mpolans Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I've found a pretty sweet deal on an unramped 9x19 barrel. Since I'm going to shoot 9x19 Minor only through it, but with fast burning powders and heavy bullets (147-160gr.), do I really need to use a ramped barrel?

warpspeed Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 My STI 9mm has a Barsto unramped barrel. I shoot a 124 MG over N320 for a minor load. and a 115 gr MG over Vectan BA10 for a steel load. No problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Best steel load was on accident....162 gr. lead over 3-something of Bullseye. Felt like a 22 and damn-near made major! Umm, no. Supported barrels came about because people were blowing up .38 Auto (not super) brass trying to make major with a cup-full-o Blue Dot. Don't worry about it.

Alan Meek Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 no problem using a std barrel especially a Bar-sto. I use Bar-Sto std barrel in all of my guns and make major easily with no problems. So for minor, you are good to go. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 In a locked breach gun like a 1911? I do not see a problem. I ran some of my 147/N310 loads through a full auto Uzi once (a blow-back action) - not good. Brass balooned like you would not believe & it was only 129 PF. But in a 1911? go for it.
