UdoGER Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Welcome aboard. Are you reloading, yet? Thx Hi-Power Jack..yes i am reloading for all my guns scince 1990. I am just starting to work up a 9mmx19 round for my new 2011. This baby does not like the rounds i used to shoot in my Sphinx AT 2000 S. Also the reloading components, especialy the propellant i used to, Hodgdon HP38 and Titegroup, are not easy to get anymore in germany because of delivery problems. I am working up loads now with Vihtavouri Powders like 3N37 and N320. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdoGER Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Welcome to the forum, Udo! What type of matches do you have available to you in Germany? Hi Yeti, there are a vary of different matches depending upon the rules of the shooting organisation you are in. We do have also matches like IPSC and other dynamic shooting events. I like to shoot dynamic disziplines with my short guns und static long range shooting with my rifles. Just to explaine one of them what i use my revolver for is shooting in a match what is called Police Pistol One from our shooting organisation which is called BdMP e.V. This is a match which is shot from three different distances in three different stages. First stage is 25 Meters on a static target, you have 2 minutes to fire 12 rounds in precision manner including nessecary reloads. Next stage is 15 Meters on the same target, which ist turned away and then made visible for 3 seconds in that time you fire one shot and this 12 times. Last stage is 10 meters with the same setup as at 15 meters but you will fire two shots instead of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be intersting to get some history avout my carbine. I think i could get some information about it with help of the serial number but don´t know where to begin research.

Hi-Power Jack Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Welcome aboard. Are you reloading, yet? I am working up loads with Vihtavouri Powders like 3N37 and N320. I've never used the Vih powders, but keep reading here at BE about they are superior to the old powders I have been using, like WW231. You are fortunate to be able to purchase N320 - lots of Americans envy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a couple of sites to look at http://www.carbineclub.com/ (they don't have a lot of info online, but they have a lot of info stored on old fashioned paper and send out a good newsletter). And I think this is the most active of the forums http://forums.thecmp.org/forumdisplay.php?f=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
