I just talked to the previous owner And he said that it’ll run 170pf with 8.2 grains of hs6 at 1.165 and a jhp...I’m not seeing that it is that far off that is what everyone else’s Charges are

Forgot to include.... Full Size, 5.4 barrel, full length slide, short dust cover, 4 holes in the barrel. 2 Vees at a 45 and 2 popples. I believe all are 3/16 but I don’t have it to measure. I would need to load at a 1.165

That’s the plan. Thinking I’ll start at 9.0gr. Unless someone tells me otherwise

Hey all, Looking for where to start loading 9 major at with the following powders with a 124gr precision delta jhp and CCI srp... cfe hs-6 aa#7 thanks, J

Thanks! That article is great

Thanks guys, This is what I'm currently working with.... Thinking I'm going to go with either RMR JHP or PD JHP both in 124gr and load to 1.165" OAL but, I need to check to barrel to see how long I can load. Thinking I'm going to with AA7, if I can find it local, because its going to require more powder thus more gas and start at a safe amount, 8gr ,and work up from there. Assuming I'm going to be in the 9.5-9.8 grain range. Looking for pressure signs obviously. But, I might as well pick up some HS-6 as well too and test. Thinking I'll be in the 8.2 gr range for that one. Sarge, I'm hoping to start load testing the beginning of the month and the goal is to shoot the last 4-5ish, matches in open, monster matches included. I will try this myself but, When I start having issues I'll hit you up and take you up on your offer! Thanks

Whats the Brazo's Test?

The holes in the barrel is the one thing I wasn’t happy with when I purchased from the previous owner. I was going to shoot it for a while and see what I can get it to do, then replace the barrel and comp if I’m not happy... I mean after all it’s my fun gun, I’m happy in limited. AA7 is what I’m leaning towards. Thinking with the holes in the barrels I’ll have to go with 124s Sounds like find the 170pf load and increase from there until the gun runs flat and the dot tracks up and down, with the dot quickly returning back to the target. Take video and make sure all the gas is coming out of the ports and comp not front. Am I correct in my thinking?

Hey all, Just recently purchased my first open gun. I've been shooting 40s&w 2011s in limited and reloading for quite a while, 5+ years. But, after doing some research I have a question when it comes to physically shooting the open gun and tracking the dot. For reference I've got a full size 9mm major gun with 4 holes drilled, 2 popples and 2 vee-ports at a 45 deg, in the barrel and a Bedell Ti comp... 1) I have yet to decide a powder, I have some CFE laying around, but thinking HS-6 vs AA7. Anyway, what would be a good power factor to shoot towards to make the comp work? As loading for a open gun and non-comp gun seem different. In limited I would load to 170 and call it a day but, what about open? Is there a power factor that makes the comp work better, i.e. 176-180 or is it similar to loading for limited? 2) When I narrow down a powder and load up some rounds, what am I looking for the dot to do? How much movement? What kind of movement? 3) When i get everything situated, I'm assuming spring wise its similar to finding a proper spring weight in my limited guns? THANKS in advance! J Ohh, and if this should go in the reloading form, mods I apologize and please move. Thanks.

Thanks. Not sure why either.

Nope, It’s already a 6-40. But I’ll give that a go if it doesn’t work, would a 8-40 be too large?

I’ve got the screw out of the mount and frame. The screw came out easy, just not fully able to tighten the screw to the new mount. The issue is what would I do next to put the new mount on... Retap with same thread? Helicoil? Enlarge and retap with a larger hole? Deal with and use 4 holes? Thread in new screw and red locktite and not tighten down all the way? thanks

I just bought a open gun and when I was removing the optic/red dot mount from the frame to replace it I realized that it had a stripped screw hole on frame of the gun and was only using 4 screws instead of 5. I was going to use a gogun thumb rest and need all 5 holes. Any suggestions on how to fix? thanks J

I’ve been having persistent issues with my SDB automated primer feeding system since I purchased it and am looking for some major help. Every 500-700 rounds I am experiencing these issues.... 1) pulling off the automatic priming system and removing all the primers, cleaning it out, finding the problem and thinking I’m fixing it. At least once 2)dropping primers 1-4 times per 100 and picking them up off the ground 3) binding and not feeding primers 2-3 times per 100 rounds 4) Replacing the plastic orifice at least once I’ve called and talked to tech support multiple times and have been told the same thing every time, nothing different. By now I’ve done everything by the time I call and have been told.... https://www.dillonprecision.com/kb/article/14/square-deal-b-primer-feed-issues Needless to say I’ve checked all of these multiple times, every time I’ve taken off the automatic priming system and when I’ve called and nothing has helped. I’ve gotten talked to about the issue, laughed at said that I’m obviously not doing something correctly because the plastic orifices should last at least 10,000 rounds not less than 1000, then send me 3. Which last a whopping 2000 rounds at most. I have sent my SDB in to Dillon to checkout the problem in the past, they said nothing is wrong and I, yet, still am having these problems very frequently!! I need help and don’t know where to turn, I don’t feel comfortable calling tech support because I’m getting the same answers every time and it’s not helping. Not to mention laughing at me, making me feel stupid and incompetent.... What do you guys think I should do? Suggestions? Comments? Thanks
