The difference in trigger pull was obvious but I don't know exactly how much. I've been meaning to buy a trigger pull gage, but it seems as though I forget about it until I have a use for one.
Distance was ten paces again and the same older box of Remington 158 gr LRN that I was shooting last time. Other than a couple a fliers, the group is much tighter than the last time.
The middle target was Frankford Arsenal 67 dated surplus 130 gr FMJs that my uncle had also given me. He is a collector more than a shooter and he gave me several large wooden boxes of bullets, brass and some molds that were my grandfather's last year.
The 130s didn't group very well, but they all went bang.
The M&P spends most of the time in my truck and I wanted to run a couple of magazines of 147 gr, FMJFPs through it. That was a two handed hold at 20 yds. Too easy.
There's four holes in the IDPA target in the "head/neck" area. I'd backed up to 25 yds with the 442 and the Remington ammo to see if I could squeeze off a head shot at that distance. The fifth round was off the cardboard by about an inch and a half.
I'm looking forward to seeing what it will do with some 125 gr. JHPs next time out. I though they were in my bag, but I'd left them on my bench.
Some days ya just got to go out and make some noise.
It's been a busy week and I needed a break this morning.
