Currently wearing Alien Gear with 3913 and happy with it. https://aliengearholsters.com/

I hunt a 7500 acre ranch in TX with low fences... Yes it is a ranch and yes it is hunting... Why do you ask?

I own 2 DPMS LR 308s and 2 550s. (some things are just better in pairs : )) I have loaded many thousands of .308 rounds on my 550 without any any problems and have produced some superbly accurate ammo. The LR308 has a 1in10 twist that prefers a heavier bullet. Neither of mine will shoot a 165gr...

So I'm confused...again... If I have a MIM gun is it possible for the same gunsmith applying the same technique to make it as smooth as a forged gun w/o sacrificing structural integrity of any part???

I have a shelf full of books and supplements and obviously the internet is a good source but what I find myself turning to most ofter are the single caliber books by Loadbooks like this one. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=558392 They appear to be just a cheap...

I had one in .350 Rem Mag. While it was a neat gun I don't miss it. Had it been .308 I would still own it but the .350 was just brutal to shoot.

I was shooting a Zero 158gr JHP over 4.5gr 231 in a .38 special case 2 days ago and getting an avg. of 770fps. 85 degrees and 115ft above sea level. I don't think you'll get there with 5gr but 5.5 might using lead or a plated bullet. I think you'll be closer to 6gr. I can tell you I was amazed...

For some milder working loads I use 11gr of Unique under a Hornady XTP for 1170fps out of my 4 inch 29 and 1230fps out of my 6 inch. I'm also a big fan of Dardas LSWC over 10gr of Unique for mild shooting loads. Hunting moves up to 20-21gr of 2400 under a 240gr bullet.

What's the twist on that barrel?

"What is a meplat?" The flat front of the bullet.

Always the number on the frame itself. The crane can be changed from gun to gun if someone wanted to for whatever reason.

Sam, Much thought, and speculation on this still doesn't give a clear answer. Respect to Ted but I think I would like to hear from HQ on this one. Would you allow a Para 1911 LDA shoot w/o engaging the thumb safety? Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

I was just shooting almost that exact load with wonderful results. 200gr Berrys SWC over 5.2gr WW231 at 1.20 OAL. It was running right around 850fps on a 70degree day 100ft above sea level. Your load sounds good. Check the extractor. Me thinks therein lies the problem.

what kind of hand guards have you got?

Please explain why you say the pistol the OP mentioned would put him in ESP.

I got a bunch of once fired s&b brass and can attest to the fact that it is a PITA to load. The primer pockets seem to be tighter than any others I have encountered. No the ones I got weren't crimped. Make sure the pocket is lined up with the primer and use slow steady pressure. If you hit that...

I have loaded a bunch of 231 and never had a problem on either of my 550s. Get 2 so you don't have to switch from small to large primers : ) I did have trouble once with 2400 leaking a little with every round when I was trying to use the small powder bar to measure over 10 grains or so. What...

I stand corrected. My apology for relaying false information and my thanks for educating me.

"Ther are IDPA, USPSA, IMGA and NRA are a few." IDPA is NOT a 3gun organization or even 2gun. Handguns only.
