It's hard to see the gun in that video, are you getting less recoil with the 165's? better sight tracking? I was tempted to order some 155's to try but want to settle on the 180 load first.

waktasz Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Yea, bad camera angle, sorry. It seems snappier and that I can get back on target faster. The 180 is a little floppy feeling, although dead soft. I have POV video from a classifier match today so I'll compared recoil impulse side by side. Maybe slow-mo.

3djedi Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) I'm thinking about doing this with a limited pro in .40 minor. The idea being I could use it for USPSA production and IDPA ESP. Would the mags be interchangeable between the elite limited and the limited pro? Edited August 3, 2014 by 3djedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpa5oh Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ibejiheads does have a 140 grain .40 listed on their website...and at the price listed it's as economical as 9mm. Looks like a hockey puck - no idea how stable that would fly through the air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out today the load I was shooting with teh 165s makes about 145pf compared to 129 pf for the 180 load I was using. And I still like the 165s better. I just need to dial it back a few tenths.

r0kawn Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thinking I'm going to try some 165's. After some regular practice with the 180's @ 130pf, moving targets are requiring considerable lead compared to what I'm used to in my limited gun and 3gun 9mm stuff. The 180's are averaging 170-200fps slower than my other loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the mags be interchangeable between the elite limited and the limited pro? Yes , I have both and they are interchangeable. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basman Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Heading to the range today to chrono some MG 180gr. report to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaSeeker Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Extreme 180gr plated 3.2gr Bullseye. Softer than 147gr over TiteGroup. For moving targets I would go to 9mm for the velocity advantage. No recoil advantage in using 40 past 850fps. You may also find that 147gr at 950fps has less drop at 35-50yd targets.

basman Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Well, I never made it to the range to get those loads choreographed! Life gets in the way sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still like the 165s better. I just need to dial it back a few tenths. Still shooting the 165's instead of the 180? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) I bounce back and forth enough now that I don't think it really matters. The 180s are ultimately a tiny bit softer but the 165s have a snappier feel. I went back and tested some new 165s again but again used a couple tenths too much powder and ended up at about 145pf.

eboadway Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 LGS just got a .40 in, $869. Had to resist! Just got my Shadow Target the way I like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 That's pretty good for a new one.I paid $900something for mine new and I was happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnit Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) $869 and $900 are good prices . There's a 9mm Limited on GunBroker right now and the guy wants $1399.00 Seems like the prices are going up. Or maybe it's just one person trying to shoot for the moon.

johnbu Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Seems like the supply goes up and prices are good, supply dries up and a few try to fund trips to Fiji! I hope the bring in a steady stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnit Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 The prices for the Limited or Stock Tanfo's in .40 or 10mm seem to have leveled off, they are currently around. It's just the 9mm that everyone wants for either Production or even some are using in 3 gun now. Eventually the shipments will catch up with demand. Whenever that is.

BeerBaron Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 good choice. I have 2 shadows and a stock 2 and love both for different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Anyone tried the same thing in 45? How would a 130-140pf .45 be in a stock II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think it would shoot great. I tricked out a Stock 1 in .45 but never got a chance to run it unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
