    My One (two?) Powders

    I AM NOT GOING TO USE this powdah, just trying to identify it. I scrounged some ammo off the ground at IDPA nationals and am trying to identify the powders that were used. I think this is Bullseye or Power Pistol, or perhaps a mixture of both. It's not Unique, which is blacker and has...

    My Two Powders

    As discussed before, I am not going to use this powder, just trying to ID it (scrounged ammo from IDPA Nationals). I think these two pictures/samples are really the same powder. This is a black ball powder, medium sized, with irregular shapes. It is NOT TG or 231. 9mm loads were 3.7 to...

    My Three Powders

    As discussed before, I'm trying to ID some powders I extracted from some ammo I scrounged off of the ground at IDPA Nationals this year. I AM NOT GOING TO USE THIS POWDER. These 3 pics show what I think is the same powder. A fine black ball powder. It has got to be medium/slow: In...

    Powder 9B Guesses?

    This powder is a small gray flake. It looks like Unique, but smaller flakes. Any guesses as to what it might be? (For reference, read the first post here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=681189) Thanks, Koski

    Powder 1 and 4 Identification Help

    I scrounged a bunch live rounds off the ground at IDPA nationals this year. I've measured, weighed, and pulled them now, but I don't recognize some of the powders. I AM NOT GOING TO USE ANY OF THIS POWDER. I'm just curious what it is. I recognize about half of the powder used, but the...

    Crimp Test: Plated Pistol Bullets

    I did a home test to test the theory that over crimping actually decreases the case-bullet connection. I made two groups of cartridges, normal and super hard crimp, then I chambered them multiple times in a pistol and measured the change in COL. A I made 3 rounds with my normal 9mm crimp...

    Reloads at the 2011 IDPA World Championship

    Here's a little video of snips from the match: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaZSEs7lBnw The most popular loads in 9mm were 147 grain bullets with a pinch of fast powder. I'm not sure what was most popular in .45 ACP. Nothing was popular in .40 S&W, as only 4 or 5 people shot the foty...

    Squib removal via charged case?

    I've heard of this, but am not sure if it is reasonably safe: If you have a squib and put a bullet part way down a barrel, take a charged, primed case (no bullet). Carefully chamber it, keeping the powder charge in place, then fire to push the bullet out of the bore. In principle it seems...

    Horrible 9mm results: 124 LRN, 5.2 Unique, FCD

    A friend claimed to be getting shotgun patterns from this ammo (Glock 17, same results with stock barrel and Lone Wolf barrel). I didn't believe him 'till I fired some tonight. From a rest at 15 yards I was getting 9-10" groups with the 124 LRN/5.2 Unique combo. COL was a hair short at...

    Looking for light w/ laser for Glock

    Any suggestions? I've never used one, but would like to put one on a HD gun. Insight's M6 and M6X look pretty nice. The Glock GTL-21 looks good, maybe not quite as nice as the M6. Are there any light with GREEN laser combinations out there? Thanks, Steve Koski
