Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. I loaded up some 155gr swc from an MP mold, powder coated with no lube groove located on-top of silhouette and hs-6. Both are working well just getting enough powder to make PF
  2. I recently recieved an older Tripp Research 2011 frame, and realized after that it is a non ramped frame. Being an open gun shooter mostly, I'm used to seeing a ramped barrel build. So my question is, if you were to build off this frame what direction would you go? Mill it for a Wilson Nowlin barrel, or make a limited style gun with a non ramped barrel?
  3. Thank you zzt for the advice. I've worked up a couple loads that I'm going to Chrono this weekend. Much appreciated!
  4. That sounds like a direction I may be headed. I just bought a 155gr swc mold from M&P. No lube groove so I can powder coat.
  5. I recently acquired a 45 ACP open gun, with a 2 port comp (soon to be 3) and looking to see what people have used in the past for loads. I have always shot 9mm major out of my open guns so this is a little new. I have 200gr jacketed projectiles, as well as a variety of cast molds. I'm open to most powders as well
  6. Thanks for the information folks. Being here in Canada ordering a short block kit would be ideal but hard to do. Is there a chart or reference in rail dimensions vs slide types?
  7. So I started looking through the safe and I have an older Tripp research 2011 currently built as a 38 super open gun, that is in desperate need of some love. The colt 80 series slide is loose and cracked and someone took a grinder to the barrel to remove the feed ramp. The frame it's self is in good shape, but the catch is it is not a ramped frame. (Hence the grinder work on the barrel). If you folks had this to build from, would you keep it as an open gun with an un-ramped barrel or would you build something else with it?
  8. So I have acquired my self a vintage 45 ACP open gun. Complete with a 2 port comp and tasco built on a Colt series 80 frame. I usually shoot IPSC open division up here in Canada and I'm familiar with loading for an open gun. My question is regarding projectiles when it comes to 45 ACP open guns. I have a 200gr swc mold that I have shot 10s of thousands of, a 185gr hollow point mold and I do have a limited supply of 155gr SWC's. Is it worth running the 155's or is there very little difference compared to the 185's when loaded on a case of slow powder?
  9. Hey guys, I searched the forums with no luck so I thought I would ask the question here. I recently purchased an older open gun comprised of a Tripp research double stack lower and it came with 7 older generation 1 STI mags that were worse for wear. Most don't drop free from the DVC grips that I have on other guns or other guns that i have tried. With some massaging I've gotten 4 out of 7 half ass haha but the tubes seem to not wanna hold shape. So my question is, is there a point where you just replace the tubes? Or are tubes supposed to be a life long part? The newer gen 2 mags I have seem to work well..
  10. What poundage of recoil spring are you running?
  11. Folks, I recently started building up new loads for .45 ACP to shoot IPSC here in Canada. I shoot standard division (170 PF) major out of a 2011 edge. I have always loaded 200gr plated over 5.3 gr of W231. This load shoots well in the gun, smooth and soft ans just makes PF. so I have been wanting to build up a safer load. Recently I have tried a 230gr rn lead, powder coated on top of 4gr of Clay's. This load felt snappier and was flinging brass about 12 feet away. I have not had a chance to Chrono yet but is this normal? Or is this load a bit hotter then my recoil spring can handle?
  12. That makes sense now, thank you! I honestly didn't know about the percentage differences untill recently, especially with that.
  13. Yes Canada rules. You have to think in 10! Haha. What do you mean it's 75% lower?
  14. That's something I'm going to try this weekend. The other question I had for wheelguners, what's the comparison in hitfactor between a revolver and let's say an IPSC standard gun?
