Follow up with my first open gun by venom custom
Corrado_kid replied to engineerjet's topic in Open Pistols
Good things take time. You won't be disappointed -
I’ve been running AA7 in my open guns for 2yrs now if that helps. Biggest thing is to not overheat the guns if your shooting a practice session, heat will kill guns. I shoot almost every weekend btw

Yes 125gn

The pair that rnlinebacker posted are mine. I would highly recommend going with a Venom Custom. I took the plunge with one and it ran fantastic right out of the gate so I had another one built and it’s been nothing but awesome!!! I ran it for the first time in a major match and it preformed flawlessly as expected. Don’s level of customer service is on point. I would rather deal with one person instead of a company where you are just treated as another number in line. Of the many companies that are making custom guns, Venom Custom and Rafferty Custom are the top two that I would recommend.

Problem is finding AA7…
-
For whatever reason the .355’s don’t hold a group. The .356’s do. I tried both and never looked back. I run tc .355’s for minor and .356 rn for major that way I don’t get the bullets mixed up.

I have 2 popple holes in my guns and run blues with no leading. Give them a try.
-
I run blues .356 with AA7 and Autocomp. Haven’t had any issues with any fouling or problems. I load at AA7 - 9.4gn of AA7 1.65 oal Autocomp - 6.8gns 1.165oal 5” middy with 2 popples

I run any kind of small primer in my open gun, it’ll set off anything. Rifle, rifle magnum, pistol magnum, etc doesn’t matter the brand of primer either. I’ve used Tula rifle as well.

Victor - Blue Bullets have been awesome. Zero leading in my comps and they are very accurate, just make sure you order .356 profile. I have run the tc and the rn blues with zero issues.
-
Yes they are are still 5” barrels
-
Fredenhagen and he’s out of Nashville, TN
-
Yes both are 5” barrels
-
I believe so. I’m running 9major. Not sure what the other venom gun is but if I had to guess it would be 38sc.
-
Nope, no issues at all I’ve been putting blues through the first one for a year now
-
Running 9 major 9.2gn AA7 @ 1.165oal 125gn .356 RN blues or 9.5gn AA7 @ 1.165oal 125gn .355 JHP Zeros

The right one is the new middy from Don. It arrive Thursday, I shot it Saturday in Battle for the North Coast. It ran flawless the whole match!!!

I included the links to Amazon where I order the selfie stick and what I used to attach it to my cart. I use a GoPro remote on my belt to turn the camera on and start recording. I also use it to turn the camera off. I use my phone to make sure I have a good view of the entire stage and then turn the camera off until I’m the on deck shooter. I use a GoPro hero 7 black set of 4K and the video is perfect for what we do. I didn’t see the need to spend the extra money on the newest latest greatest GoPro. I have 5 batteries I switch out during a major match if I’m recording 3-5 of my buddies. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074SGNWY9?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07KMZXCX8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

This is my setup I use for matches Zuca cart with my range bag in the middle, has everything in it that I’ll need through out an entire match. attached to the zuca cart is my go pro with a 10ft “selfie” stick. Where I am able to get an entire aerial view of the entire stage. I also use a hat cam for first person view. I was using a RunCam2 but the audio isn’t the greatest so I picked up a GoPro hero session 5.

AA7 and SWMP are almost identical. I was having more unburnt powder in my gun then with AA7, 5" kkm hybird barrel with two popple holes. I have used autocomp, SWMP, and AA7. I finally settled on AA7 because the dot tracked better then with autocomp. Both are good powders just personal preference. I was at 7.0gn of autocomp with 1.170oal 125jhp (zeros). I use 9.7gn of AA7 with 125gn jhp and 9.4gn with 125gn blues, everything is at 1.170oal.
