Shootin' Fool

Finally got to shoot the 10mm Colt Delta Elite I bought at the Lexington gun show last weekend.

I took a hundred rounds - fifty each of Remington UMC and BVAC, both 180 grain FMJ JFP. The former was definitely a bit hotter, and shot a touch closer to point of aim. However, the BVAC had smaller groups. In fact, my best group - the last five rounds I fired, at 25 yards - was with the BVAC. It was just over 2.5", a little low and to the right. This with a gun which has simple, three-dot sights, though from a rest.

The gun was purchased NIB, unfired. That group was shots 96 through 100 *ever put through this gun*. Even during this hundred rounds I tell that the point of aim was shifting slightly. Another couple of hundred and the parts should be settled in. I can't wait to see how will it will be shooting by then.

Can you teach me to shoot sometime? I would like to do that one of these days!
