Range targets - show them off!

Today.

Ran my old standard, Ken Hackathorn’s “The Test”. NRA B8 (5.5" black) at 10 yards. 10 rounds

New personal best of 5.25 seconds

This is the pistol that had the wandering/reliability fail front sight. Got it green threadlock’d and seems to be holding strong

I’ve developed a sympathetic squeeze from not shooting enough. On a half size target, body shots were at 16 yards, head and bullseye at 5 yards. Using TP9 elite combat.

Not bad at all for a cook! What’s the pet load you were using? More 69 grain match bullets?

Have you ever tried the 69 grain rmr bullets version? I should send you a sample. How many would you need to try to work up a load? 50?

First 6 shots with new Tailor & Company “ Gunfighter “ ( hand loads )

Right on! I’m glad you finally got around to smelling some gunpowder this fall!

Fine looking firearm too! I’ve got a buddy that’s interested in a single action and I’m trying to convince him to get a modern copy. I’ll have another option to show him now!!

The load seems accurate enough. Was it the first one you tried?

This one was tuned & has the wide hammer spur. Not cheep but well worth the money. At 2 1/2 pounds little or no recoil even with spicy ammo. Point of aim is point of impact.
PS: this IMO IS built better than my Colt SAA.
It’s a keeper.
Stay sharp
Blacky

I’m glad those are working well for you. That’s about what I pay for a six cavity mold that can cast an infinite amount of bullets.

As far as buying bullets, i’m paying 33% more for jacketed hollow points than you are for those plain lead bullets.
