And shooting about 170 power factor

So as the title says my trojan 45 is not locking back on the empty mag consistently. The mags are Wilson etm, I have not replaced the springs in 2 years. I also just installed a 21 pound main spring.

I’ll second AHI. When I got a chrono the spread was wild. If I sort brass the spread gets much closer, I blame the thickness of the different manufacturers.

Did sti make a 9mm trojan with a horse head roll mark?

Has anyone ever had one of these? I’ve got a few old Trojans how would this compare, as far as quality?

I did, the primer pockets were not clean.

Do SS pins wear out for cleaning brass? I've cleaned about 50 gallons of brass with these pins and it is taking longer it seems to clean the brass.

Neither of those are encouraging

Does anyone have one of these? How do you like it?

My mistake it’s accurate 2230. Now they have Imr 4198 and accurate 2200 as well. I’ve got a pound of 2200 I’ll be testing it Sunday.

Nope, just trying to get away from high primers.

I have an 8 pound jug or tac and an 8 pound jug of 2330 that I can buy. Which one should it be? I’m shooting mostly hornaday 55 fmjbt bullets out of a bolt gun but I want them to work in my stock AR as well.

Does anyone “uniform “ the primer pockets in 45 brass to make it easier to seat the primer? I have to push pretty hard on my 650 to make sure they are in.

How much difference would expect between 125s and 115s I’m in a position to buy a bunch of them reasonably. I shoot them in uspsa matches.

I meant recoil for uspsa shooting.

I know this has probably been hashed out before but a search didn’t help that much. Could you tell me how much difference there is in major? Or show me where the treads are.

How about 115s compared to 147s? I’ve been loading 147s but I’m in a position to buy a lot 115 coated for a really good price. So….. if it’s not that big of a deal I’ll probably buy them. I don’t have time to test or I would, the deal won’t be here long.

Thanks Chuck S I’ll start cutting, the worst thing happens I buy new 11 coil springs.

I know this has been hashed out before, but I bought 13 coil springs for my gen 1 sti 40 mags according to the brazos website without seeing what they had in them. Short version is I was loading 20 with no problem, now 20 is super tight. My question is can I cut coils off or should I just buy new ones?

Has anyone worked up a 40 cal load with these? I know they are supposed to be hard, but I’m not worried about the executive setting them off.

Are they really the same? Just went through alliants load data and didn’t see clay dot in 45 auto. I know it’s supposed to replicate clays according to the advertisement. But before I blow up my gun, or my head up, does anyone have experience?

Has anyone had a good results using unique under 230 grain coated lead for 170 power factor uspsa loads?

How does this powder work in 9minor,40 major and 45acp for uspsa shooting? I think I can get a couple of kegs and in the current supply environment I’m looking at options.

Does anyone use this, if so what size works best?

I have 5 gallons of 5.56 range brass I’m working on. Does anyone have one of these? I’m trying to avoid the 500 plus to get a Dillon setup and still have some speed. Looking for reviews.
