Buy American components and reload quality ammo for less.

What powder? Large or small primers? Brass, where to find and what kind? Any suggested loads? Any other thoughts about the 6.8 SPC. Do you have to worry about the pressure curve like the 308 Win?

CDNN's web site has listed Para 15+1 mags. I have 4 and they each hold 16 reloadable 45 ACP's. Have not tried to fit them in a box yet. It might be close. I use them in a Bul M5 by Charles Daley. It's slide cracked after about 25,000 192 PF loads. CD replaced it with no problem. I use 172 PF loads now. It shoots real nice but I retired it when I got my STI Edge in 40.

Got one the day before the election. Very nice, well built and balances perfectly. It is in Tan. It comes with 1 10 round magazine, but 20, 30 and 42 are available. I guess I will have to start ordering lots of mags now before they are all gone. It has a 16” barrel, does anyone have a load (223 rem) for a short barrel 223? What powder would work best?

I have a Charles Daly (Bul M5) in 45 ACP. It has a polymer frame and is lighter than my Edge by a fair amount. It was only $579 at the time and was made in Israel. The price is higher now. I shot it in matches right out of the box with a 3# trigger. Not the most well known gun but very nice for the price. I have at least 75,000 rounds through it. Para mags fit with only a slight modification to the mag latch notch.

Is there any word on the Ohio Calculator Tool or another option?

What loads do you like for 1000 yards?

Thanks Steve. I have been there and was looking for another option. Anyone?

Just wanted to bring this back to the top. I have looked all over for results and can't find any. Can someone please tell us where the results can be found or make a report. Thanks,

I have a Bul M5 and it takes the Kimber mags. I bought a Kimber mag and the only name on the mag was Megar, for $49.00. It holds 14 rounds. I bought 4 Megar mags from Midway for the Para for under $20.00 each . They hold 13. To make them work I had to inlarge the mag catch notch. No problems after. Promag the same way only they hold 14. I love the M5 and the Kimber is kind of like it. The slide cracked after 25,000 rounds (1.5 years). It took them 2 weeks to get it back to me with a new slide. Cheep gun but worth every penny. Kimber does not make it any more.

Does anyone know what happened with Robbie?

I just tried a "hot" 320 load with a 230g and it kicked alot more than my equally fast 700x or tight group load. A slower 185g load kicked much less, kinda nice. No time to chrono either yet.

Perfect answer, thanks

So you can see both target and the sights with one lens for one eye and one lens for the other?

I need two prescriptions, one for my sights and one for the targets. Has anybody solved this problem? Maybe 2 lenses.
