Ok guys, i have seen thousands of threads of people testing their .45 acp handload @ 25 yards and never follow up on how they group @ 50 yards.
Is that all you guys load for is 25 yards?
Its been my experience over the years that what works @ 25 yards doesn't necessarily and automatically work @ 50 yds.
If you think i'm full of obama matter, take that 1911 out and setup some targets @ 50 yds. and i guarantee you will be back in the loading room after the first clip. Can i get an amen here from you ole-timers.
my best load is 4.7gn. wst/200gn missouri bullet co./7.5gn aa#5/same bullet.
@ 25 yds they group max spread 1.623"(wst) 1.972"(aa#5)
@ 50 yds. wst config. 1.888. aa#5 1.394".
get your 25 yarder to hit like that @ 50 yards n you've got yerself sumptin.
just because it hits @ 25 yards doesn't mean anything. i can pitch a rock @ 75 feet and hit sumptin. but it doesn't necessarily mean i am using my full potential.
the 1911 is too good of a weapon not to be used @ full potential.
ask any ole-timer.
sorry about the rant but i had to get it off my chest.....
