Who wants to go to a temple of doo? Isn't that kinda gross?
Fluffielady n in-laws roamed to the inner sanctum of Pacifica to sell a bit of goods accumulated through the years. I went to snap caps at the monthly casual shoot, it wasn't as casual as back in the day .22 palma matches. The shooter isn't casual, but the scorer is, sitting on a lounge chair right next to the shooter with the casual glance onto the spotting scope while sipping iced tea.
I went and chrono'd a few new loads:
Para P-16, 4.6gr. Titegroup, 180gr. JHP Montana Gold = 871.49 fps / 21.45 SD It shot ~6" high and slightly to the right (1-2 O'clock), 8-ring on a 25 yard bullseye @ 25 yards. 6 O'clock hold. This woulda been a minor power factor load @ 156(?!)
Para P-16, 4.6gr. Titegroup, 180gr. Lead RNFP Bear Creek = 960.17 fps / 13.15 SD This shot 7-8" high and slightly to the left (11 o'clock), 7-6 ring on a 25 yard bullseye @ 25 yards. 6 O'clock hold. Major PF @ 172.
S&W 686 Federal Hi-Shok, 147 JHP +P+, 971.63 fps / 27.45 SD Slightly high (9-10 ring) with a 6 O'clock hold on a 25 yard bullseye @ 25 yards. PF-142
S&W 686 125gr Lead Bear Creek RNFP, 4.2 Gr. HP-38. 708.48fps / 36.85 SD. Center Hold, shot a little low (9-10 ring) on a 25 yard bullseye @ 25 yards. PF-88 (hahaha)
Lead flies faster than jacketed, now my new conundrum deals with the para. I either need a taller front sight, or file the rear sight down. The Rear sight is bottomed out already. Oi, more crap n go through, all in the name of hitting the middle.
Da in-laws have been working a bit on modifying the haus a little. I need to take pics, doh!
