I have gotten a lot of them now in the bulk brass I buy form an indoor range. I load on a XL650 and use an RCBS 9mm die and just punch the flash hole out to the larger size.

Yes that's my favorite powder for 10mm and yes it is a flashy powder .... I run a little bit more than that in my loads but I did start out lower and worked my way up with a chronograph.

When I was still shooting limited division my go to was 155gr Blue Bullets over e3.

I have a Sig Max and use the .355 125gr blues and they group good for me.

I have it on my XDM 5.25 9mm and use it in USPSPA in the Co. Division works great. I will say use red loctite on it not blue.

I use it in 9mm .40s&w and 45acp. I've got 40+ lbs of it. e3 is my go to powder for handgun reloading. You can use the reddot chart start low and work you way up with a chronograph

Well I have an XDM 5.25 with a vortex venom on it. I'm using 125gr Blue Bullets with 3.6gr of e3 with a COL of 1.100 and makes 140PF. The gun has a 14# recoil spring and PRP extreme trigger kit. I know e3 is a fast powder but I don't think it's a big charge. Gun runs 100%

Updated I received my shipment of Blue Bullets today. So total time was 6/16/20 to 9/5/20

I placed an order on 6/16/20 and got a shipping number yesterday. The item still has not moved in the USPS system yet.

I'm running the Blue Bullets 125gr with e3 @ 3.6gr. My col is 1.100 with a 143pf out of my XDM 5.25

I'm running 125gr RN Blue Bullets with 3.6gr of e3 at 1.090 OAL. You will need to chronograph your own because you may have +/- of a powder changed to make power factor.

I have an XDM 5.25 setup for CO. When I started factory ammo was a no go. Did the same thing you are saying in this thread. Had to go to an OAL of 1.090 the big thing was droping the powder changed down because of the short OAL.

That's a good thing . Are you using a GRx die ? I run all my .40 S&W and 10mm brass through it before I load them. I get a lot of Glock brass from a range and it has the Glock smile on some of the .40 and 10mm I get. I never tried it with out the GRx die.

I got some brass that looked like that .... I ran it through a Redding GRx die first and had no problems loading it afterwards. I never really knew what it was shot out of .... but an HK sounds ok to me.

Not saying the spring may not be the problem but when was the last time the striker channel was cleaned? It needs to be free from dirt and debris... oh and no lube or oil in it also.

I have shot both of them and just use the Blue Bullets now. The same powder and charge with both but I had a little more smoke with the Black don't know why.

Make sure your firing pin channel is clean of all oils and lubes. The channel and Striker is made to run dry.

I run 125gr Blue Bullets with e3 powder in my XDM 5.25 in CO. They work great for me. Your going to need to work up a load that your gun and you like.

Hi all can some one clear this up for me. I'm a heavy metal fan but under the United Multi-Gun League rules is it still 1shot on each target for rifle and pistol or is it 2 shots on each target.

I'm running a Powder River Precision Solid Stainless Steel Guide Rod in my XDM 5.25

No it's not a ramped barrel..... Contact RIA they are good with warranty stuff... just takes some turn around time.... I bet they fix the gun for you. As for the main spring housing the gun crafter for para fits good.... I have one in my Pro Match .40 or just ask them if they can install a metal one for you.

I had a similar thing with my RIA Pro Match .40 at first when I got it. for me it was I needed to go longer on the rounds... 1.180 to 1.200 depending on bullet type. In the end I had a few magazines that where out of spec. and replaced them and the gun ran and is running with no more extraction problems.

I did a drop in PRP Ultimate kit in my XDM 5.25 9mm. It was the best upgrade I did to the gun. A side note you my need to lower the recoil spring weight so not too over power the striker spring......
