4-6 months

Thanks Jake! Can't wait to see it

Yeah, this is the only 147gr bullet that I have been able to load out to that long of an OAL. The 147 BBI's for example have a really wide shoulder, and I can only get those to roughly 1.08. It alll depends on the geometry of the bullet.

1.145 actually, the SNS FP will go that far in a stock 2

I like the 8#, with 147gr and 3.1gr of titegroup

I was talking to another guy, in another thread, and I think that 3.8gr with a 125gr bullet is what he was using to achieve a 132pf

What was your load for the 125gr?

Looking for a load workup for a 125BBI bullet with Red Dot Powder at 135 PF. If you have any experience then let me know.
