Those 1911s are addictive, you are gonna like that Gold Cup. Put a 16-18lb recoil spring in it to shoot hardball and defensive loads. A call to Colt will tell you what spring weight was in the GC when it left the factory.

Encore I purchased some 135 Critical Duty by Hornady and they feed. The 135 load is a tight, accurate shooter in my EMP 4". Got to stock up on that load.
Gnappi, the Tisas Carry9 I have is a ramped barrel. It appears that the nosediving is due to magazine spring tension. The problem appears to be magazine related. Haven't had time to sort it out.

FWIW My Tisas 9mm Carry won't feed hollowpoints. I've tried Hornady XTPs, W-W Silvertips. Speer Gold Dots, and Sierra 365s. All factory ammo, they nosedive coming out of the magazine right into the feed ramp. All factory ammo. Feeds RN Ball like eating candy. Called Tisas and a pleasant young lady in CS advised me the 9mm Carry was not designed to shoot hollowpoints. It's a now a fun range gun. 5 factory mags and none work with JHPs.

You sound like a regular, all that is missing is a few pics of some of those custom handguns. Welcome aboard!

So many good things with that Ruger! Love the pinto look and the stags. Rear sight is upgraded as that upgrade is needed. Love to see the holster without the gun lying upon it?
Barranti Rig really adds much class.

Wow, nice old Colt, reminds me of firearms I see on this forum. Wonder what caliber it is?

Try the HKS D frame speedloader for Colt DS.

Thanks guys, this really helps as powder experimentation with different loads is not cheap.

Last spring I sold my reloading outfit and all the accessories that 50 years of reloading, casting and shooting garners. A truckload. I sold this to a man who I have known and mentored for 30+ years. He's an LEO and will be retiring in a couple of years and he wants to develop skills in reloading, particularly rifles.
My background in reloading ammo for rifles is limited. 06, 308 and 7mm-08.
My friend has a 264 Winchester that is a pre 64 Winchester that belonged to his grandfather and is in very good shape with a low round count. He wants to use the 264 Model 70 and take an Elk with it. I've loaded a smattering of 7mmMagnums but no other belted cased cartridges.
So the question to the forum is: Are there known bullet/powder recommendations for 264 Win Mag that go together like hotdogs and mustard, beer and pretzels, and 2400 and 358156 bullets?
Wondering if you all might have a "pet Load" (forgive me Ken Waters) for this cartridge?
Thanks for looking in?
Zeke38
PS: He's not into eroding his barrel.
