It irritates me that they put up lots of 1k at .15 per round but you cannot get the 3k lots that go for .10 a round even when you buy 3 lots of 1k....kind of gougish if you ask me....I know my reloader has had it out with them and is now moving over to Precision Delta

I have recently lost 35 pounds, but there's no scale in my house....I always weigh at work I weighed it originally on a buddy's analog meat scale. I just bought a digital scale from BB&B and weighed it again. It took so long because I really didn't have time to go to BB&B and I'll be damned if I was going to send my wife....I try to keep her out of those kind of places...her eyes roll back in her head and she goes into this kind of trance and money becomes no object...."must buy more useless kitchen junk"......

Ok...finally went and bought a new scale....it weighs 40.5 ounces empty and 42.5 with and empty mag inserted That's more better!

I fixed that problem for him...got him a BladeTech

The old (70+) guys at our club finish last because they're slower, but they NEVER have a Mike and cuss themselves when they get a Charlie. I tell them I want to be alive at their age let alone shooting as well as they do.

Well hell...I have production loads of 4.2 TG on 124s, but they're fmjs....I could run same load with CMJs and I'm running 7.0 Autocomp now for majorHow bad is fmjs for the comp? Your gun runs reliably on the TG recipe?

So if you had a different top end with a 2-4 port comp you could just swap it out and go shoot steel? Would the POI change?

Theoretically that works, but it frequently doesn't in practice. I once tried running 95gr .380 bullets with the same 6.8gr of Autocomp that I use for my 124gr 9 Major loads. Theoretically it should have worked, but in reality I had stovepipes because there wasn't enough pressure to cycle the slide reliably, even with a reduced spring weight. What I have been doing recently is running 115gr plated bullets with either a reduced Autocomp load, or Win 231/HP-38. I try to make the PF around 140. Technically it's Minor PF, but it's still strong enough to assure reliable feeding, even without changing my spring. It doesn't really affect my results. I'm still faster than everyone at our range except our two Master class shooters, (I'm a B.) Thanks...good info....

Also watch the classifieds on USPSA

There is a guy on USPSA classifieds selling one...pm him....he has a lot of knowledge on the subject

Well I know the reverse does...I'm using the one I bought for the 4.5 with my 5.25

I'll give it a try.....thanks guys

Who cares? Shoot and have fun! Camo is everywhere these days. Shooting shirts are getting more popular as the price comes down and availability increases. People who worry about what you wear need to get a life. I'm a multiple offender....camo shorts, shooting shirt, and cleats....

With no changes to the gun?

So I have a 9 major open Glock with the following specs: G17, Zev fulcrum trigger, kkm barrel, Sjc magwell, Sjc Cmore mount, Sjc mag release, Sjc slide racker, cmore optic, Sjc 11 port comp I would like to shoot it at local steel matches but with minor 9 ammo Do I need another slide/barrel/comp with appropriate springs to swap out or is a simple spring change with the current setup effective? Or just a barrel/comp and spring change with existing slide? I would think with that big comp, minor loads would not make it function as it should. I would guess a whole different top end would be the most convenient way to go. And which comp works best with minor? Thanks in advance.

I always had the scores out the same night. Match ends around 1:30... grab a bite to eat with the fellas and then I'd go home and get to work. Posted before bed time, manually entering.

+1

My 5.25 seems to be more accurate than the 4.5 I had...no experimental test data to back that up with, just my experiences

The parallax on that Hunter mount has to be awful

The previous owner sent some rounds he had made with this recipe...It was a lot softer than I had predicted Gonna compare it to the Autocomp recipe Thanks

Thanks dude!

Some controversy re: using FMJ in open guns at 9mm major levels.My experience is that after shooting a few thousand of them in my TruBor, my comp was clogged - guess if I had devoted some time to spraying it before I shot it and cleaning it after I finished, I may not have had a problem. BUT, lot easier to just use JHP's rather than FMJ in 9mm major. Great advice, thanks

Perfect! Thanks!

So far: Glock load...124gr MG FMJ 1) 8.5 HS6 at 1.16....seems too long to me 2) 6.7 - 7.2 gr WAC at 1.135 3) 7.2-7.6 Silhouette at 1.14

The magazine wasn't even in the gun
