SOLD - PENDING FUNDS

It's a 4" bbl.  I had one with a 6" bbl, but I had trouble a couple of times drawing it while backpacking.  The last time I was hiking on a game trail in the Scapegoat Wilderness.  I was going up this small ridge when I heard something on the other side of the ridge coming my way.  By the time I got the gun clear of the holster, there was a doe peering over the ridge about 30 feet away. I started looking for the 4" the next week!

Addendum:  I was chatting with the ranch manager after the season was over, and we started talking about people hunting there without permission.  During the discussion, he mentioned that he puts out trail cams to try and catch them. 

It reminded me of the "Situation Ethics" articles in the Bugle.

Here's an article about the Meat Eater in today's JWR.

 I took my SA TSP longslide 10 mm out for its first hunt last night.  It's topped with a factory installed Trijicon MSR and co-witnessed iron sights.  I'm shooting a 200 gr TCFP bullet from Missouri bullets.  I have a local rancher that lets me hunt deer in order to preserve some of his hay crop.  I got into position about 1/2 mile from a swamp around 4 PM.  The place is thick with willows that grow in bunches 10'-15' high.  The cattle graze in there, but you can't hunt in there because it's too noisy, and visibility is 20 yards at best.  So I picked a spot on a spit of brush that was on the edge of a hay field, and gave me some visibility.  A few minutes before 6 PM, I noticed a deer slowly walking towards me.  He stopped about 25 yards from me and started raking a sapling.  I counted 3 points on a side, and figuring he had brow tines, he was an 8-pointer!!!!!  But I couldn't shoot due to the heavy growth.  So I waited about 5 minutes while he cleaned his antlers for me.  He then resumed walking towards me, and got to the edge of the clearing I was sitting next to, and stopped.  He took a look at me, and raised his tail.  He stood there a few minutes, then slowly walked into the clearing.  He stopped about 15 yards from me, broadside.  Nothing between us but air.  Oh, did I mention that the rancher wants me to only shoot does?  I'm sorry.  I'm really sorry, because I COULDA shot him quite easily, I WOULDA shot him, but I SHAN'T.  Disappointing, but still quite the experience. 

24"bbl, accutrigger, Leupold VXIII 2.5-8X36mm, brushed aluminum, duplex reticle. Hornady FL die set w/shell holder. 170 ea Barnes bullets, 83 ea empty brass, and 87 loaded rounds w/140 gr Barnes TSX. This rifle is in excellent condition, and shoots less than MOA. It is zeroed in @ 200 yds, and is ready for hunting season. 5 day inspection period.

$700 plus S & H.

We have a solution!!!!!  I've been talking with Alan @ Sprinco and here's what we came up with.  He will sell me the 6" recoil management system #12263 w/o the reverse plug for $99.95.  He also recommended the 20# spring #25020.  Then I need to take the front plug from the TRP and have it drilled, counter-bored and buffed for the guide rod.



Ta-Da.



I do have my doubts about the 20# spring, as it might be too strong.  But I can play with that later.



If you want to go this way, and get the $20 break on the recoil system, you'll need to call in your order.

I guess you know you are hardcore reloading when you only need 3 primers to finish 1000 9mm fmj and you easily find 3 on the floor!!! Craig

I have to pick up each primer as it hits the floor.  The maid gets really pissy when they rattle up the vacuum.

There are three reasons for trimming brass.

The first is that you are very anal, and can't help yourself.  Ha ha

Secondly, you don't want to exceed max case length.  In this case, 0.992".  I don't think your cases will last long enough for that to be a problem.

Last is uniformity.  It's been shown many times that gross discrepancies in case length results in poor groups.  The lone flier in an otherwise tight group is usually attributed to this and not having a square mouth, if no other cause can be found.  This applies to both rifles and handguns.

As far as min length goes, it depends on what you're going to use the pistol for.  If it's just general plinking and range fun, then I wouldn't bother trimming at all.  If you are in competition or hunting, then you need to trim and sort.  Take a sheet of lined paper, and enter the numbers .883 to .897 on every other line.  Measure the case lengths and put the case next to the corresponding number.  When you are finished, you should have a nice Bell Curve.  Take the mass of cases that are at or near the top of the bell, and trim them to the length of the shortest case in that group.  Let's say that out of 100 cases, you have 67 (2/3) of them in a bell from .891-.894.   Take these and trim them to .891.  Then chamfer the mouths, and weigh them.  Put any cases that fall out of the group with the rejects from the first step.  What you are left with are your competition/hunting cases.  They should all have pretty much the same capacity, and be very consistent.  That is all they are to be used for.  Not for practice and not for plinking. 

I'll tell you a little story why I do this.  A few years ago, I was down on the Big Hole River hunting elk.  Now this was the middle of November and a typical sunny day with a temp of about -20.  Elk and deer do not run around at this temperature.  They just walk.  Anyway, I'm going along and suddenly find myself right in front of a herd of bedded elk.  So they, one by one, get up and walk away.  All I am offered is the Texas heart shot.  After quite a few of them walk away, I'm getting a little anxious, so I try a head/neck shot on one.  As I'm reloading, I don't see any affect on the cow, but I do see another one stand up, broadside, about 30 yds away.  As I turn to make a sure thing shot, I can't close the bolt on my rifle.   I look down and see a spent primer laying where it makes the rifle inoperable.  Did I mention that it was a little cool out, and I'm wearing two pair of heavy gloves?  The primer would not shake out, and I couldn't dig it out with the gloves on.  By the time I got everything in operating order, the herd had walked away.  Where did the primer come from?  It was a loose primer that fell out at the shot.  Never again!  I have one box of ammo for each hunting gun that is labelled "HUNTING" and that is all they are used for.  I topped off a box of ammo for my daughter a couple of years ago.  She has gotten an antelope in each of the last 2 years.  There are 18 loaded rounds in the box.  I think I will die before that box needs to be refilled.  I am 76 yrs and 362 days old.

The cases that didn't make muster are the ones you use for practice.  And that is how that box is labelled.  If a primer falls out at the range, no big deal.  I, on the other hand, lost 300# of prime meat.

Beemer:  The problem with a standard round recoil spring is that it doesn't solve the problem of hot loads in a pistol.  your gun is being pounded by both ends of the slide.  The object is to let the slide come back in recoil strong enough to give a reasonable ejection of the fired case, yet be slow enough at the end to allow sufficient time for that case to clear the gun and allow the magazine to raise the next cartridge. 

To me, the optimum solution is the Colt Delta elite that you mentioned.  That's one of the emails that are out there.  This system allows the slide to come back relatively rapidly until it hits the inner spring.  Then it slows down drastically giving a reduced slam on the frame and reduced muzzle jump.  As it closes, the lighter outer spring gives a reduced slam on the frame, and reduced muzzle dip.  But I don't know if it'll fit in the TRP.   Hopefully I'll know if it'll work by tomorrow. 

Thanks for your reply.
