smokshwn Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I am running a Bedell Shorty (4.5") and I am 7.9-8.0 with a 121gr MG. I would guess with the wholes that 8.2 would be about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNsTeR Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Is Mr. Hardy still building guns? Does he have a website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmantwo Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I shoot Ramshot Silhouette in my STI 9 Major. I use MG 115's with 8.0 gr of the Silhouette. Federal small rifle primers for the harder cup. No primer flattening and no pressure spikes that I've seen. Next time I buy MG's I think I'll try the 121's. Actually I just ordered and should have asked for a sampel pak, DANG!

Rptstoy1 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I shoot a Hardy 4.25 mongoose with 2 barrel ports and for 2 years I shot it with 9.2 gr. 3N38 with 125 zero jhp's at 1.155 and WSR primers always have chronoed at 168-169 PF but at the recent Area 6, I loaded 9.4 gr. 3N38 with 124 RN MG's at 1.165 with WSP primers and it felt less violent, flatter and didn't have to use spacers with SV mags..It chronoed at 171 PF.

How sloppy would the 3n38 be on a 1050 for 9 mm major Edited July 16, 2009 by AWLAZS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 It's not too bad. We absolutely LOVE the 3N38 around here. It's really clean and flat shooting in our guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al503 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I am looking for 9mm feedback I've loaded up to 9.6 of 3n38 for 9mm. It fills the case up and you'll definitely have to slow down and 'catch' the brass with your fingers as it's coming into the seating station. Otherwise, you're slinging powder all over the place. Figure no more than 3-400 cases per hour on a 1050 if you want to keep the powder in the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWLAZS Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks, that is what I was looking for. I think I will give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
