plated bullets are notorious for tumbling and poor accuracy especially is over crimped. buy some sample packs of coated bullets such as ibejiheads, blue bullets, BBI in 180s. you should see a vast difference Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

did you try the plunk test with your ammo in the RO? 147s are usually longer and need to go shorter. Or, it could need more crimp too Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

hand tension and wrist tension are two separate entities. Lock your wrist but relax your right to just hold the gun gently between your fingers. Don't monkey grip the gun with your dominant hand. You're dominant wrist being locked will control the muzzle rise. Lock your support hand wrist 100% but again don't smash your fingers against the strong hand. Wrists will lift and allow gun to return back to zero if stance is good Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I have one in 45 and it's really accurate. See what kinda group you get at 25 yards. The barrel lockup on mine has no play. Coming up with a good bullet and powder selection/charge weight would be the next step. good luck! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I concur. we all end up there eventually Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

that would work but honestly if you're just wanting to compete in the division id strongly recommend the new Walther steel frame. You'll end up saving money and have a better consistent trigger. Especially, with Walther making a factory flat trigger option. I'm a limited division competitor btw Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Allegedly, it's not making weight for carry optics and thus is not coming here Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

You won't regret the 650!! Reloads all calibers necessary Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Welcome to reloading!! I've had Lee Loadmaster, Hornady LNL AP, Dillon Square deal b & XL650. Please start with at least Dillon XL650 or even 1050 if you can afford it(that's my next purchase). The smoothness and the efficiency of pulling the handle can't be compared yo the others I named. Will you be buying brass? If so, buy it cleaned and polished as it's readily available that way nowadays. If not, buy a Frankford Arsenal wet tumbler and Brass juice. You will get sparkling clean brass that loads like butter through your dies. Dry tumbling is cool but my wet tumbler can do 25 pounds in 90 mins. I lay it out on a huge cookie tray and let a small space heater hit it for a few hours. Then just let it air dry, throw it in a 5 gallon bucket and it's ready to load when you want. Dies: Use the LEE Deluxe 4 die set for all your pistol calibers. Between the included factory crimp die, short decapping die and affordable pricing you won't go wrong. Get a casefeeder. It'll speed up the loading process and allow you to focus more on the powder in the cases. What's your budget? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

You should try uspsa!! otherwise, yea it's made for competition Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Titegroup or 700-X. making 172pf out of both with 180gr ibejiheads @ 1.205 with 4.2gr of 700X or 4.4gr of Titegroup. There is muzzle flip but very little recoil. Sights get back on target with both fast burning powders. You won't regret it Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

decrease your charge to at least 5.0 grains and go shorter until it plunks properly. you should def chrono and find a less hotter charge. 187 is too much Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Hindsight is 20/20: Have a 2011 and love it. However, with all the money spent on it the fiscally responsible deal would've been to buy two TSOs and have a backup. The trigger is very nice and the gun is just as heavy as my steel grip 2011 with limcat magwell and EGW mainspring housing. If you're not partial get a TSO. They are awesome out the box and come with 4 twenty round magazines. You can literally shoot a match the same day. Otherwise, 2011s rock and to a lesser degree so do double stack 1911s such as ope this helps. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk I've shot his glock 24 and it's awesome. I may be adding one in the future. If you want a gun that transitions fast then a 24 is the way to go. With an aftermarket barrel such as KKM you'll get tight lockup and accuracy.
