    Glad I could help.  I have  been dealing with Chandler Hardwoods for years.  Shipping can be a little tough, but the products are fine.

    So far so good, I ordered last night and I got a shipping confirmation this afternoon :-)

    I couldn't resist the low price of the matrix. I ordered the 

    AR15-15ML AR Platform 15" M LOCK Hand Guard 1

    $59.00

     

     

     

    I went ahead and also grabbed a stripped upper receiver without a forward assist for $49. Thanks flatland shooter!

    My secret is the Matrix from Chandler Hardwoods.  Great folks to deal with.  15" in the white is $49 and Anodized is $59.  I use them on most of my builds and I have no complaints

    Wow, what's the catch here? That 15" m-lock matrix is 9.5oz including the hardware, it looks good, and it's only $59!?  Gotta be a catch

    There's an Aero 15" in the classifieds for $80. That should be perfect.

    I saw that. 

     

    I may may have found a winner with Midwest Indistries if I go 15". 

    MI-LWM15G3 

    and it's selling at Buds for $150.00. Surprisingly it weighs under 10oz including the hardware.

    edit** it's 9.3oz total!

    I'm having a hard time deciding what to get. My ATi came with a 10" and it's just to short. I'm 6'2 and I need longer. But how long???

     

    This gun will be used 95% for PCC uspsa matches and possibly 3gun. 

     

    It has a 16" barrel with a 2.5" muzzle brake.

     

    Any suggestions for length and brand? Also I'd like to stay $200 or less.

     

    Unfortunately none of the local gun shops have anything other than magpul in stock so I can't fondle anything in person, I'm limited to what I see on the web. 

    JP rifle buffer setup?

    Hello: It shoots flatter for me with the 2 tungsten and 2 steel than the 3 tungsten and 1 steel with the 308 heavy spring. Going to do more testing since I have 2 silent buffers and also try a friends stock buffer at the same time with my loads. Thanks, Eric

    Eric, sorry for bringing up such an old post, but I'm curious where you've landed with your silent setup? 

     

    I just got my gen 2 scs in today and am curious to learn from others.

     

    My gun is ATi milsport, 16" barrel, 3lb trigger and as of now a bone stock jpSCS with 3 tungsten/1 steel weight and the red spring.

     

    I will be shooting 147gr bayou bullets (but have yet to try any loads). From reading various posts here I'm thinking 3.0gr n320 and OAL of 1.085 should be a good starting point to achieve 130ish.

     

    Amyway, where you at with buffer configuration?

    Hey jason, I got a taste of what you were going through last Saturday. I had so much going on in my head (work, vacation, wife threatening my life if i was late) plus the heat was brutal, I had virtually no sleep the night before, and I'm suffering either a pulled or strained muscle in my upper back. I should have opted out of the match, but I went anyway and I had an aweful showing to say the least. Felt like I couldn't do anything right. Usually I can turn the outside world off as soon as I get to the range, but Saturday I was overwhelmed. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know you're not alone, but im glad to hear your head game is improving! Shooting Hattiesburg this month?

    .40 limcat N320 180gr precision delta KKM barrell

    in 10mm/40 Caliber

    Posted

    I'm new to reloading and am trying to figure out load development. I am working on loads similar to yours. This is the data I recorded yesterday at the range.

    CED Millennium Chrono, Sunny and dry, 88 F, started at 1 PM

    MG 180 gr JHP (.400), mixed brass, 1.19" OAL, VV N320; I load on a 650XL - I intend to shoot major only.

    Shot from my STI Trojan

    Avg Vel PF SD

    4.0 gr - 745 134 25

    4.3 gr - 777 142 33

    4.5 gr - 838 151 28

    4.8 gr - 894 161 13

    5.0 gr - 917 165 12

    5.2 gr - 963 173 6

    5.4 gr - 981 177 9

    I shot 5 round strings. I kept the data in the chrono, but also wrote down velocity for each shot on a tablet (new to Chrono's and am still figuring it out) I recorded the results from the chrono, but also made a spread sheet of the velocities for each load and calculated the avg velocity, SD and PF and that is what is reflected in the data above - not what the chrono said, although they were quite close.

    I may try loading to 1.18 and possibly 1.17, but my mags are 10 mm Tripps, and require I load long. Standard white box Winchester rounds nosedive These loads ran 100% on both guns.

    I shot the same as above with my 5" STI Executive. The results were about the same, but the Executive is a much nicer shooting iron. I did not have a paper target available to test accuracy, but I did shoot steel torso targets at about 30 yards and nailed them with no problem.

    Hope this helps

    Looks like 5.1 wil be your magic number of you stick with 1.19. I just got back from vacation but I plan to have a similar set for testing thanks to the suggestions by you and others. And I will also set a target out down range and fire an additional 3-5 shots of each for accuracy. I think I'll have a long day ahead of me, but will be time well spent dialing in what I need.

    Remington R1 OAL?

    in 44/45 Caliber

    Posted

    Just about to start loading for the 45 to be used in the R1. Anyone found the max OAL?

    Being that I also have an R1 I am curious to know what bullets you're using and what you've determined your OAL will be for those bullets?

    .40 limcat N320 180gr precision delta KKM barrell

    in 10mm/40 Caliber

    Posted

    I've searched a bunch and think I have a recipe, but would like some feedback.

    I'm using a 5" KKM bull barrell, precision delta 180gr jacketed / lead bottom bullets, n320 powder, cci primers, and mixed brass. I want to build up some loads and see what works best on chrono for 170pf +/- 2.

    From what I've gathered I think these are my starting plans:

    5.1gr and OAL 1.175

    5.1gr and OAL 1.180

    5.2gr and OAL 1.185

    5.2gr and OAL 1.190

    Should I add some other variations to this,including loading longer and or more powder? I live an hour from the range and want to make the most of my time. Any suggestions are welcomed.

    Also, next time I'm going to let you shoot my limcat, it may change your mind on 40. The dam gun does all the work and I just hang on for the ride. I offer that because it may be worth a thought to step into a custom flatter shooting gun.

    1st stage nervousness ...how to shrug it off?

    The buzzer sets me free to do what I love to do! Like letting the dog off the leash. I love the first stage, and the second and the third. LOL

    I'm with you, I do t get nervous as mush as I get excited! Sure they have similar effects, but not quite. Maybe just tell yourself "this buzzer is why I'm here and switch from worry to anticipation".

    Think of it Like you just hit a $200 scratch off lottery ticket and your standing in line to collect. You're not worried about collecting and having all that extra money you just won, but I guarantee you'll be excited about all the extra ammo you're about to be able to buy!!

    Poly coated bullets with no lube ring

    in 44/45 Caliber

    Posted

    Then it sounds like I can save a few pennies and simply purchase 45's with the line ring. Makes sense on the .40's because I know with my limcat I have to load at 1.175 for the gun to run properly and that would put the lube ring dangerously close to or maybe even in the crimp.
