Since shooting 95% 45acp, I have settled on a bullet shape, one powder, and
the correct OAL for a jam-free shoot.
Today I went to the range and shot the following, all from a rather unsteady wooden shelf.
the following loads, with 200grain copper-coated HP with the following of 231 Winchester powder:
4.0, 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 grains. All were shot at ten yards at a fluttery (indoor range) paper target. Each 10 shots at a different target.
Result-none! all shot well, the position I had to hold the pistol, a CZ 97E with a
red dot, seemed to make more difference than the groups, which for a geezer,
were ok, not wonderful. About 3 inch groups.
I shot 20 rounds of each load, 30 rounds of the 4.0, and no discernable difference in accuracy.
Obviously I am doing something WRONG?
I am thinking a Ransom rest might help??
