Well do you shoot cast lead bullets through your factory barrel? Do you have a lot of problems with leading?my compitition and practice ammo consist of whatever i can find thats cheapest at the time im looking. I dont worry about swapping barrels.
Ya, I know what you mean. I gotta get my dies set back to .40 dimensions since I dont have to worry about 10mm any more. Do you usually reload a lighter or medium power load for competition?For competition I use only jacketed re-loads. I have my own recipe that I have worked out based on re-coil and performance. I think most that shoot the matches regularly do. Anything to get just a little bit of a edge. Shave off fractions of a second with each shot and so on. It all adds up in the matches.
Idealy you want it just strong enough to cycle the gun and knock down a steel plate. No more no lessYa, I know what you mean. I gotta get my dies set back to .40 dimensions since I dont have to worry about 10mm any more. Do you usually reload a lighter or medium power load for competition?
Sure does. Three or four cases and I can take my daughter to Chuckie Cheese with the differenceI use my "17 Gen-4" for IDPA. I tried some Monarch 9mm (House label from Academy) made in Serbia by Barnaul. They make the Brown Bear, Silver Bear and Golden Bear steel case ammo in Russia. The Monarch is brass, reloadable, boxer primed and shoots as well as the CCI Blazer which is what I've been shooting. Academy gets 11.99/50rds vs. 12.99/50rds for the CCI Blazer Aluminum cased. The 10 bucks a case adds up after a while.
