SWprotected Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 lacivilian, yes it was on transitions and yes the weight difference was the reason. I shot the Atlas for about 3 months and just decided I was already ahead with the older gun so stick with what works best for me. Yes in time I may have been able to get there but if I spent the same amount of effort with the gun I was already shooting I figured I would be still further ahead. If I had never used a lighter gun I would not have known the difference. Open is very subjective it is personal to each shooter I know others who love the heavier guns.

falconpilot Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Any of you guys running Sil. in your Chaos? I must have a really fast barrel as Adam recommends 7.6-7.9 grs..that makes about 180pf in my gun..7.2 runs 1375 or so with 124 MG...I started with 7.2 Autocomp at about 1400 making 173pf or so..loved the dot lift and pulse of this load...not really sure about the Sil....main thing is it's the dirtiest crap I've ever run!

bigbob21 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I’m running things a little different...I tried sill and CFE with 124s... all okHS6 seems to be a tiny bit harsher but the dot never travels more than half way up the glass.I prefer HS6.Recently tried 115s and I’m really liking them.Again, it hits a tiny bit harder in the hand, comparing 170pf 124s to 170pf with 115s, but the dot returns even faster to point of origin and I can call my shots better.Going to stick to 115s for the rest of the year.On a side note... I called Adam and sent in my gun for trigger and mag upgrades about 2 weeks ago and mentioned I use HS6. He said it’s fine, a bit dirty, and that he might be switching to hs6 soon as his training partner wants to make the switch and they do large bulk orders and use the same press.

tcazes Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 only issue i have is when i dont fully seat them (more focused on not spilling powder than seating fully lol) i am hoping and praying for the day when federal spp come back in stock.

SeattleDude Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 So I have been running Silhouette in my Chaos 7.6gr with 124gr PD JHP at 1.169 for about 171pf One complain is I get gun full of what looks like yellow specs, like sand look. Everywhere, Just nasty. Is it worth trying CFE Pistol, or HS-6 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcazes Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hs6 is usually popular. I prefer autocomp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleDude Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I still have 6lb of Silhouette..... But will buy lb of HS-6 and CFE to play with later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This...the yellow specs are everywhere after just a few rounds..I'm going back to Autocomp though it does appear that I have a fast barrel as 7.0 AC with 124MG is giving me 1390fps average..

That's normal speed. I run 7.1 and load to 1.165-1.169 with mixed brass and 7.0 at 1.169 with starline (Starline is faster for whatever reason) The yellow specs are incomplete burn powder. Yet another reason to stay with wac lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcazes Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Yep brand new starline. For big matches where it REALLY counts to have your equipment run I always run new brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANFARM Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 New Chaos arrived last night...beyond excited. Initial impressions: damn nice!!....fit and finish are excellent, slide tight and smooth as silk...got the short blue trigger..seems crisp. Side note ...The Leupold Delta Point Point Pro on my old Trubor is definitely not working properly...it's a pain to remove this and return for repair......excellent timing I guess. It;s a sad state when you have test ammo loaded months before your pistol arrives....lol..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedevil008 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 So for anyone who has not held one yet, here's a quick summary of my friend's thoughts. He has two or three pistols built from a local smith that are absolutely gorgeous, great fit and finish, and they run flawlessly. I was going to get one from him, but the smith stopped building. After I eventually settled on the Chaos, my friend was handling it and was instantly sold. He said the fit and finish is a work of art, the trigger is perfect, and it obviously shoots beautifully. He's currently selling some other things to make room for a Chaos. Going up against several Open GM's and M's this weekend at a local 8-stage match, so we shall see how the gun and I hold up! Gunning for a match win, but I'm still fairly new to the open game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
