Guest Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 "AA7 11.5g w 115" I'd be surprised if you weren't making major with that load, especially since I don't believe your barrel has any holes. I use 11.2g w /115 gr bullets @ 1.235"(JHP) - 1.250"(fmj) in a gun with three big ports and get around 170pf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Ya. I'm pretty sure that it will be maj. No holes in the barrel. The old pf super guys said 11.8g Aa#7 under a 115. I can really understand why too! It's soooo soft! I just need to chrono it to be positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 With no barrel holes 10.5gn 3n38 with 115gn pill should comfortably make major. Might even get down to 10.2 or so. 38 super right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Beer. This is what very little data I was able to collect the other day b4 it was just too dark to do anything. 5 shot strings. 3 of 5 recorded for most. 124 xtreme cci #400 Hs-7 9.0g avg 1319 pf 163.5 Hs-7 9.5g avg 1339 pf 166 Hs-7 10g avg 1438 pf 178 WAC 124 CCI 400SRP 6.5g avg 1283 pf 159 7g. Avg 1324 pf 164 7.5g avg 1453 pf 180 3n38 115 cci 400 srp 10.0g avg 1482 pf 171 10.5g avg 1566 pf 180 I could back it down to the 10.2 level. I want to load some up around 10.0 and see how it runs vs the 10.5 When I loaded 10.5 I thought 10g wouldn't cycle with a 10lb spring. I thought I had a 10lb spring in. I didnt... It was the spring that was in the gun when I got it 3rd or 4th hand. So I'm thinking around 15lb. So only really high pf loads would cycle it at all. Now that I have a 10lb spring as well as the 8lb spring I will load and chrono some lighter loads and see how they shoot. Compare springs as well. Go from there.

cvincent Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Kneeling atlas Hooked me up with a hunter upper, .40 cal. This thing ought to be the new hotness. I don't know if it's the *thumb rest [generic]* or what, but my limited has significantly less recoil than my stock 2 in .40 with the same major load. The 6" upper might be like a sub minor 9mm. Can't wait to test it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited May 9, 2015 by cvincent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Looks great! I loved the my hunter. I will have one again some day. It's crazy soft. Even with stout 10mm loads it was soft shooting! The set up looks great too. I live the two tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAL is 1.130. I tried 3.8 grains of w231 and while it does make major it is not nearly as accurate as the longshot load. I think it has to do with the slower burn rate which favors the longer 6 inch barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 No, it was a smith CHA-LEE turned me on to in CO: Rick Hebert. He turns parts around really quickly, Rich does great work, but has really long turnaround times. I have three slides from Rick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmbaccolyte Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Atlas is just working harder than we are. My grandfather used to say, "There's no rest for the wicked". Then he would continue and say, "So there's no rest for us either or the wicked will out work us." Not to imply Atlas is a bad guy, just that most of us need to work harder to earn more money and buy more really cool pistols, train more and load more ammo to shoot more. If it was easy then everyone would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Well I finally have my identical twins I've wanted!!! Time to go throw few hundred rounds thru the new one today and break it in and test for its first match tomorrow:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 So you're still digging those grips, Gump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Yes, very much so. They just seem to be the perfect width or at least for my hands. The EG grips may be a tad more grippy but even with being hot and hands sweat I feel these won't slip out my hands and course I use liquid grip. No issues of any extra dirt or anything cuz of the holes either. For $85 bucks I think they're great. On a side note I did a polish and trigger job after I got it yesterday evening. Changed springs, firing pin, etc etc and went and got sighted in this morning. DA is around 6.5# and SA is around 2.75#, ran 250 rounds of practice ammo which didn't case gauge my Hundo perfectly and gun ran flawless using 8# long slide recoil spring (only extra recoil springs I had were long slides). Was very happy I didn't have any FTF like I did when first got Stock III's Edited June 6, 2015 by bayougump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetorian97 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) I still cant get over the openness of them. Here in the Northwest fine dust getting kicked up is a big deal. On a 10 stage day our guns cant get pretty gritty.

Open1215 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Couldn't you put a small piece of phone screen protector over the back and cut to match the grip. No dirt then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabodah Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Couldn't you put a small piece of phone screen protector over the back and cut to match the grip. No dirt then. I would consider filling them 2/3 of the way with a clear epoxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consider filling them 2/3 of the way with a clear epoxy. As long as it stays clear. If it turns yellow after a little time, it would make the gun look much worse, IMO.
