Different powders, new ones especially, New on market bullets are a lot of fun and I get to talk to great people that love the same stuff I do.

I go out of my way to try all things that fit what I do. I'm a lunatic when it comes to shooting, I just get the biggest kick out of trying new stuff, guns, loads, targets and games for pesos, fun money, nothing huge. 45ACP pistols and normally take one to the range once or twice a week and try to run at least a couple hundred through it, it keeps me thinking. But my less is still a normal's much more. 45ACP, it is at a far lesser pace and about 1 to 1 reloads to factory rounds. I also have a few other 9mm's that get shot quite a bit. I have a CZ SP-01 Shadow (stock production) that has about half that thru it in 5 years and all of those but a few are mine. On the interwebs that is an oddity in itself.Īs for this part, I load and shoot a ton of 9mm by that I mean I have a 6 year old CZ75 SP-01 Custom that has well over 85,000 rounds thru it and the vast majority of those are my reloads. Well I can tell from the rest of your reply to me and others you understand what I'm saying. Another benefit of hanging with guys like those noted above: they don't look at you funny when you tell them you've put 12,000 rounds through your. I believe that this did more for my shooting than anything else I'd ever done. Doing this for several years, and being taken under the wing of a couple of the better match shooters at my club. Each month I was ordering one more 1000 count box of my beloved Noslers, and dribs and drabs of 230 grain XTPs. That very last part was a joke.ĭixieBoy wrote:For the halibut, how many loads of a given caliber do you believe you've fired in a given year? I'm asking because, when I was on my quest, and money/desire/availability of components were all in alignment, I was shooting an honest 10K - 12K rounds of. They feel different, in a lot of ways but I really can tell maybe it's just a sense of smell. I can tell the difference in most powders that I have experience with on any given load even with the same bullet at least in 9mm shot from my pistols. Getting consistent results out of a pistol that is normally fired extremely fast requires consideration of slide speed and resetting of the disconnect, muzzle flip tendencies, recovery of front sight, any twist and thats after all the other things that will make a gun go bang with a reloaded round always, everytime. I really learned to load from loading 9mm rounds for target and pistol games shooting. When it comes to loading for semi-auto factors tend to multiply and get complicated. I'm pretty analytical when it comes to something that becomes a pet load for me. I chrono any likable loads for deviation and will push them to find a falloff point. but I don't base my accuracy claims from my shooting only. I shoot more than almost anyone that I have ever met and I've met a lot of shooters in my life. I like it when you talk guns and ammo and shooting stuff. What I have done is to work up loads for a certain cartridge in a pistol caliber rifle and then used those rounds in a handgun with good success. The same goes for tests of different guns. When I see results of accuracy tests that confirm a 2" or 3" pattern at 25 yards I wonder how much is the shooter and how much is the ammo. It takes a whole lot of shooting to be able to tell the difference between pattern and accuracy. Unless using a rest or a scope it is nearly impossible to tell the accuracy of a load in a certain handgun.

Here's a PB pic, wish I had the OAL in the damn thing.Īdded Note: **My thinking I believe sucks, I checked a source. I like 231/HP-38 for round nose target bullets but Power Pistol and some others get up to speed and still remain accurate in. I'm low on that powder at the moment and just picked up a good amount of Blue Dot that I will test when I get home, it should work up well for me Blue Dot is a good power powder for semi-autos. It gets to around 1000 fps in both 1911's and a CZ97, it is very accurate. The best practice load I found for that particular bullet is loaded at 1.185" OAL*see note* (*I think, I'm up in Canada right now, my data's at home*) anyway, its the same as the factory 200gr XTP round overall length and 7.8gr of Power Pistol. I use various factory Hornady 200 and 185gr defense loads for my. Hey DB, I started loading accurate self defense practice loads using that same bullet, I bought my first batch from you a couple of years back as a matter of fact.
