I'm probably gonna try the lava rocks. I like the wide stock grip width. I thought the scales were slippery.
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.

Actually @Malarkey it is important.
(All referring to 25yd with guns bagged in:)
Without a barrel swap my M&P wouldn't do less than 8" with bullets heavier than 130 grains.
Your average Glock 34 is a 3" gun roughly.
The Stock II with it's cone-fit barrel is exceptionally accurate, along the lines of most match-grade 1911s or a CZ with the Accu bushing. 1" or so is not uncommon with quality reloaded ammo.
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

Another video from that same match.

I'm saying that's why he's shaving the BBI and not the Blues.
Oh haha
-
Could that be due to Blue's are .355 and BBI are .356?
Possibly, smaller diameter and same mass. It would have to be longer.

Didn't have enough of each to really get scientific with standard errors, but this is a point estimate.

Here are some pics of some lengths

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.

As much as I liked BBI bullets, I too had to load as short as you with 147s for my CZ and it was causing some bulging on the random brass I was using. I eventually switched to SNS 147 flat points and I am able to load to 1.135 and get less brass issues.
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

Man I've owned sp01s, shadows, and tanfos. Not once, over 10's of thousands of rounds, have I ever broken a trigger return spring. I've never even met anyone that has, and my club is ripe with CZ shooters.
I've heard of it happening too, so don't take this as me saying it doesn't happen... I just want to meet one person in real life, that this has happened to. Lol
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

Hmmmn... drops and spins without touching the rifling?
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

Great information! Thanks for sharing it. I tried some red dot with blue bullet 125g and liked it quite a bit so I've loaded the rest of that box with them. I just got in another 1200 rounds and will most likely load those with e3 for the Ben Stoeger class I'm taking in November.
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.
