    Seeking Your Comments

    H4350 Comments Much appreciated comments from both of you. I'll try another H4350 load by increasing a grain or two and see how it performs. H4350 produced a good tight group when I shot a 120 grain Nosler BT. So once again thank you.

Prior to shooting the pistol a 1911A1 Springfield was clean and...
