After much consideration I decided to "take the plunge" to purchase the Auto Ordance Thompson 1927A1 Replica. (What put me over the edge was the CT school shootings.)Are there any decent "recipe" reloads for this weapon? I'm aware that the original design was for 230 grain round-nose FMJ. Any info, "links" and CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Happy 2013 New Year to all here on the GB Forum!

  Karl is right on the money. I had 2 1927 Thompsons from an estate, one was unfired, the other was lightly used. I played with the used one and found it liked the same load as my 1911s, 4.5grs. of Bullseye.

  Thanks again for the confirmation. Always great to have 2 opions that "jive" - great comfort level. Also, I am presuming that both of you are infering that the bullet is a 230 Gr RN FMJ?

  Hey - I just wanted to thank you guys AGAIN for the info. You really DO know your "stuff!" I shot 50 rounds using 20 and 30 round magazines. I only had 1 jam - and the reason I think had noting to do with the load. The case possibly was damaged on the rim. THEN I shot some 200 and 185 Gr RN and HP reloaded with Tite Group that I reloaded for my 1911's. Every 2nd or 3rd shot jammed. Thanks again - you've saved me a lot of grief and agrivation - not to mention some money doing "test loads."
