[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1725733, member: 796"] Couple of comments and a question. First, what power factor are you trying to make? For example, if you are shooting IDPA/SSP with a .40 you only need minor power [I]measured out a 5" barrel.[/I] Around 4 gr of HP38 with a 180 bullet will give around 150PF, and is probably as low as you can go and work the slide with the stock recoil spring. To get down to around 130PF, you probably need a reduced power recoil spring, which then would not be suitable for full-power loads. [/QUOTE]
