  1. I get a 1" group with my NC barrel and 69gr Stillwood Ammo One of Jeremy's shooters built a gun at the beginning of last year that shot one hole @ 100 and very close to 1/2" @ 200 with his 69 SMK reloads. I'm not sure what his exact load was but I know it was with Varget. It shot so well @ 100 that I thought he only hit the paper once while looking through the spotting scope. That's what I was hoping to hear. I am using AA2230 w/ my 55 FMJs and need to work up a load on my 69g SMKs. I hope I can achieve what you have mentioned above w/ my AA2230, if not, I'll try to find some varget and work something up with that. Thanks for the info.
  2. This is the direction I'm leaning towards. My 115gr 9mm reloads are on the lighter side anyways and agree that with these loads, even with some of the thinner grips that have cracked w/ .40s, it seems like it would be harder to crack them with the lighter 9mm rounds.
  3. I am looking at having a 9mm 2011 built up to be used as my 3 gun pistol. This will be my first 2011 so I am pretty new to all things 2011. The grips the smith uses are PTs. I am looking at the metal grips and am trying to decide on the aluminum vs steel grips. My concern is the weight of the steel with a loaded mag and running around a stage with the pistol in the holster with all that weight in the grip of the gun. I've only held, not shot, the two grips side by side and the aluminum feels significantly lighter. I am going Wednesday to shoot both to see what I like better but I am just thinking of 3gun stages like at the Fallen Brethren where the pistol may be the last gun used and you have to cover some good distance at a brisk pace from the beginning to the end of the stage and you have the extra weight of the steel grip flopping around in the holster. Any downside to an aluminum grip in a 9mm 2011? I've heard of cracking issues but haven't seen any with the PTs (from what I have read). Anything advice or suggestions would be appreciated before I shoot them both this week. Thanks! Nick
  4. I'm glad to see this review. I've been looking at re-barreling my 3 gun rifle with either the Nordic or the JP 18" barrel. I think I know which one I am going to go with now. Thanks for the write up on this Pat. Anyone have any reports on some 69gr SMKs through it? Nick
  5. I checked the website and its still listed for tomorrow. this must be nick "brass whore" czar Guilty as charged!
  6. I'm in for Saturday. Looks like less of a chance of rain from what I saw on the forecast today.
  7. This will be my first major as well, I'm really looking forward to it and glad to hear it is so well received.
  8. I registered for this today. Looks like a fun match and its in Cresson about 15 minutes from my house in Granbury, even better. Nick
  9. I'm going to be camping out for this w/ my RV @ Fort Richardson State Park which is about 9 miles away in Jacksboro if anyone else is looking for a place to bring their RV. Nick
  10. Very interested in this match. Trying to plan it out, coming from Houston. Is there stuff for the wife and kiddo to do in Marble Falls during the day?
