Are you running retail ammo - WWB, Federal, etc with either? My 20# just keeps it in check. If it was any weaker it would be battering the end cap. I am interested in a quality replacement spring.

I am running reloads can't find any commercial ammo here, i have a #20 i have run in my gun for years, runs good... in the 1k+ rpm rate. We were looking to have some options.. without cutting coils off the spring. if i could find wwb it would be a good test... like most of us it's hand rolled at this time. We will have some spring # info soon! Looking like $15ea + shipping USPS

14.5 # in stainless and 16.5 # in standard. I believe the original springs were 13#. I will be out of town for the rest of the week so I'll get these going after the holiday.

Recoil spring test

I got some recoil springs and buffers from Sureshot . I did some rpm testing in my MK-760 while out camping. All of my data was done at 9000 ft. elevation and 60 deg. I used Winchester 115 gr. White Box and std. 8" barrel. I used the buffer with all springs.

Mk factory 20# spring = 932 rpm
Sureshot 16.5# music wire= 764 rpm

MK factory 13# stainless = 779 rpm
(Yes, a factory Mk spring I ordered with the gun in 1988)
Sureshot 14.5# stainless = 765 rpm

I had a little Fiocchi 115gr. with me, so I tried it also.
Sureshot 14.5# stainless = 722 rpm

Typically, 99.9% of my shooting is with 147gr. subsonic hand loads and a
5" barrel with Form 1 homemade suppressor. (Colorado yuppies don't like noise) The Sureshot springs and Mk stainless spring at the lower rpm rate makes the gun super controllable and the buffer smoothes everything out.
I don't have any more factory ammo, but I may try some testing with hand loads this winter, hopefully at a lower elevation, which may or may not effect rpm.

Ok some more data with factory ammo:
wwb stainless 866 music wire 779
Tul 115gr 879 866
Fed 115gr 836 789
I have around 800 rounds on the stainless the standard only around 50 I was told the stainless takes time to "seat" seems like it got faster with use. All were tested 5 rounds at 5500' 65deg. 8 in barrel.

Sureshot:
Just got word that my S&W 76 would be on my front door step this Friday.... (with my signature from Fed-ex/UPS). Wow, its been a long 10 months, but ATF finally came through!
Would like to buy a couple buffers and a standard spring. Hope to shoot WWB and maintain a slower cyclic rate. Can you PM me and let me know which spring would work best with WWB?
Or give me a ring, 1-713-299-1234
Thanks, Opee
