Posting ammo question here as it specifically pertains to the USPSA competition. As a starting point: reloading is not going to happen for me any time soon. I shoot factory ammo and since Federal is supposed to have the softest primers, Federal is what I shoot, 115 grain. After two years of trying to get random light strikes out of my Stock 2 (14 lbs hammer spring, PD firing pin and spring for technically inclined or curious), or at least to find a way to not have them happen during major matches, I kind of gave up on Tanfo. Light strike during A3, light strike during the Nationals, and I picked up a CZ Custom tuned Shadow 2 from my local gun store (GJM). 13 lbs hammer spring, extended firing pin and light firing pin spring, supposedly this should ignite everything. Two light strikes on same Fed ammo in single action today made me think I was unfair to Tanfo.. My PX4CC lit those rounds up no problem, from a DA too. That prompted this post:
- Is a consensus opinion that these race Production guns demand handloaded ammo?
- Anyone here shoots factory ammo out of their tuned CZs and Tanfos with a good success?
- Anyone noticed any issues with Federal Am Eagle ammo in terms of reliability?
These damn race guns are like crack, once you start shooting them, it is hard to give them up, but I am starting to get pissed.
