Kimber stainless target II

Ten Ten · January 31 2017 08:18:26 PM MST

It has taken 500 rounds to keep from jamming up, fail to feed, but my Kimber ST II seems to like the speer 180gr. TMJ's the best so far

11 grs of blue dot with WLP, starline brass and c.o.l. of 1.250 22lbs spring

advertised at 1295 fps in speer load data...

35yrds or so...

Your Pistol must have come off the line at the same time as mine. Still struggling to get a whole range session without a FTF. Welcome.

I wouldnt be surprised..lol...I was so close to sending it back......

Still a few FTF's here and there, I guess its still breaking in...mabey a 1000 rounds and no FTF? I hope that day comes soon.

I guess I was lucky as mine only needed about 10 rounds to break in and now all is fine. I just don't shoot it as much as I would like. :(Craig

That looks like the West Coast Sierras (California-ish).

Where is the picture of the gun?

Finished up a small batch (ran out of 180gr TMJ's) but ready to start a new one, bullets should be here anytime...

Just received a pulled order of Hydra Shok JHP from American Reloading. Weird sizes but will load some 180 and also got a few 130g. I may load those to kind of get rid of them. Anybody got any data for Power Pistol?? I haven't looked to far yet but Allient doesn't have it listed on line but I load light anyway and these will be for the Kimber target II. My plan was to use these for defense but have enough for testing and want to get rid of the light ones that I only got a few of anyway. I will report back if i find any data. Craig

Just reread my order and it is close to what I got. Supposed to be 180,165,155, and 135g. The 135's kind of through me as I wasn't expecting that size but I will shoot them as I only got 20 or so anyway. No data yet but there is 155g so I can work down from there. Craig ${$default_cool_smiley}$

Handloads.com has the data so not to worry. More powder than I would use to start anyway. Craig

Craig I sent you an e-mail with an attachment to possible help you find loading info for the HS JHP's. ${$default_wink_smiley}$
