Sees Sights (6/11)

  1. What are you using for an open gun? 85 PF seems way too light to cycle one.
  2. what is the weight of the .356 bullet?
  3. I was just on the Brazos website and noticed that they sell the same mount for RTS2 and Romeo 3 Max. Do these sights have the same bolt pattern or does the Brazos mount come with two sets of drilled and tapped holes?
  4. I'm seating them to 1.085. You will definitely have a problem with longer COAL. Mine run 100% at that length.
  5. Not an issue for me, my SC loads average around 650 fps.
  6. X-treme bullets makes a heavy plated 9mm bullet which is good for Major power velocities. Watch their website because I've seen that stuff in and out of stock recently.
  7. I just checked PD website. All they have in 115s is FMJ. That's NG for my comped guns. You are also right about pricing
  8. Who is RMR? I like PD bullets. Too bad they don't make the lighter ones. I'll take a look on their website. Thanks
  9. I tried some of the Bayou 105s with good results. My 95 gr MG loads are around 61 PF and the 105s felt like they were in the same ballpark, but I never chronoed them. I am shooting a shrouded barrel so I would rather not use coated bullets but it may come down to that.
  10. I've been using these bullets for a long time for light steel challenge loads. After watching the MG website for almost a year now I've never seen them available. What are the available alternatives that you have found?
  11. Sorry, just read the caption of the thread. For a light Steel Challenge load with light bullets a faster powder would be better. I'm using N310 with all of my loads using bullets around 100 gr +-. The problem with light loads using slow powders is that they don't burn completely which leads to high velocity variations and causes them to be very dirty. Sometimes, grains of unburned powder interfere with the operation of the gun. To give you an idea of what you might try, I have a SC load for my open gun using 115gr bullets and 3.8 gr of N320. To get an equivalent power factor with 3N37, which has a burn rate close to what you listed, I had to bump the load up to 5.5 gr. Both were 109 PF. In this particular case the combination worked pretty well but I wouldn't expect the same results with 100 gr bullet.
  12. What event are you shooting with these bullets? Barrel length? What power factor are you trying to achieve? All three powders you listed are very slow. I assume these bullets are 9mm.

    Bolt speed is equal to 10-22

    I have a cmmg 4.5" barrel with Taccom shroud. Cmmg bolt carrier group . Gun weighs 4.25# and runs 100%. I like it better than my Volqartsen Ultralight with Modshot chassis even though it's 3/4# heavier.
  15. I use N310 exclusively for PCC SC loads. My current load is 2.4 gr N310 under 95 gr Montana Gold JHP seated at 1.085". 61 PF in my Taccom 5.5" barrel. The high impulse of this very fast powder provides positive cycling and ejection with minimal dot movement. I've read that N310 is temp sensitive but have not noticed a difference in the way my gun runs in temperatures from about 50 to 95 degrees.
