Hello all! Helping a friend load for his older 25-20 WCF break-action rifle, and am having a hard time finding projectiles. I have come across numerous cast options, and have no problem shooting cast myself, however he would prefer to stick to true jacketed projectiles, which I am unable to...

Well guys, it worked! I ended up going with A4, as it had the most natural recoil impulse while still being mild and controllable. I also ended up running it with the lighter recoil spring, and taking first place in our steel shoot league for that night! Shooting it side by side with my general...

thanks! As for the extra velocity, they are coming out of the VP9 Match, which utilizes a stepped chamber for a bit tighter gas seal, a 5.8” barrel, and polygonal rifling. That would likely be my guess as to the additional velocity. As for headstamps, I purposefully left it mixed, as that’s...

Also worth noting that the powder charges were thrown on a Redding #3-BR powder measure with the pistol rotor installed. It’s easily consistent to the 10th of a grain, and I’d say even down to 2 hundredths of a grain. (After getting the N320 I did some powder measure tests to see how accurately...

So, I was able to get out this morning to test the loads. Results are interesting, larger SD’s and ES’s than I’d anticipated, with not much variance in average velocity between strings. Also, the first shot of each group was 30-70 FPS slower than the rest of the string. I attributed this...

That’s about how I’m feeling haha agreed! There’s still a good bit of civility over here thankfully

Thanks guys! Will look at picking up some 147’s to try next time I put in an order with RMR, as well. Y’all are so much more helpful over here than in the Reddit reloading forum. Over there you ask a simple question and get 20 people who look down at you and think you’re stupid. Over here y’all...

Yup, that’s what I need to focus in on for this load. Accuracy as best as I can (definitely 2” or less at 25yd bc I know the pistol is capable of it) but optimizing that velocity and recoil impulse

Nope, they do technically have to go down. The main stage of the course is a 6-plate plate rack, which I have to clear first.

Good to know! I am planning on setting them up to meet minor PF, like you said if I get the chance to compete in the true competitive games like USPSA and IPSC. As for using the recoil to transition to the next target, I started doing that and it helps a ton! For the RMR 124 FPMW’s, I tried...

Good to know! What are you seeing velocity-wise?

That’s similar to what I’ve seen online. A lot of guys saying 4.1 to 4.2 is their sweet spot Thanks for the input!

Good morning everyone! Looking for some recommendations for loading 124 grain RMR FMJ projectiles in 9mm for speed shooting competition, with VV N320. Does anyone use this projectile/powder combination, and what powder charge have you found to be the most accurate? As a disclaimer, I AM working...

When I’m processing batches of brass, I’m doing several thousand in the span of a few days, so the quantity is there. Also I already have the 1617 router, so that’s not an added cost. Based on my numbers, I could have a complete 1617 trimming setup for around $250 out of pocket instead of the...

I run my brass through a prep cycle so toolhead space isn’t an issue. Also it’s variable speed, no one said it has to run screaming at 25000 RPM. Down on 8000 in the lower speed you could have a conversation next to it and not even raise your voice it’s that quiet. The shop-vac on the other...

Does anyone here use the Honey Badger trim adapter, and if so what can you tell me about it’s setup and use? Thanks!

This is actually what I’m leaning towards! I’ve got an air compressor, just need the cerakote and spray gun. It’s a detailed application process, but it would also be neat to learn how to do it, too

Interesting! will have to look into it

Any reason why to parkerize first? I’ve read and seen that cerakote should go on straight over the bare steel

Recently purchased an LCP MAX several months back and have been carrying it off an on. I’ve normally wiped the slide down occasionally with a silicone rag and haven’t had any issues, until just getting it out after several weeks in its case. The slide had surface rust on the rear serrations...
