Anyone using 45 Super in their G21, G30, or G36? Just wondering how the Glocks perform with it... If it works well, I might consider switching from 10mm Auto to 45 Super.
Good job SS!Well in a quick test running both comps side by side the alphawolf comp is more efficient than the fishgill style comp. Time constrained I only ran two loads to get a feel for it, one light and one heavier bullet. Load one was a 185gr xtp 13.2g power pistol, which averaged 1620fps from this gun, the other load is a 250 grain plated barry's bullet under 10.5g 800x running a 1224fps average.
With the 185 grain load cases fall 3.5-4 feet from the gun with the fishgill comp but only 18 inches away with the alphawolf. The 250 grain load sent cases 4-5 feet away with the fishgill comp, the alphawolf cut the distance to 2.5-3 feet. The gun does shoot flatter with the big ports facing upwards now which is nice. Hope the durability is there with the aluminum but so far the alphawolf is better for super loads.
Tim,I am looking to convert my 21 to a Rowland and was hoping to get some advice on what comp to get and some starting loads for 800x in 230 and 250 gr. I have looked but not much reloading data out there. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you all
Have you noticed any powders being more abrasive than others? I know lil gun is like a belt sander to forcing cones in my revolvers. I hear blue dot may be a little rougher on parts as well.The place you will see the erosion start is the back side of baffle ( chamber side).
It will round the corner' s of baffle wall/bore.
Mike,The LWD long slide I made a brake for was extremely mild shooting with 230 XTP's @ 1440fps!
This was a "fast" barrel as the same load in my 6.6 barrel was 30 fps slower.
