for one your going to probably have problems with extraction and secondly a 100fps more does very little to the killing power of any load. If plus p 9mm isn't enough its time to step up to a 40 or 45.
Casting a buffer out of pure lead wouid be easy enough,
Sorry, but you are wrong.That is totaly incorrect. The reason so many have recommended changing the 11 pound factory spring in the camp carbine is because the bolt speed is too high and cracked stocks have been a problem with this model. The recommended weight is a 21 pound Wolfe recoil spring. So yes, springs can and do make a difference.
The spring force is around 5 to 8 pounds, increasing the the spring stiffness to 20 pounds would make about 0.5% difference in the blow-back force.
The bolt mass is what makes the difference in safety.
The stiffer spring only makes a difference in how fast the bolt hits the back of the receiver, it has very, very little to do with how fast the case comes out of the chamber.
The factory spring is 11 pounds not 5. And the heavier spring increases the dwell time allowing the pressure to drop somewhat.
uuh, dwell time is the length of time in which a gas system in a gas operated rifle is under pressure, non applicable to blowbacks.. what prevents the bolt from moving rearward before pressures drop to safe levels is the mass of the bolt, and only the mass of the boltThe factory spring is 11 pounds not 5. And the heavier spring increases the dwell time allowing the pressure to drop somewhat. I never addressed case speed on ejection. I believe someone else did.
The whole idea of a super 9mm is silly anyway. There are much better rounds in the same caliber without trying to overload a small pistol case. And the information I gave came from the gunwriter J.B. Wood. If you disagree take it up with him.
