So, pjb45, what's your point?
-
So has anything changed? Are these grips still not allowed in Production or CO?

I couldn't find a small in the full size so I just went with the small X-carry grip module. I removed my weight from the legion grip. Sure it's not as heavy, but I find a better grip is more important than the additional weight (to me).

I was speaking with a friend about this and the appeal to him was the possibility of changing the side grip panel (like the CZ or Tanfo) in order to adjust the width and aggressiveness to his personal preference.

Thanks for the heads up about the fine dust. I'll also be loading indoors in a spare bedroom, and that would be a definite no-go for me. Guess that settles it in favor of CS. Still interested to hear your feedback once you've shot more it of, of course!
I don't want to get off topic because this is a sport pistol thread but since you were interested in my opinion with Clean Shot, I thought I would give a little feedback. I got to do some doubles and bill drills yesterday. The barrel was surprisingly cooler than I expected after the bill drills. No apparent issues with accuracy but these drills were only at about 7 yds. As far as recoil goes (124/125 grain), when shooting quickly, they all seem about the same to me. I can't notice a measurable difference. I'm concentrating on my shots and not the recoil. I am using black bullets international and will say that they were quite smokey. About what you would expect with Titegroup and coated bullets. I'm sure it would be less with FMJ. Comparing it to sport pistol, barrel/slide heat would be a draw but smokiness would definitely go to sport pistol for the win. Just my 2 cents.

This is the dust I was referring to. This was after about 100-150 rounds and buildup is more over time. I know most will think this is minor/nothing/irrelevant, but as I mentioned, I reload in a spare bedroom and don't like the idea of powder floating around. Just a personal issue.

Apparently my powder measure has enough clearance between powder bar and spacer (.007) to allow Sport Pistol to get in there, wear the parts and dust the press. Today I smoothed out the roughness and made a .004 shim for the spacer. If your powder measure runs clean and smooth with fine powders you don't have a problem.
I've seen the issue online where people have had to put a spacer (shim) between the powder bar and spacer to reduce the gap to prevent leakage. But those who have had to do that claim that they have leakage that they see on the powder bar itself. I never experienced this with Sport Pistol. It seems like the "dust" was coming from the powder funnel. I could see it floating in the lights on my press when the case drops from the funnel. Kind of like when you see dust in a stream of sunlight. I have never experienced this with other powders I've used on the dillon, which are VN320, CFE Pistol, and Clean shot. Also, when using Sport Pistol on my Lee Press with the Lee Auto Drum I didn't have the "dust" issue. I realize that CFE and Clean shot are ball powders and VN320 is extruded, but is Sport Pistol considered a ball or flake powder? I thought it was ball but someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. If it's flake or at least a VERY fine ball, they may explain the dust from the powder funnel.

Could someone elaborate on the statements of sport pistol and/or clean shot messing up the dillon powder bar? Why does it happen and an example of what we should be looking for? I'm not familiar.

Yes I have used about fifteen pounds of sport pistol and it does leave a fine dust on my press but I have not noticed any dust past my press on anything else. I got some aa#2 and its just as accurate and it does not leave any dust on the press.
Interesting that you mention AA#2. I've read that Clean Shot is almost identical to it.

Has anyone tried both Alliant Sport Pistol and Shooter's World Clean Shot that can speak to their perception of the advantages/disadvantages of one over the other for 9mm minor? It seems both are touted to be relatively clean burning and meter well. Wondering if anyone has observed one powder to yield better ES/SD than the other in loads where the only difference was powder used.
In my limited experience, Shooter's World CS has very similar ES and SD to Sport Pistol. I will say however, that I was using a different chrono with CS than I usually use. It may not matter but thought it should be stated. I can give more feedback when I have shot more of it (only about 300 rounds so far).
I'm trying CS because I was getting a fine dust on my press with Sport Pistol. Dillon powder hopper on a 650. Anyone else getting a fine dust on their Dillon press with Sport Pistol? I have talked to some who get it and some who don't. I find it quite strange. I REALLY like the powder but I load inside a spare bedroom and want to keep the powder spillage as minimal as possible.

Welcome Jason! I like Prejean's in Lafayette, Mulatte's in Breaux Bridge, catfish court-bullion, etouffe, and a few other LA things

Just FYI, Mulatte's is no more and is now now called Pont Breaux's.
Hello Jason, another South Louisiana Jason here.

FWIW, I used some Atlanta Arms 124gr at a match a few months back and if I recall correctly, the were 135 PF at the chrono stage. They worked great that day, I can't say the same for me.

Compare both powders at the same velocity or power factor. Comparing same charges does not mean anything as they both could be different power factor
Agreed. It wasn't a complete side by side comparison. It was just what I had for point of reference.

Initial quick thoughts. SP smoke was maybe a little less that TG. I didn't find the difference significant. 147 SP was a bit softer than 147 TG but not very much (both loaded at 3.2 Gr). I felt the 135 SP (3.5 Gr.) was quite a bit softer than both. So far, in my limited loading experience, 135 SP may be my new favorite round. I found accuracy comparable but I favored the 135 when attempting double taps. The pic included was freehand slow shots (a couple seconds between). The pistol was a Sig P320 FS.

Thanks to everyone for posting their load info. I went to purchase an 8lb of TiteGroup and the store also had Sport Pistol. A friend of mine was wanting to try it so I picked him up a pound and decided to grab one for myself. I'm hoping the loads are as good as everyone says but at the same time (if its as good as everyone is saying) I'm hoping the TiteGroup purchase isn't a regret. I loaded some 147 Bayou Bullets and 135 Swamp Poppers in SP. Will give an update after I get a chance to shoot them. I have some 147 Bayou Bullets with TG to compare them to. Once again thanks. The info here has been great for starting load data.

Wilson Combat grip modules incoming

I was just joking because your post ended up showing about 5 times.
I heard from a reputable source that the grip module was under review.
