Thank you all for the replies. That being said, I'm through testing this Sig. I've spent enough time, valuable powder and primers that I'll take what I've got. I am satisfied that I've been through enough bullets, COLs and loads of different powders not to mention the purchase of a 1000 new...

I"m still in the midst of bench testing this Sig P210 American. Among the test targets (25 yards from a rest) I shot these two. They are both 124 grain JHPs. The first had 3.8 grains of Titegroup, the second had 4.1 grains. Both had a OAL of 1.150". They were shot one right after the another...

This Sig will be used primarily for 25 yard target shooting. No formal competition. I just compete with myself which is tough enough. At least for now, I will test 115 FMJ and 124 JHP using Power Pistol, Titegroup, Unique and Bullseye. This is the first pistol I've ever had to do extensive...

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I have some 124 JHP. Would you mind giving me your powder load and COL? Maybe I can shortcut my way to a good load.

Thank you those that have replied. I have several 9 mms and never had to work too hard to find accurate loads. This Sig is another story. Most of the loads I've tried had COLs from a Lyman or Hornady manual including 1.060, 1.090 and 1.125 using Titegroup, Bullseye, Unique and Power Pistol...

This is for a Zero 115 FMJ. Rather than using one of the OAL values in one of the many loading books I have, I went the route of doing the plunk test, seeing if the bullet could turn in the chamber, etc. Initially, it wasn't ejecting properly so I decreased OAL step by step until it seated...

Thanks for your reply. My biggest concern was the weight of the sight and mount slowing the slide causing failure to ejects or other problems.

I will soon be putting a Vortex sight on my STI Trojan 6" .45 ACP. Is this going to affect the slide operation? I will be removing some weight taking off the stock rear sight but probably adding a bit more than that with mount and site itself.

Here's another site: http://www.policehq.com/Products/SIMU-9 The local police had been qualifying at our range just before I found these and that may explain where they've come from.

I think you're right about the Simunition. The white nylon plastic piece is tightly crimped in by the brass and you can see where the "bullet" was inserted into the plastic. Before firing, the expanded piece of the collar rests on the rim of the brass as in the picture on the Simunition site

Should have mentioned that whatever these are, the primer indicates they have been fired.

Been going to the range for a long time but have never seen these before. Have a 9mm stamp on them.

Done. http://www.bullsbag.com/

Has anyone had experience with either the Pro or the 15" versions of the Bullsbag? There's a tremendous amount of hype on their website and I was more interested in hearing from someone who has had real experience with one as to how good it is as a rifle rest off the bench. Thank you.
