RangerTrace Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 A couple months ago I ordered this pistol from Freedom Gunworks to get back into Limited Major. I kept the build pretty close to my IDPA pistol to make it easier to transition between the two sports. I should have it in my hands on Friday. If it looks as good in person and it does in the photo, I'm gonna be very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Well, my transition to non-SV pistols continues to expand my reloading knowledge/experience. While my long time SV load of a 180 grain Zero TMJ, over 5.4 grains of N320 to 1.20" will shoot, it's too long. I had already loaded up a copy of AAA .40 long which was the same bullet, over 5.0 grains of N320 to 1.180. That too was a little long and even though it would pass the Dillon case gauge, I need to add a little bit of crimp to pass the plunk test. So for the FGW Limited gun the magic numbers appear to be 1.170" with a .419" crimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimberacp Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 180 gr Zero bullets at 1.170 - 1.180 OAL .420 - .421 crimp. whatever powder you use use the barrel chamber for your gauge, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send out the barrel to Beven Grams to ream them for longer ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking FGW Edited January 23, 2018 by lppd4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
