Gents,
I'm an old, dedicated revolver guy, having owned and shot countless S&W revolvers, a very few Ruger SSMs, and an odd Colt rimfire or two. Never an autoloader-- too complicated for me with all those slide releases, safety, mag release, etc, etc-
40 years of revolvers leaves me kind of comfortable with them-
Problem is-- both my sons-in-laws are autoloader guys-- can't get them to even try a Smith. They both marvel at the groups I shoot so casually with an older target revolver, and they think adjustable sights are un-necessary!
Anyway, I don't have the knowledge to help them with problems with their XD-40 Springfield and H&K pistols. The XD-40 is back at Springfield right now having trigger problems taken care of-- a really long, spongy pull that goes on forever.
Andrew's H&K 40 has one of those polygonal bores, and I can't get it to digest any load with cast boolits at all. At 25yds they are tumbling- I've read this is not unusual for a polygonal bore, but--
Does anyone make a replacement barrel for H&K with standard land&groove rifling?
Where would we look for this animal, and do you experts think this change might help?
I've been loading the Mihec 160gr 401, sized 401 w/BAC lube over 5.5gr Unique with WSP primers. This load works well in the XD, but absolutely no accuracy at all in the H&K-
Where do I turn?
Thanks for listening!
