Ordered 40lbs of CFE. I’ll buy good for almost a year before I have to worry about it again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now if you can magically produce primers I’ll be really impressed [emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks a lot for that. I haven’t been able to find any in a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Currently: open load 1,000 per lb Minor load 1,400 per lb Possible 3.5gr minor load 2,000 per lb Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not worried about the cost. I could switch from the MGs and save a lot. I’m more worried about stretching the powder used out because it’s so hard to find. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The coiled end will scratch the heck out of the rod. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely. Can’t be beat for the price. I put 20k thru mine and a buddy is still running it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep it’ll fit. Sometimes you have to bend the tail of the spring out slightly so it fits a bit better. 1911 guide rod is an almost perfect fit for the slide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You need a guide rod that is 1911 diameter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re-tagging myself seemed to have lost these posts

My current minor load shares components and powder with my major load. I haven't shot major in over a year and would like to possibly optimize my minor load. CO Tanfo Stock 2 original poly barrel I'm currently shooting : 1.1655 OAL 124gr Montana Gold 5.1gr of CFE 9mm (open load was same other than 7.1gr) Federal small pistol That puts me at 130~ PF Any ideas for a less weight clean burning powder? 5.1gr seems to be high to make minor, I have no complaints with the CFE other than it seems I use 40% more than others. Also, I've been told that coated lead bullets are not recommended for poly rifling barrels. Is it really so bad that I cant swap to the far cheaper coated over the MGs? Thanks guys

had to use the factory spring to prevent light strikes. I did my best to use the 14lb first. I lengthen the firing pin stroke by .015 by cutting the shoulder lengthen the set back by .020 removed the firing pin block polished the rails and pin channel swapped the pin spring with weaker Best I could get was 8/10 fired with various ammo. swapped to the factory and never had an issue. Shoots great.

Let’s hope the 14 is heavy enough Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use a 14lb hammer spring. In my gun the pull weight difference between a 10 and 14 was only .3 lb I’d rather have reliable ignition than a slightly lighter pull. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
