thought I better throw up a couple pictures of the newest 25 ACP project... this is my Contender carbine 17" 25 ACP barrel... it's wearing a Vortex Diamond Back 4-12X scope...barrel is still in the white
for size comparison, here it is with my Ruger Scout rifle...
I tried 3 different powders ( BTW... we have had so much rain lately, like a lot of you guys have, & the mosquitoes are horrible... I was sitting in a cloud of them squirming & swatting )... I'm betting my groups could have been half the size sans mosquitoes ??? anyway... my suspicions appear correct that the Unique did not meter well in the lil dandy, as there was a noticeable difference in report from shot to shot, as well as vertical stringing... the targets were all shot at 25 yards... the shorter distance due to the fact that I was doing initial scope sighting... I had intentions of pulling out the chrony, but the horrible mosquitoes changed my mind for that morning >
AA#5 had the best group...
with W-231 a very close 2nd ( with the mosquitoes... I think further testing at increased distance is warranted with both #5 & 231 )
BTW... just in case you missed it, this is the companion rifle to my 25 ACP revolver... an 8 shot stainless Blackhawk...
