  1. My standard load is a cast 230 RN with 4.8g 700X. It makes 192 PF in my old series 70 Colt and groups about 2". Not bad for a gun that has way over 100,000 rounds through it. In the m5 it only did about 3" but maybe it will do better after its has a few thousand though it. I have tried Tight Group with good results but I will have to try Trail Boss next. The M5 shoots much different than the Colt. Seems to have more felt recoil and is harder on the web of my hand. That should get better when I have new callous built up (different spot than the Colt. It is nice having 14+1 in the gun. I will try the STI mags first. Where is the best place to get them?
  2. thanks for the replies. I went to the ghostholster.com site. Thanks for the tip on how to get to the mags, not a user frindly site. I have only shot 250 rounds in my new M5. The first 10 were for group. Looks like about 3" at 25 yards with a cast 230g RN at a 192 PF. Does anyone know what this gun might do with a tuned load?
  3. Thanks for the info. Do you think anyone makes or can modify a mag to contain more than 14 rounds?
  4. thanks for the responses, but back to the original question. What mags work in the Charles Daly M5 government in 45 acp?
  5. Try SPS, you have to polish the mag catch and the mag will clean drop out of your Bul . When you use SPS mags, check if the feed lips of the mag don't hit the feed ramp => if it does Dremel Thanks for the suggestions. Where is a good place to get or read about the SPS?
  6. I just picked up a Charles Daly M5 191 Govt. 45. It is made by Bull and came with one 14 round mag. Does anyone know what other mags work in it. I tried a Para and it did not. A Kimber seemed to fit in the store. Any suggestions?
  7. What do you think of the Kimber BP 10-2? Will it compete as a L10 gun. Who makes magazines for it?
  8. Thanks for that list mrapathy2000, I will have to study.
  9. Thanks, I have loaded 45's for 20 years but the 40 is new to me. The STI has enough freebore for the longer loads. Have you tried Tight Group or any of the Vihta Vuori, like N310 or N320?
  10. ok, I ask the question worng. First of all, an STI. What powder, in general, works best with the 200's and what, in your experience, would be a good starting load?
  11. What are the best 40 S&W loads for IPSC Major using 200gr bullets?
  12. Thanks, Is the Kimber worth considering for Limited or should I stick with STI and the high price?
  13. What brand mags will work in the BP10, will STI? If none can you modify any to make them work?
