Its hard to beat the Trojan in that price range.
and go .40 The same mags as recommened above. 45 brass is getting pretty expensive-not to mention bullet cost.
-
I tried a lot of powders with 38SC and 3N38 always won. Depending on the gun configuration (barrel holes), HS6 works dang good also.

I got 8 lbs of that stuff,and don't know what to do with it.I dolt load 45's much any more.Its to fast for 40's and 38
N310 is great for 40 with 200gn. Send me the 8Lbs

Larry, I have a camera on my phone. What bullets do you have? Payment in advance please!
Thanks Buddy--your da man! I'll put you on the bottom of the list.
I got a bunch of those nerf bullets for ya. -
Ain't there a mountain dew car no more?I think Budweiser is more popular among the NASCAR contingent.
The Dew is on a diet and dropping NASCAR weight.

Anybody in the Dayton Ohio area take professional quality pictures of cars, motorcycles, etc and may be barter for some bullets, brass, or cash ?
Black cars are really hard to shoot well! -

124 round nose (with right powder) is just as, or softer than 147 loads.
If you're loading range plinkers, sure. But if you have to make a PF, it's common knowledge that a heavier bullet with a faster powder will provide a softer recoil pulse.
First, I don't waste people's time by posting range plinking ammo stats. Waste of my time and yours.
I had every 9mm mag known to man and it was not any mag. I have been down your road before. May be I can save you a lot of frustration, try loading the 147 real short(adjust load accordingly) and you might get them to run. I still bet you will get FTF. 147 feed great in other type guns. I've used Bayou and they are great bullets.
I wish you the best of luck. Remember, you said 124 ran great.

I've used cases of MG 115 JHP and I can hit dimes off a bench at 18 yards. Accuracy is 99% barrel. For example, KKM designs their 9mm for 115 bullets. Why, because they feel most of their customers will use 115 off the shelf ammo. It is the twist rate of the barrel that affects accuracy of a particular bullet.
I have found you need a bit more powder to achieve the same FPS with any MG bullet.
-
I just went through the same headache. 1911 SS 9MM are a PITA!!!!!!! BUT once you find the problem they run great.
Remember a 1911 was designed for round nose 45 military ball bullets. If your barrel has a feed ramp, load short and use round nose bullets.
124 round nose (with right powder) is just as, or softer than 147 loads. Cheaper also!

As you can see, you get a lot of views. It really depends on "your" budget. Forget lead bullets--to much smoke and lead in the air.
If money is no object--Montana Gold. I have used all the bullets mentioned. Copper Jacketed are easier to reload than plated or coated. If you go coated, Bayou is very good. I got a great price break on X-treme plated and they rock. One note: We are talking Minor or 40 minor or major.
For open--Montana Gold.

I chose between extreme and berry's and find the extreme to be better bullets and cheaper.
But it depends on the gun.....
I agree.

Smartass mode on..... Production is the Holy Grail of USPSA.
The old argument that Production is "off-the-shelf" is fading. We now have off-the-shelf M&P with tiny red dots for sights.
I think you'll be hardpressed to get a radical change like this pushed through no matter how many folks say they would shot optics.
-
The muzzle blast, high operating pressures and expense of Open are not for me.
This is a completely bogus argument, unless you are competing at the grandmaster level.
Whatever gear you choose to run, you will be classified, and competing with others at your performance level.
Might not be bogus to him......

Hello all,
I'm new to the forums and have a question I can't find and answer for. Can I use my duty gun with weapon mounted light (Glock 22) in my duty holster (Safariland 6360 ALS) at Rockcastle 3gun this year? I've searched the net for two days and found the LE exception for level 1 matches and read the posts here but still not clear on the answer. Can anyone help a brother out here?
Thanks!
The RM or Match Director for that match can advise you. Welcome to Ohio.

I think you ought to send an email to X-treme.... They will answer pretty quick... Always ask the source.

Never say never.

Browsing armslist, I found a brass seller in Aniston, Alabama selling once fire range brass, 3k for 105 shipped. I figured with all the help I have received on these boards I would post my hot links to return the favor.
Larry - the ad says $40/K, but I contacted him and he is shipping for $35/K.
Add now says $40 for 1000. No mention of shipping costs. This is uncleaned!
Good info! Thanks

Ok, so no to magmun small pistol primers, thanks Sarge. As for the power factor would one of you guys happen to have a post tagged that explains how the power factor works with different primers?
Thanks
Different primers are not going to affect PF enough to worry about. Your not going to load to exactly 165 anyway. Powder has the greatest affect on PF. Most USPSA open shooters use SRP. I have used SRP for 6 years and 99% we're WInchester.

Larry - the cutter specified with the racker makes the cut VERY tight. So much that the instructions tell you how to widen the dovetail ever so slightly (0.005" increments, I believe). I can't imagine using a cutter smaller than called for to begin with.
I know I really liked it. I sold the MatchMaster it was on though.

Thanks. May be he upgraded the instructions or I don't understand machine language. Probably the latter. :-)

Has anyone tried the new Hodgdon web page? Evidently it was revised in the past couple of days and I had considerable trouble trying to pull up some pistol data. The new selections aren't bad at first glance but the printing function is completely different and not anything like in the past. Sometimes new and improved isn't.
The loading data is definitely presented ion a different format. There is a button at the bottom of the page the allows you to email the data
Did you try that for printing?

Does Hodgdon manufacturer any powder?
Tom
Why can’t I find Hodgdon powders?
As you have seen, ammunition and reloading components – including all Hodgdon powders – are hard to find. Dealer shelves that used to hold cans of powder are empty. Here are answers to your questions straight from Hodgdon.
Q: Are you still making powders?
A: We are shipping more powder this year than we shipped last year. We are shipping as fast as the powder is available. The real problem why you are seeing empty shelves is demand. The demand for powder (and all ammunition and components) is far greater than the supply from the manufacturers. We just cannot make enough to feed this demand right now. No one wants to ship more during this time than we do.
Q: Are you still in business?
A: Yes, Hodgdon is here for the long haul. We are doing everything we can to supply our powders. Dealer’s shelves are empty because powders are being purchased as soon as they arrive at the Dealer’s stores.
Q: What is causing this high demand?
A: The current political climate can have the regulatory consequence of impacting law abiding, hard working shooters and hunters. This has caused extremely high demand on all shooting industry products resulting in empty shelves, long back-orders, and on-line auction sites asking exaggerated prices.
Q: I have seen/heard many rumors and conjecture on the cause of this powder shortage. A: If you do not hear it from Hodgdon Powder Company please don’t believe it.
Q: Is the shortage of reloading powder being caused by Hodgdon shipping their powder to the ammunition manufacturing companies?
A: No. While we do sell to some ammunition manufacturing companies, we continue to sell over 80% of our powder to handloaders just like you. Hodgdon has always been committed to the individual handloader.
Q: When will I start to see more powder on Dealer shelves?
A: This level of demand will not last forever. As soon as demand slows a little we will start making headway into our backlog.

STI GM Slide Racker install without rechrome?
in Open Pistols
Posted
Had several sliderackers installed after the gun was hardchromed (GM or a trade). You now have exposed metal under the slide racker. Every time you clean the gun, clean the dovetail and you will be rust free. The cut could damage the chrome, but I have not seen one yet.
