I went to the outdoor range today and burned through about 350-400 rounds of assorted NON +P 38 special rounds. I was using my 3" Model 66-2 and a 2" Model 10 in my daily carry rig.
I was shooting at steel silhouette targets (5) spread across a 60 degree arc within the berm from 7 feet to 25 yards away. I had the worst time getting the steels to fall at much past 15 yards, despite solid hits from the 130 FMJ and 158 LRN.
I was putting cylinder after cylinder full on the targets at 15 yards and 25 yards with consistent clangs and the darned things would just not fall over. Has anyone lese found this to be the case with these anemic target loads?
When I swapped up to +P LSWC-HP I did not have any trouble at 15 yards, but the 25 yard target took 2-3 rapid-fire hits to drop over.
Suggestions welcome.
