    Canik Rival Magazine "Over-Insertion"

    in Canik

    Posted · Edited by stephenmcrna

    So https://www.henningshop.com/ announced yesterday that he made a basepad that has a skirt on it that will prevent the over insertion.  He said you could shoot prone rested if you like.  Its still Carry Optic legal ect .    He said it will be ready to ship over the weekend.   You can read the comment section on his insta page.  These are the basepads I probably would have bought anyway. 

     

    In Addition, somebody on the comment section said that Canik is working on a replacement mag release to fix this issue.  

     

    My gun has been at Canik for probably 2 months now.  Last time I spoke with them he said I was getting a new gun.  We will see.   

    Shooters world Clean Shot for 124 Grain

    Several coated projectiles from several guns to give you some ideas. 
     

    4.0 grs is for sure the load. 
     

    There is an asterisk * by my go to load.

     

    I ended up shorting the Precision 125gr flat points quite a bit to make them fit all my guns. As with many previous experiments, shorter COAL almost always equates to better accuracy. Exception being the open gun where the case is full.

     

    Precision 125gr FP’s are the most accurate coated 125 I have tried so far (of course they are out of business now). Blues are pretty close if not a tie for second.

     

    Couple instances where I haven’t chrono’d a go load, but there are chrono results on either side to give a rough idea.

    Rival-S Chambering Issue

    I've been trying to get a new barrel for my Rival-S since April. Let me know when they get you yours. And make sure they install the Rival-S's barrel and not the polymer Rival barrel. I only mention that because they sent me 3 polymer Rival barrels instead of the Rival-S's, even though the customer service guy made a note to make sure I was given the right one. 

    Thank you for this info.  I'm starting to get annoyed especially since a well known GM recently got a new barrel super quick and posted online.  I'm about to ask for the gun back so I can get the barrel reamed and try that.  

    Rival-S Chambering Issue

    My steel frame  is at Canik as well for same issues.  Im not sure I expect them to do anything different. I will report when I get it back.  My Freind has a chrome and a black.  Only the chrome runs reliably.  I have a black. I think there might be a thin layer of coating on black making the chamber tighter.  Not sure 

    New upgrade for 650.

    I started using this on my 650.  Significantly shortens the stroke of the 660 without changing dies.  
     

    I honestly never even gave much thought about how huge the travel is on a 650 is to complete the stroke, or why that even is until I saw this kit. All i ever load is pistol ammo, and the guys at Dillon have to make the press with the intention of allowing end users to load both rifle cartridges and pistol. Since a lot of progressive press users 

    Only load pistol, there is a bunch of wasted motion. And the guys at BNB have figured out a way to reduce that travel tremendously. and honestly, now that Ive tried the press short stroked, i dont think i can go back.  

    The real bonus will be for new 650 owners who haven't yet gone down the path of upgrading all the stock do dads with bearings and what not because this kit covers the majority of them. Mine was already modded so the kit replaced a few of the previous upgrades. The parts in the kit are super well machined, no sharp corners or unsightly tool marks, Just super clean well thought out parts. 

    130 grain brass monkey bullets

    I got a set of the RN 125 grain, before they were correctly renamed as 127 gr, and I also had to load quite short in my Shadow, the bullet profile is not friendly to short leade barrels like the Shadow, stock. Most recently I picked up the 150gr bullets and I noticed that the coating came off in small spots while they were in transit, not all of them, but enough that I noticed a green powder on my fingers after I loaded a hundred rounds. When I initially got the 125gr, they were the first of the new batch of color and they were losing their coating quite easily. confirmed to be a bad batch by BMB.

    They shoot well, but to be honest, I don't like that the coating is still not exactly there. I may still stick to SNS as the coating is very sturdy on those.

    Yeah I been shooting blue bullets for a while. I may just order there 125 grain and call it a day as long as I don’t have to wait forever

    Just wanted to share I tried out brass monkey bullets 130 grain.  I went with them because I knew they would ship right away 

     Gun. Shadow 2

     sport pistol 4.1

    10 shot average was 1040 fps 

    about 135 pf

    The longest I could load was 1.108.

     

    I was a able to shoot a fist sized 10 shot group at 25 yds.  But I ran out of ammo to make a final decision.  The dot returned way faster than my 145 grain.  I’m going to shoot the rest of the 1000 before I make a final decision. I tested at 3.8, 3.9, 4, and 4.1 gr.  I got a squib at 3.8.  4-4.1 seemed to be the best. Just need to test hone in accuracy a little bit more.  I really liked the 4.1 with a 12 lb recoil spring.

    I just started with 147 gr blue bullets. Cz shadow 2. I found that 3.2 grain sport pistol at 1.10 worked great however my sights were coming back on target too slow with an 11 lb recoil spring.  

    I ordered 135 grain and loaded them to 3.6  gr  sport at 1.15 oal.   I love this load.  I was able to get my splits down from .21 average to .17-.2.   To me it’s a great balance between the 147 and 124.  

    In addition. The 135 gr gauge better and I have less problems being a new reloader.
