Shooting Artillery Luger at 200 yards
 

Well here are the results:

Artillery Luger with stock at 200 yards.

Bench rest resting gun on jacket .115 grain Winchester FMJ.

I shot a total of 9 FIVE shot groups with rear sight settings

at 200 and 300 meters.

Target size: 2' wide by 3 1/2' high which is too small.

Group Hits Group Size Rear Sight Setting

1 --- 4 --- 29" --- ?

2 --- 3 --- 27.25 --- ?

3 --- 4 --- 15.5 --- 300meters

4 --- 4 --- 27 --- 300

5 --- 3 --- 14.5 --- 200

6 --- 3 --- 25 --- 300

7 --- 4 --- 11.5 --- 300

8 --- 4 --- 16 --- 200

9 --- 3 --- 19.5 --- 200

Total of 32 hits out of 45 shots

Rear sight setting at 200 meters : Average of 5" below the

point of aim.

Rear sight setting at 300 meters: Average of 10.5" above

the point of aim.

Average difference between 200m and 300m settings: 15.5".

Groups size average:

The 4 three hit groups: 21.6"

the 5 four hit groups: 19.8"

In conclusion, I was not able to shoot one group where all

5 shots hit the target.Therefore I will try again with a larger

target.

I would not want to be 200 yards from someone shooting

at me with a stocked Artillery Luger.

I wonder about the effects of these bullets at 200 or +.

Nice report.

Being hit at 200 yards with 9 mm
 

I think you would be trouble if you were hit at 200 yards.

Interesting question.Thank you for your comments.

Nice report. [/QUO

If leaving the muzzle at 335m/s (1099f/s) , it will arrive at 183m (200yards) after 0.66 seconds with a speed 235m/s (771f/s). So a regular 8g bullet will then have an energy of 222 Joule at that range. Wich is about 50% less than when it leaves the muzzle..
If trying the luck at 400m (437.4yards), it will arrive after 1.75 seconds at a speed of 170m/s and have an energy of 116 Joule. ..about the same as a .22 on 50m (54.7yards). ..still awake? ;)

FYI here are the results of shooting an Artillery at 200 yards back in 2008.
Anyone have any additional results?

Sure would be nice to try an Artillery with a 8 power scope at 200 yards.
