Seth Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Bolen with SV tubes / Grams with STI tubes. The Bolens flip if you over stuff STI tubes with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan13 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I am currently using Bolen in STI tubes (126) and am very happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Didn't Dawson have some followers? I couldn't find them on the website the other day. I want to change mine just to see if I get a few more rounds...or if they'll make what my tubes do already easier to reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxshooter Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Gram's springs and followers in SV and STI tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fng Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I use STI tubes, and have been very happy with Grams springs and followers. Grams have a little more room than stock STI, though the Bolens leave more room in the mag than the Grams. Grams have been more reliable for me than the Bolens.

Pat Miles Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Bolen with SV tubes / Grams with STI tubes. The Bolens flip if you over stuff STI tubes with them. I use the same combo's. I'll be switching to Bolens as soon as I massage the caliber indent ribs on my STI's. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I use the Dawson Follower in 40 it has been the most reliable for me in STI mags with Dawson +1 SNL pads, and the stock STI springs. (140 mm mags). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Hello: You can use Bolen followers and springs in STI mags if the bodies are not too wide. The Grams follower and spring work well in the STI tubes but the spring gets weak quickly. In the 40 STI mags I like the Dawson followers and ISMI springs best. For the SVI mags the old style one with no script I use Bolen followers and springs in the 40 and 9mm/38 tubes. As for base pads pick one and check the gauge to make sure it fits I forgot to add for IDPA use either the stock STI or SVI followers and ISMI springs or 140mm STI springs in the 126mm mags.

MoNsTeR Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Can't go wrong with the Grams. The Bolens might be better, but Grams work every time. I have them in 5 Limited and 11 Open mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cave_canem Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I am a +1 for the Grams springs and followers. I am using them in my Open and Limited mags (38 Sup and 40) and am very happy with them. I have tried the STI followers along with Arredondo and much prefer the Grams. Dawson +1 base pads also...

oak hill Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Thanks for all the replies. I am not surprised by so many that are pleased with Gramms, just always thought there might be another option out there that is as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
