    The rules don't back up their position. You aren't wearing more than one gun during the COF. And you aren't using more than one during the COF either. The rules have specific wording. It makes no mention of wearing one while using the other. So enforcing the rule strictly as written I don't see it being a DQ either. This is one of those things that needs to be rewritten more clearly for PCC.

    What division are you shooting in?
  3. js1130146
    Anything off the production list is good to go for CO. https://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-NROI-production-gunlist.php

    I use Wolff in both my open and SS guns. 8# variable for me in my 9 major
  5. js1130146
    Check your crimp. Make sure your press/dies are all set up as they should be, something might have moved.

    Well mostly 2 reasons. I already had a couple .45s and i was already reloading .45. Cost was a non issue and compatibility between them was big for me. If I was starting over I'd give .40 a hard look because of the versatility, but there's just something about a 1911 in .45 And 9mm comp 1911 is on my list, I just can't justify the cost quite yet
  7. js1130146
    It all comes down to preference haha. I happen to prefer .45. And once you reload the cost ends up being a small difference anyway. If you want to shoot the skinny gun on a budget get an RO in 9mm. Cheaper (but still solid) gun and cheap ammo.
  8. js1130146
    It's not less recoil. At the same PF the recoil force should be very similar. Generally speaking, the .40 will have a lighter bullet going faster than the .45

    Sure did, thanks.
  10. js1130146
    I'm not sure why you think a .45 wouldn't be competitive? SS major is limited to 8 rounds regardless. The only downfall is cost of factory ammo. IMO the RO, Trojan or Max are better value. You'll still have to throw money at the DW to get it comp ready.
  11. js1130146
    You're up into Sig Max territory as well. And that comes with all the goodies already installed.

    Hmm. Interesting. I guess I need to educate myself a little more thoroughly on this topic. Do you know if any good resources available for more reading about burn rate and things of that nature?
  13. js1130146
    OK, I've misunderstood things then I suppose. So the quantity of powder required to push a bullet to a certain velocity is unrelated to it's burn rate?
  14. js1130146
    That list does not have HS6 in the proper spot... I find that especially odd as its from IMR (owned by Hodgdon). If you look at Hodgdon load data, HS6 is considerably slower, by about a grain on average.
  15. js1130146
    HS6 is indeed slower than Autocomp and CFE.
  16. js1130146
    You might look into Prima V and Prima SV. I've heard lots of good things about them in 9 minor
  17. js1130146
    SV is faster
  18. js1130146
    I can see replacing some 140s with 155s, maybe even all of them. But there are definite advantages to having a 170 in your kit. You might not use it all the time but you need at least one.
  19. js1130146
    Definitely winchester
  20. js1130146
    WAC kinda wastes the case capacity advantage you have in super/supercomp, but it is a solid powder choice for major. Available and cheap.
  21. js1130146
    It's in super/supercomp right? Hard to beat 3n38 in 38 super/supercomp IMO
  22. js1130146
    I was loading 9.5 grains under a 115 at 1.185. Gotta run the press real slow or you'll have spillage and it's a compressed load. You can physically fit more in there, but I don't think I'd want to try much more
  23. js1130146
    That is an option I suppose. However, a minor load won't prevent breakages, at best it might slow wear somewhat. Open is all about running the ragged edge to eek out every advantage. Most of us just accept the fact that open is not a cheap division to shoot. And live with having to replace parts.
  24. js1130146
    Try it.... it makes loading so much smoother and easier. I didn't for years because I had carbide dies. Now that I've tried it, I'll never go back.
  25. js1130146
    Pretty much everything on an open gun is a consumable. Open major is very violent and very rough on guns. Be prepared to replace basically every part of your gun over it's lifetime.
