Limited Major Power factor

[Litlratt]

For what it's worth, you can expect your chrono results at a big match to be lower than what you measure at home unless you use exactly the same protocol with a light box, etc. like Chronoman and Ken Skeeters use.

Are you saying that they would all be lower? I would think that a difference in protocol would result in some being higher also.

Could go either way, you are right, but my anecdotal evidence is that I've heard dozens (maybe hundreds) talk about how much higher their velocity was at home, and I don't recall anyone saying the opposite.

Another thing that bites people is that they do not actually weigh their bullets and just assume the advertised weight is accurate. The chrono will weigh your bullet and I've seen people go minor or sub minor just because they assumed their bullet weight was correct. I've seen some go higher in PF because their bullets were heavier than they thought too!

WEIGH SOME OF YOUR BULLETS EACH TIME YOU GET A NEW BOX!

Mine actually went up at A5. My load usually chronos around 173 on my home chrono.

What style bullets do you guys use? 230 gr lrn seated at 1.100 dont feed very well in a Glock 21, I wondered what bullet you guys were using, I see the bullets smaller.

that one is probably better asked in the reloading forum, since the G21 isn't used in competition, except for maybe the bowling pins.

I sell and use my own bullets

I shoot a 180s in Limited like most everybody else. I shoot 147s in 9mm and 230s in .45.

Guys, there's a real simple solution for all of this. Shoot Production and buy factory 147.

That's what I did last year.

Since I bought the Dillon and the Glock 35, I can play in both Limited and Production.

I've decided to quit worrying about this and just shoot some Precision Cartridge ammo, since they are a match sponsor.

I'll deal with my weird chrono / bad Lot of powder later on.

They still have to make 165 power factor and will be tested just the same as any other ammo.
Precision is reloaded ammo using Accurate #5 powder.
Coach and I shoot 5 rounds from my Limited gun at his house 2 weeks ago and it made it.

I know, I just don't have time to deal with it before Friday.

They did a special run of ammo for Bart, so I'm buying 350 of those from him.
