More Colt range testing

[David LaPell]

I took my New Service out today, mostly to relieve stress more than anything else so I took out some handloads I worked up for it. It is a little brisk with the 452424 and 7.5 grains of Unique, especially with these grips and adaptor, still its not too bad and I bet if I ever feel like bench resting it I bet the groups will look a heck of a lot better.

Not bad at all! What year model is that .45?

[David LaPell]

According to the serial number, 1933, even though it has the earlier tapered barrel.
