Range report from today's further testing.
Ammo used this time:
100 rds Federal 230gr.
100 rds PMC 230gr.
50 rds Winchester 230gr JHP
50 rds Speer Gold Dot 230 gr.
Magazines were the same mix as described in previous post.
Results so far... The mac-gar magazine will be used for range purposes only. Had one failure to chamber fully on round 50 this time, coincidentally enough it was the first round in that mag. I ejected the mag, cleared the weapon, reloaded the round and it fed that time. On round four in that same magazine, slide locked to the rear. I can't figure out what happened there.
No other malfunctions were experienced until round 299 when I had a stovepipe. That occurred in a generic magazine that has had its spring and follower replaced with Wilson spring and Wilson round top follower.
The factory mags work just fine.
Lubrication used was CLP once again. I may have been overly enthusiastic with it. :grin:
Accuracy was tested offhand in a highly modified weaver :smile:
7 yds, 8rds within .75in
10 yds, 8rds within 1.0 in
15 yds, 8rds within 2.0 in
25 yds, 8rds within 5.0 in
Time elapsed between shots was approximately 1 second. Don't have a timer so this is my best guesstimate. :grin:
Note to self, I wish I could shoot those one or two inch groups everyone else seems to be shooting at 25. Obviously more range time is needed :grin:
