stinsonbeach Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Usually a 19/2011 shooter but bought this XD Tactical .45 a while back. Want to shoot my target loads but need new slide/return spring. Can't find a 3/8" so I'm going to clip some coils. Any "expertise" out there? Question 2: seems it doesn't like my SWC so what do you recommend? RN? RNFP? etc., no HP's!!! Thank you. -jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Springer can help you with the spring problem, I too found that reduced power springs were not as available for these as some of the other brands. None of my guns will feed SWC with 100% reliability but any type of RN, RNFP or HP's will go through them like butter through a goose.

Not fun! ...but now I'll go change out the dies & hope the new spring I ordered will fit & everything'll work as planned! My favorite saying: "Plans are what the Fates allow to keep themselves amused"!!! What's your AOL w/ RNFP? Thanks for your help - I think you've taken care of my problems. Will let you know. -jb Edited May 10, 2015 by stinsonbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 For most RNFP I find that 1.240 runs through the magazines and feeds well in this particular brand of gun. You can go longer or shorter but this is what I settled on and it hasn't let me down yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it. Better get to the loading bench & crank out some RNFP for Sat's match! Again, thank you... -jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
