These are a couple of my targets from Last Saturday 12/7
It's snowing out and I'm bored.
I'd rather be shooting, but not in this snowy mess :-x
I don't like to load a whole bunch of rounds up too far in advance of shooting them.
I've been known to change my mind on what I think is a good load.
So, I am trying to stay away from the loading bench.
The ones on the left are from an RCBS 45-201 dropping at about 225gains from range lead.
I'm very pleased with how they shoot, I know that the bullet and gun is capable.
The size of the group is caused by me.
These are about average, on a good day I shoot better, on a bad day I shoot worse.
I can't get the results with crummy purchased cast bullets, that is why I cast.
The group opens up a noticeable amount using Missouri bullets.
I don't rest or sandbag my handguns because I fell into that with rifle and never learned to shoot rifle offhand.
I only care about what handguns do in my hands :)
There are only 10 holes in the target because I only shoot five at a time and leave a random empty chamber to check for flinch.
The 45 is S&W 625-2 5" - 40yards offhand isosceles + dot sight using the RCBS 45-201 & 4.0 WST Jakes 50/50 chronographed at about 750 fps -ish
The 22 is from a Benelli MP95E Atlanta - 40yards offhand isosceles + dot sight using Aquila pistol match
I suppose I could put up pics of the guns and bullets if anyone cares to see them.
The scale is 6" and the orange dots are 1-5/8"
