VOPO P.08 S/38 from 1938

I just got back from trying the Parabellum out. As expected, it does not do well with lead bullets and I think the shallow rifling of the P.08 is not making the gun a perfect candidate for lead bullets. I have also noticed radically changed POI in between different bullets.

The 124 gr Sako FMJ bullets that do well in my 1942 byf are also grouping well in this old lady.

I shot two ISSF targets at 25m with ten rounds each and after a hard week of work had both targets with 86%.

That is good enough for me.
