So I was chatting with another member here on what to use for a powder charge amount in some of my competitive guns. 17 grains was suggested and this evening I tried it with excellent results. Granted this is the outcome of one target but I believe that this wasn't a fluke and similar results will follow as I continue using and trying this load.
Also I was using a set of Herrett Nationals stocks for a S&W 41 but was not diggin the outcome. Love the grips on my actual 41 but they felt like a distraction to me on the caplock. It took too much of an effort to get a good feeling hold so I switched back to the original grips that came on the caplock. They are Herrett Trainers. Slab sided like a High Standard or 1911 ish. Felt good and easy to get a good hold on the gun and let the sub-conscious deal with it and not the conscious part.
The gun is a Yazel .36 caliber percussion - .350 ball, .018" patch, 17 grains of FFF Goex. 25 yard slow fire (single handed off hand) target 99-5X.
