Fowlmouths Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Before I start changing everything I'm going to have to rechrono and work a new load. My load was fine in other 2011's but I think this AET barrel is stealing some of the energy. I won't know until I chrono but it feels a little weak. Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk You might be surprised. My apeiro is 10-15 fps faster than my friends edge with the same loads.Chrono'd today. My loads that are about 170 on my other gun is about 168pf through the apeiro. Pretty close to the floor! But definitely good enough for practice ammo........Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk What load and bullet combo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3djedi Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I tried precision coated 185's today loaded long 1.180" although very smokey they were great with accuracy. Just as good as the jacketed MG's. They seem to kick harder than plated or jacketed though....

Fowlmouths Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The coated bullets don't need as much powder. You will need to chrono them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Right. I figured they would be close since my usual loads are 4.5g TG @ 1.135" and I loaded the coated to 1.180"........ I will definitely chrono before I settle on anything..... Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtaylor996 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I just tested 180 BBI at 1.200" and got 173pf at 4.5gr titegroup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Ok I've settled on 11lb recoil spring and 17lb main spring. If anybody cares. Lol Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoracer Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I use a 10# variable rate spring in my STI 9x23mm open gun and it shoots 175 PF fine. There was an old gentleman (85) in our club who was a long time shooter and he had an STI open gun in 9mm he loaded down so far he had to use a 6# spring in it. Still ran fine.
