I finally got a change to run a little more rounds through my almost finished "wild bunch repro" AI!
My home brew reloads, 230 FMJ Berry's plated over 5.5 231 and some 185 grain HP over the same mix at ten yards.
Happy with the first group out of my 1st 1911 build out of cheap mixed parts.
Pistol ran like a charm.
My loads weren't very consistent, though. The 230's were running from 785 to 840, and the 185's were more wimpy from 685 to 751. Why would the lighter bullet yield a lower speed than the 230 grain with the same mix?
There is some satisfaction in shooting rounds out of a gun I built from scratch!
This group from ten yards standing offhand two handed. 25 shot group. I'll take it for now!
The one flyer on the left at 7 oclock was my flinch!
Those GI sights are tiny! I had on my reading glasses just to see them!
