I could use some advice on shooting my Sig a little better. P220 Stainless. I typically have used Remington UMC sometimes AA. And for a while now handloads - 230grn ball, or JHP. wanting to simulate the 'ball' that i have loaded for HD.
At 10 yards the best i can seem to do is about 3-4" groups off hand. And yet i see others shooting one small hole at that distance. One time I did shoot a real small hole with someone's target loads.
I have also shot my friends XD in 45 and did shoot smaller groups. the gun felt 'smaller' in my hands. wondering if a smaller auto would be easier for me to control/point?
Just wondering how to approach improving my accuracy? different ammo? target loads did well with factory recoil spring, but I am not keeping target stuff in my go-to safe. I am thinking it is the way I am gripping the gun. not keeping it steady enough.
the sight picture always looks spot on, and then I am confounded by the shot going 3" here or there.
maybe my slide is a little too loose? Not sure how much play is ok and how much is too much?
I only have about 1700 rounds through it. I would think it has a lot more life in the barrel than that, right?
It is good enough for HD, but I know the gun can do better. I'd like to at least use up more of its potential accuracy.
Any advice on shrinking group size would be appreciated.
