stickmakerThought at first I'd found a round it liked, shooting the .40 S&W Winchester White Box I bought Wednesday. The first few shots were to roughly point of aim and close together, considering barrel length and sight radius. However, as I continued shooting the group opened, and began moving right and down. After forty rounds I gave up. Even holding a bit high and to the left, I was chewing into the bottom horizontal support beam. I also had another jam.
I had also brought my trusty old Mark IV Series 80 M-1911 in .45 ACP. Can that thing shoot... After a few practice groups at 25 meters I put a target on the 50 meter board. Five shots, four on the paper, three in the black.
Pushing my luck, I put another target at 75 meters. Five shots, three on the paper, two in the black. These are B-17C targets with a 20cm black circle. I was using a bench rest, but that's still good shooting for a nearly stock .45 with combat sights. If the weather hadn't been really hot I might have gone to 100 meters.
I have, in the past, put five out of seven shots in the torso region of a silhouette target at 150 meters, freehand, standing in front of the shooting benches. Don't know if my hands and eyes are still good enough to do that, but might just try next time I'm at the range.
