Maybe a new powder too.
Testing out my new RMR MWs against my other practice bullets.
Had good results all around, even the plated 147s shot ok today.
Shot 3-3 shot groups with each. GFL brass with Tula primers, 4.0 W231 unless noted.
Best groups were with the Sinterfire 100 frangible at .8” @ 50 yards (4.4 W231), but that’s not an economical practice bullet.
RMR 124 Match Winners 1.8” with 4.0 W231, 1.1” with 5.0 Power Pistol.
Xtreme 124 PFP 1.6”
Winchester 130 JFP (obsolete .38 Super bullet) 1.8”
147 PRN 1.8” eta, that’s a Berry’s 147.
I’ll try the other bullets with PP, but the RMR MWs and PP will be my go to ‘hard head’ and practice load.
I like the large, sharp meplat and the heavy jacket.
Today’s lineup, RMR MW, Xtreme 124, 100 Sinterfire, Berry’s 147, Win 130.
