635 PCSO Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 From the Front Sight mag this month it loks like all the revo shooters were using Hodgdon or Alliant. What is the popular load for IPSC? My guess is the top shooters are using similar loads since only 2 powders are being used. In the last two weekends I have tested a clays load and a bullseye load both pushing 230 grains of lead. I had pressure trouble with the clays load. I did not chrono the clays but I shronoed the Bullseye load just over powerfactor it was okay but nothing to write home about. Is it legal to shave some or all of the the hammer off in IPSC? I would like to grip higher but the hammer is getting in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdgun Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I use IMR 700x with 230 gr fmj. Gave me 170pf At A7 last year. This is from a 5" 625. Very soft shooting. As far as the hammer goes, I do believe you can bob the hammer. But I am not 100% on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokUk Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 For last year's Nordic open match, I borrowed a 686 with the hammer spur totally removed, so I assume it's legal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my revo's have the hammer spur removed...some might consider it gamey but why have something to snag on a shirt? It only seems "practical." They are also all DAO.

Tom Mainus Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 You can bob the hammer in USPSA revolver division. It is considered an asthetic move, it doesn't really enhance the performance of the gun. I was using straight clays in my revolver for years. One of the guys at the match this weekend had some N320 loaded up for his revolver. I think that I might be changing over to VV.

Carmoney Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 It's right there in the book--you can freely modify the hammer, sights, and cylinder latch. Bob away. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para45 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I am using 5.0 of VV320. I also use this in my Para P-14. This makes major for me in both guns. You may need to chrono each cylinder to know for sure. Hope this helps... Here is a small sample.... Revolver 625 4.9 714, 725, 787, 811, 715, 728 (first moon clip) 742, 754, 681, 690, 680, 681 (second moon clip) 5.0 v320 688, 763, 709 5.2 v320 761, 792, 786 5.4 v320 819, 814, 809 4.9 v320 (loaded up one more moon) 756, 776, 754, 711, 718 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
