testing loads

I need .010 patches the .015 are too tight , can't feel the ball seat which is causing stringing .
10 shot benched at 25 yds .. There not many smokeless pistols that will out shoot it ...

A thrown rock can kill a cat. Of course it will kill a cat.

Re: testing loads

That is really cool, gunrunner. How fast does 18grs of black get that little .36 ball going? 700fps?

I never ran it across my chrony yet but 700 fps sound about right . I don't shoot it in matches because it give me a too big advantage over the other shooters .

Here a pic of my shooting buddy and his gun after winning 2007 Az state championship . He has won Gold Medals all over the world with it . You don't take a gun like that to small local matches .
