LuvDog Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I didn’t even know they made a razor version. I’ve run the Venom on my CO setup and it’s worked fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschroep Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Went for it based on the recommendation of limcat. It was between that and the DPP. Can I change it out later sure. Won't switch if it works fine tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschroep Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hopefully I'll have better luck. If not I'll just go to the DPP. I have on on my X5 so I guess I can just switch that out if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming (blindly) that it's better in some form. I say blindly assuming, because I really don't know much about it. It seems to be a different design since it has a side loading battery tray.

NOSHMJ Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 You will love your Limcat. I have a 2nd one that will hopefully be here next week. Do you have a load you plan on using for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschroep Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Going with what they recommended. MG 124 JHP with N340. Have some autocomp I could try but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSHMJ Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I use the 124 MG or everglades using autocomp with CCI small rifle primer. 1.165 OAL, and that gives me a 173PF. Smooth shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything razer makes is designed to break. Thats why their warrenty is so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSHMJ Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have a razor on my pcc with 10k plus rounds. I know its not as abusive as an open gun, but its held up really well for what Ive thrown at it. Still works like new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschroep Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Ok well you had one bad experience. I will certainly give my impression of it when I get some time behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSHMJ Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I wouldnt worry about the razor. I know a guy who uses one on his chaos and swears by it. I personally have DPP, but only because I liked the smaller dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBamBoo Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Rumor has it the the Razor and RTS2 are the same optic, just different names and button placement. They both have the same foot print. I have a Razor on my Ruger PCC and it is mounted on the barrel so it gets HOT and a bit mor beat up then being receiver mounted. Lots of rounds through it and so far no issues. I would run it till it quits. Have fun with the new rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSHMJ Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 By the look of your gun, you have the new "detent" slide racker instead of the old screw type. That is the one thing I dont care for on my Limcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugbyrat Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Funky looking. I love it. Here's hoping it shoots all A's for you. Can't wait to get one someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschroep Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) 9 major. Would you go with something other than 340? This was the autocomp load. 124gr Berrys Bullets 9mm Hollow Base Heavy Plate7.0 gr Winchester AutocompMixed Once Fired 9mm BrassOal Range 1.145” - 1.155”Winchester Small Rifle Primers 124gr Montana Gold JHP .3556.9 gr Vihta Vuori N340Nickel Plated Once Fired 9mm BrassOal Range 1.145” - 1.155”Winchester Small Rifle Primers that was the load they said worked good for them. They also mentioned autocomp which I have a lb of. I figured I'll try these at 1.155 and start around 6.0 gr and work up in .1 increments. Id imagine I could put the MG 124 JHP on top of autocomp without too much trouble. I looked into the burn rates and it seems that N340 is faster than autocomp. For 9 major you want a slower burning powder right? 1 hour ago, Sarge said: I’m surprised they recommend 340. Is this a MAJOR gun?9 or 38? I guess I figured they'd know what works in their guns but I'm definitely open to suggestions. Want to be extra careful in developing loads so I'm sure I'll post my progress on load development.

Shoot A's quick. Newer to USPSA but had the opportunity to get one of these. Figure I can take a couple months to learn it and get up to speed. Hoping to take some clinics with an upper level GM pretty soon here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
