Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. For those that reload for subsonic 9mm what velocity and bullet weight combinations are you using? Are you trying to achieve minor power factor? I am a non competitor, but want to shoot my reloads as close to minor as possible, yet achieve subsonic. I am shooting 115gr Blue Bullets over 5.8gr of Unique. The velocity should be about 1100 fps ( I have not used chronograph on the load just extrapolated from the load tables). The speed of sound is temperature and altitude dependent. I found this table and at the 2000 foot altitude I shoot, it should be subsonic. Elevation - Temperature, Pressure and Speed of Sound.pdf
  2. I am thinking about adding a Holosun 507K to my 43X and having it milled into the slide by the Glock Store in TN. Anyone have any experience with them?
  3. Have you checked over at the CZ forum? https://czfirearms.us/index.php or CZ customer service?
  4. Give GX a call and see if they can accommodate your needs. https://gxproductsusa.com/gx-vice-holster/
  5. Here is a link to the Slip 2000 site: https://www.slip2000.com/slip2000_725.php The concentrate is listed on the shopping page and mixes at 4 to 1.
  6. I use Slip2000 ultrasonic cleaning solution, both the premixed and concentrate. It is water based and safe for all firearms. You should not use the ultrasonic cleaner for constant cleaning of the firearm - just periodically. HK warns that too much ultrasonic cleaning can remove the painted markings on the gun. Be careful to use a firearms approved solution. Some home brews can remove bluing as a prior poster indicated. As for solution life - I to let the used solution settle then pour off the upper solution at the next use and discard the contaminates. I prefer the concentrated cleaner solution so I can top up the woking solution. All and all I really like the ultrasonic cleaner for firearms. I do each gun once or twice a year ( but I no longer shoot competitively). I recently cleaned a 100 year old Colt Hammerless. It took a century of crude off the gun.
  7. I too went to my optometrist. They did a "shooting prescription". The insert lenses were replaced with the prescription lenses. The insert can then be used with your desired Rudy Project glasses.
  8. I am not familiar with the Harbor Freight ultrasonic cleaner specifications. I use a repurposed dental office ultrasonic cleaner. Ultrasonic cleaners work via cavitation, and I have found that items still need to be brushed to loosen dirt. Also the solution should be hot. I use an emersion heater since my unit does not have a built in heater. That said the cleaning is very deep and complete.
  9. I also use Brake Parts Cleaner in the spray can - Green Label. Be sure to use it in a ventilated area, the fumes are not friendly. I clean outside. It does an excellent job. I re-lube after cleaning. I first read that Wilson used it in their shop about 30 years ago.
  10. Unique is my main powder. I use it for 45 Colt, 9mm, and 38 Special. My driving force was my 45 Colt reloads. I get very accurate loads for all three. My 9mm loads is with 115gr Blue Bullet with 5.9 gr of Unique. Just as an FYI my 45 Colt is with 250gr Blue Bullet with 8.4 gr of Unique and 38 Special is 125 gr Blue Bullet with 4.7 gr Unique. All very accurate from my guns.

    45 Colt

    I shoot a lot of 45 Colt. Unique is the go to powered. I load from 8.0 to 8.5 gr of Unique with a .452 250 lead Round Nose Flat Point or .451 Blue Bullet 250 RNFP with standard 45 Colt brass. The 8.5 gr load should give you what you want for hunting. My OAL is 1.58” http://cowboybullets.com/45-cal-250-grain_p_26.html Lead RNFP http://www.reloadammo.com/45cload.htm
  12. I use Defend ear custom molded earbuds. I use them on the outdoor range by themselves and they provide excellent protection while hearing commands. Indoors I used an electronic ear muff. For normal life I use my hearing aid. https://www.westone.com/store/defendear/
  13. Again, Thank you everyone for the help. I stayed with the Dillon wire ejector and removed one of the flat washes from my bearing upgrade kit. Works great.
