I've been having loads of fun with my Black Mamba, shooting our monthly Steel Challenge Matches and have been improving on each match. In March it's time for me to switch guns and start shooting my S&W 617.
Last year I shot it with iron sights. This year I've mounted my C-More 12 MOA red dot sight on it and went out to experiment with a variety of ammo.
I shot Champions, American Eagle, AutoMatch. Eley and Wolf Match Extra. I only have 3 bricks of Wolf but that gives me 2 matches. It shined as the best grouping ammo this time around. Very light recoil and a pleasure to shoot. Not too dirty, I was able to shoot 10 reloads before having to clean the cylinders. ( I take an electric drill with me for fast clean-up between stages.

AutoMatch gave me too many failures to fire so it will be relegated as practice ammo while Champion and Target held their own but required cleaning after only 5 cylinders full. Eley had 2 failures to fires but went off on the second strike. Not match ammo.
CCI Mini Mags and Blazers I have a lot of and they work fine. When I'm out of the Wolf ME I'll probably just go with.
