And for your information. I am not a fan of Fiocchi. You can get 3 well grouped shots and 2 flyers in one 5 shot string.


Edit. Wrong quote. It should have been Don Voigt's. Sorry.
Kurusu,

Hi, its been a while.

I bet with some Power Pistol powder, you could tighten those groups considerably. Try 5.1 to 5.5 grains and find your sweet spot. Also, what bullet are you using and at what C.O.A.L.?

With a bench rest position, hand held over a sand bag, I'm sure an excellent shot like you could hold the "X" ring with no problem.

Hi back to you. I would have tried Power Pistol already. If it was for sale here.

COL was 1,1 with RG (Spanish brand) bullets.

Kurusu,

Congratulations on that find, as they look quite a bit like the original DWM TC bullet!!

I bet a 29mm O.A.L. would be about perfect for them!

Is their weight consistent?

Do you know if they are available in the U.S.?

Weight was 90% consistent. I weighted each and everyone of them and tossed 10% that were either more or less than half a gr from 124.

Have no ideia if they are available in the USA, but I doubt it.
