Shotgun Stage Library
KrakenFan69 replied to George's topic in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
Anyone happen to archive these stages anywhere? Would love to check them out for some inspiration. And yes I realize how old this thread is. But some of you guys probably still have old copies of Reader's Digest laying around to so I thought I'd take a shot. (Not interested in the copies of RD. Thx) Kraken Fan #69 -
Yes the mold was made. I am really happy with it. I especially like the bevel base to make smoother loading. It's dropping around 155 gn with my alloy. I've had good luck with the accuracy too. I'm thinking I'll get a second one to increase productivity when casting. Thanks, Kraken Fan #69

Yes, but I did find it easier somehow. lol You may have just ruined it for me with logic. Kraken Fan #69

Only load 4 round into the mooner at 3/6/9/12 O'Clock. Run the tool. Then put in the other 4 and do it again. You can do it in sets of 2 also. Unless yours is wildly different than mine, which is possible. Kraken Fan #69

Fail to fire with new Apex extended Firing pin
KrakenFan69 replied to KrakenFan69's topic in Revolver Forum
Currently CCI. I'm having issues sourcing Federals near me. But the ones that failed had a deeper indent than those that are igniting now!? I thought perhaps the primer wasn't seated but it happened on several I tried. Kraken Fan #69 -
I've used mine for my 627 for 2 different matches. My left hand got bruised and swollen after each 2 day event. I tried loading 4 or even 2 at a time but at this point I think I may have to find another solution. I am hoping that my 20 moons will get worn in enough to make the loading easier but we will see.

So I run a 627 in IPSC. I load my own .38 Long Colt with a custom 150 gn projectile. I get the odd fail to fire occasionally and I thought I better have a backup firing pin so I picked up an Apex extended firing pin. I replaced the pin and spring and could not get primer ignition regardless of how much tension was on the strain screw. I was getting some pretty heavy hits on the primers too. I replaced the old pin and they fired. Then I put the new pin in with the old spring and again they fired. That's where I left it but I'm just curious if anyone could explain why it wouldn't work. Thanks for any help, Kraken Fan #69

BMT Moon Loader. Are those prices in pesos or American money?
KrakenFan69 replied to ysrracer's topic in Revolver Forum
I was kinda thinking the same when pricing them out. Then I realized the other options weren't much cheaper anyway. Then I got mine and man it's the slickest thing ever. Great product and well worth it. Kraken Fan #69 -
My BMT arrives Thursday. Along with the Moon Clip Checker. Super stoked. Kraken Fan #69

A truly Canadian display of emotion. lol Kraken Fan #69

Not much response so I'll mention this. A guy in my area picked one up for IPSC and had nothing but issues. Never did get it to work well and eventually bought a Chiappa Rhino. Yeah, odd choice for IPSC but he's happy and the gun works. Good luck, Kraken Fan #69

Moonclip holder (on your belt) recommendations (627)

Working on that part! Kraken Fan #69 -

Easier than a Server I'd bet. lol Kraken Fan #69 -

KrakenFan69 replied to Vincerama's topic in Revolver Forum
I feel your pain. (I am building the 2 post holders for emergency use when the stage plan fails though. A Buddy got the wrong posts by accident and gave me them.) I do like my Server though. One thing, you have to "tier" the moons so they first one out is "on top of" the second and so on. I made some brass spacers to allow me to not have to worry about that. Load one moon between 2 spaces and go. The server isn't any good for a table load anyway so I figured what the heck. Works for me so far in practice. We'll see in a match in May. Good luck Kraken Fan #69 -

KrakenFan69 replied to Vincerama's topic in Revolver Forum
This is the setup I went with for my 627. I'm just starting out in revolver but the ability to pull those moons from the same place works for me. Kraken Fan #69 -
Went back out today. Found hope of salvation at 4.8 and 5.2 gn Power Pistol. More testing to follow. Kraken Fan #69

Picked up a pound of Power Pistol and started load workup tonight. Fun fact. 3.6 gn in Long Colt is a mouse fart but very accurate. 4.0 only hits about a 112 PF. lol Kraken Fan #69

Sadly, I did. WSF is my 9mm powder. Kraken Fan #69

OK. I'm back and I'm having issues. I just can't seem to find an accurate load that makes 130 PF with the Lee 358-150 1R mold. (Which really sucks because I had a custom version made by Arsenal! ) I get great accuracy just below then it just goes to crap. I've tried W231, WSF, Clays, VV N320. I thought 4.0 of W231 in Long Colt had me sorted but I guess not. Went back and tried to get something worked out for Short Colt and just can't make PF while maintaining accuracy there either. I'm using Starling Brass in a S&W 627 Pro 5". Any thoughts fellas? I'm hurting here. Kraken Fan #69

Vibratory dry cleaning case lube off finished reloads?
KrakenFan69 replied to IGOTGLOCKED's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
Almost identical to my process. Works great. Left some in the vibratory 24 on accident one time and the Hi-Tek coating was completely stripped off the lead right up to the case. lol Kraken Fan #69 -
That mold is my backup plan. I've been talking with Arsenal Molds about a custom mold. Similar design to the Lee but a bit heavier and no lube grooves. Been a minute since I heard form him though. I had better email him again. Kraken Fan #69
-
Yeah, I'm looking for a good round nose mold but not finding much I like in the 158 range in round nose in a 6 cavity mold. I also forgot to mention I am coating with Hi-Tek so there's that. Kraken Fan #69

I'm running the same revolver and starting up in Revo div in IPSC this year as well. I found a good load for 38 "Medium" Colt at 4.0 gn Win 231. (I'm trimming Winchester 38 Special Brass to 0.900") I just received my Starline 38 Long Colt Brass and am starting testing for a load for it to see if I can find an accurate load with the brass at that length or else I'll cut it down to the 0.900". I'm loading the Lee 358-158 RF I cast myself. Obviously, you will want to start low and work up looking for signs of pressure. Good luck and stay safe! Kraken Fan #69
