Larry White Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 You will want to change your load also. The 6 takes about .3 less powder to make the same pf. They also seem to like lighter bullets. We have changed from 180s to 165s.---------------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Larry: Have you guys tried the 155 or 170 grain Precisions yet? I think the 170's may be the way to go. I have some if you want to try them. I also have the 155's as well. I am thinking of a 6" as well but want to try a plastic pistol first to see if the sight radius will help me. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric I have been shooting the 155s for 3 gun(minor) for a while. I,m playing with the 170s now, will probaly change when I run out of jhps.--------------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Mine has a really slow barrel in it, runs the same power factor as a 5" more or less..... Larry, have you tried any of the 155's at major? The 165's feel better than the 180's in a jacketed bullet to me too, so I have been really interested in trying even lighter bullets. I'd also be curious to hear how the 170's work out for you. Thanks, Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacblack Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 "I've got my 6" coming from Bedell sometime here shortly. It is being built on a standard width frame, bushing 6" barrel. We'll see how she turns out." Cool can't wait to see the pics of this. We have a couple 6" Benny guns at our club, causing me to wonder if I need a new gun and what to get?

zhunter Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 For those of you looking to "try" the 6" thing, HERE is a gun for a good price to try to see if you like the "Kool-aid". Maybe we should pool our money and buy it, then pass it around to try out the longer sight radius thing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Boit Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I'm steeping in your thread about the bullet weight. What kind of 170s do you guys shoot ? I've been using 170s FMJ from Fiocchi for years and I have always been pleased with both accuracy and consistency. I'd be very curious to try a 6 inches limited gun because we are limited to box compliant pistols here. I love my SV Sight trackers, but if more and more guys shot 6 inches pistols, there might be something to look at ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Good morning(here) Mr Boit, we were talking about the precision bullet, a coated lead bullet. I dont know of a 170 gr jacketed bullet that we can get in the states.--------------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA-Wolf Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Eric, Have you seen Jack Travers 6" ? (boy that sounds dirty) Derek did one up for him (with that super cool coating) and it shot nice. You may want to give his a drive to see what you like and don't like on it (again that sounds bad) next time you are at Malabar.

dirtypool40 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 ummm, yeah When Z gets involved things often head South, quickly. Wait, I brought her up this time. Anyway, I am meeting with Venry this weekend to sketch 'er out and get started. We chatted while-a-go about the high power cut and some other lightening things. Hopefully next weekend I get to shoot Jack's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
