I'm considering a 9mm TruBor... Thanks for posting your loads... Curious about how much 8.8gn of 3n38 fills a 9mm case... Seems like a lot of powder for a 9mm case... Do you load longer than normal, or is it a compression load?
I'm thinking about going with MBX magazines... Have you tried them?
I really like my trubor. I did get some jams out of the box. I installed an aftec extractor and did some tuning on the ejector and it runs great. I also use a delta point on a cheely mount. 8.8gn of 3n38 is a FULL case. Honestly its a pain to load, really gotta slow down with the press so powder doesn't spill everywhere when it indexes. It's for sure a compressed load, I load at 1.17. I have 3 MBX's, 2 170's and a 140. I had to play with the feed lips on 1 of the 170's I was getting occasional ftf. The other 2 mags run great.

Yea I'm 9mm. I like aa7 also, along with 3n38. 9.6 gr of aa7, and 8.8 gr of 3n38 are my favorites. I'm using 124 pd jhp's. Ive experimented with 115's but wasn't a fan of the hit in the hand they had. Im really glad I added the popples, like you I went back and forth on whether to add them or not, finally I got tired of thinking about it and decided to just do it lol. In my opinion they flattened the gun out a good bit and it still shoots soft, which is something i was concerned about. As always YMMV but thats my .02

Gans lightened slide and 2 popples . In my opinion the popples made the gun shoot flatter, I lost around 40fps with them. Cant say enough good about Gans, Im interested in how you like you evo grip when you get it.

Ive been following this thread for a while, decided I had to try a slow mo video of my own and post it. 9mm trubor, lightened slide and 2 3/16 barrel ports, 124 gr jhp from precision delta and 8.8 grains of 3n38.

I asked Gans about a racker when we were talking about slide cuts. He said there wasn't enough metal left to safely mount a racker, I didn't argue. He re-blued the slide while he had it. I cannot say enough good about Gans, he was wonderful to work with and his turn around time was amazing. I mailed the slide and barrel to him on monday morning, it got to him on wednesday. It showed up back on my door step on saturday, I put the gun back together and was testing loads on sunday.
