TANFARM Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Starting out my learning 9mm Trubor. Attempting to use up some of my supply of N320and Blue Bullet 147RM by starting off with minor....any experiences with recoil springs for these lighter loads. Suggested we’re 6/7 lb. variable springs....any thoughts?? Thanks....this will be and interesting experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 My TruBor 9mm was pretty good with factory ammo if the gun was Very Clean and Dripping Wet ....., with the standard 10 lb spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent1k1 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I run an 8 in my open gun for minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackntucson Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) I also run an 8lb spring in mine for minor, I should add I bought mine new in the bag and it came with an 8lb spring and a standard guide rod ,not the recoil master.

stardust tommy Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 why shoot 147gr and 320? ( large stock?) if you want to shoot minor N350 (7.2gr) or Power pistol (7.2gr) are great powders and little recoil with 115gr FMJ bullets... and the comp is working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANFARM Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Tommy....huge stock of both.....used for Limited Minor. Will try to use some up, then experiment with 9mm Major and try to sell some off. Im cheap.....apparently an oxymoron for Open class.....lol. So no one has experience with 6 lb. or 7lb. Variable springs in minor?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I've run a lot of 7lbs springs your gun needs to be built with a smooth slide to frame fit for it to pick up to rounds on a fully loaded mag with a 6 or 7 lbs spring. So if it doesn't run at first with minor you might find down loading your mags might help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscott Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I run an 8# Wolff variable in my Trubor. 7# just wasn’t reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theWacoKid Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I start at 6# with light loads in an open gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teros135 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) I've been shooting 7# in my .38sc for a couple of years, 8# in my 9 major. Both 170-172 PF. Weights selected for best dot control. No problems with either. Edited December 29, 2017 by teros135 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Hello: I can use an 8lb ISMI recoil spring for major or minor. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncman Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I have an 8lb Wolfe variable in my 9major. Will only cycle minor ammo if it is about 130-135 pf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANFARM Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Forgot to ask.......are any of you all using a Shock Buffer in these Trubor minor rounds ?.......running them in my Atlas Titan in 9mm and seems to work well............thanks....

Aircooled6racer Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hello: No shock buffs in any of my pistols. Just another thing to mess up. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnkill Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 i run an 8lb wolf variable, tried a 7 but had a few failure to go into battery, so back to the 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDL Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I can run factory " white box " and remington 115s with the Variable 7# using a Shock Buffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDL Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Also the Shock Buffer with Major PF doesn't get beat up. I think the comp takes out a lot of energy from the slide that would be there in a limited 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antny Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 In my 9MM trubor which I use for steel I have an 8# wolf spring, no Shock buffs, (STI says not to use) and loading 5.3 Gr of N340. I find the gun needs to be well oiled to run right and it hates the cold weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalRex Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 8# Wolff in my 9mm Trubor runs both major and minor loads without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
