Glock17open

I pay 20 dollar for a bag of a 1000 pieces of 9mm at the range where I shoot. all once fired. I then seperate by head stamp. Win, Blazer, R/P, Federal are All used for my open gun. All other head stamps are loaded for minor

454 casull

Some people like Glocks, but I shoot a 2011 open gun now.

when are you guys coming out with your open gun. I am ready to purchase my next open gun. Bobby built it I want another one.

Offering my help again, Ruther Glen is not that far away from you.

Yes I did see All you earlier post

I load on a Dillon 550, I have the lee factory crimp die in my Last stage. That solved all the problems I used t have.

I also live in Virginia, Ruther Glen in Caroline county. I have been shooting open for five years. I load 124 delta precision over 6.9 of each 1.165. wspm primers. I would be glad to help out also

I am looking for suggestions on 9mm, subsonic reload Data. I have a carbine with a can on it and just need some ideas for a quite load. I need suggestions for JHP and round nose bullets.

currently I am using tight group, 3.8 grains of powder under a 124 grn coated bullet, with CCI small pistol primers. I am curious if any other, powders would work the comp more efficiently. Any suggestions

As Long as they function in your gun, not much difference. although I would recommend shooting a few over a chronograph, to check any changes in velocity

Thanks everyone

I am interested in building an open gun. I have an open gun, but looking for the next one. In the link below, is a fitted upper. I would like to know if anyone has used this as platform to start a build. I also want opinions on Brazos, as far as quality. http://www.1911store.com/Shortblock-BCG-Open-lightning-5--LDC-fram-Unique-slide-Bull-barrel-1-1.aspx

An update for anyone who reads this. I got to spend some time shoot my rifle this past weekend. Shoot Remington golden bullet. I was shoot golf balls at a hundred yards with ease.,

Power factor was 173 prior to bumping up the powder charge. I added three popple holes, so I had to increase the powder charge to achieve the same power factor. My gun builder says the pf needs to be 172 for the comp to work.

I have a ck arms open gun in 9mm. I had three popple holes added to it vs. no popple holes. My load went up two tenths. 6.7 to 6.9. I shoot a 124 grn hollow point, at 1400fps. Making a power factor of 173.

www.mrbullet.com. aka rocky mountain reloading has bullets in stock, I ordered 223 bullets they were delivered in two weeks.

I don't disagree with you in any way, I just choose to not reload the brass from my open gun. Despite my name in this forum, I shoot a ck arms open gun. A nice well built 2011, and all I can afford as a school teacher. I did start with a glock, but no longer shoot major loads through it. I shot at a range, where, the match director sells brass from there indoor range. 20 bucks per 1000. I buy it, separate it by head stamp and load one head stamp at a time. I have had the step, on some brass that has came out of my 2011 open gun, which is, at a power factor of 173. CK arms, say you need a power factor of 172 for the comp to work properly. They also say to not pus the of over 175. I case gauge every round before it goes to a match. This is what works for me.

In a pinch you could do this for primers. I just found this on youtube. Disclaimer I have never done this.

Thanks, you said it all

I don't need the u die when I don't reload 9 major brass. I sort by head stamp and don't use any brass that has any defects that I can see. I only load certain head stamps for major. I used a lee fcd, I don't have any issues will any of the rounds l load. I stated earlier that I avoid using my open brass repeatedly.

Your news is fake, some people don't have a udie. And this is an issue.

The cases with the Sharp lip, were most likely shoot out of an open gun. Those cases bulge due to the extreme pressure. I shoot open in uspsa. I avoid using brass that has been in my open gun for this reason.

Bobby answered right away, he said the two companies no longer exist, He would help me out if I have any issues will my open gun. Also master piece arms will be making open guns soon.
