Just a follow-up on the Georgia-Arms 10mm refered to above. On 6 Jan. I was on my way to Birmingham to drop off a computer, so I stopped by the range. I had some of the Georgia-Arms 10mm ammo, so I tried something I have intended to do since I got my G 20. I had an NRA silouette target- B 34, I think- 14x23 and the figure is about the size of Tattoo ("de plane, de plane!). I set it up on the 100 yard target and braced my wrist on a sandbag. I fired 6 rounds, holding the front sight at the top of the target. Two rounds hit the bottom of the target sheet, under the silouette. Three rounds hit 6"-8" under the bottom edge of the target, two under the bottom left of the silouette and one under the bottom right. The remaining round was 8" to the right of the target sheet, about at the vertical midpoint. Not bad, I thought- wonder what a hotter load would do?
Two days later I went to pick up the PC, so I again stopped off at the range and fired 10 rounds of the Doubletap 180 grain FMJ at 1250 fps. (I had cleaned the barrel Thursday night). The first round hit midway up the silouette, abut 4" to the left. "I'm really going to wax it," I thought. I had backed the target with a 42" diameter cardboard circle. Three of the remaining 9 rounds hit the cardboard- all to the right of the target sheet. One round hit the dirt to the left front of the target. I have no idea where the rest hit.
I am really surprised at the results of this "experiment." Any thoughts? The Doubletap has been very accurate in the 7 to 12 yard sessions.
