Diagnose A Problem

Well, I took the P-08 out this week with some winchester ammo and the gun behaved a lot better although it wasn't perfect. About every 2nd clip or so I would have a jam where the bullet didn't chamber all the way and I had to finish pushing it into the chamber or it would stove pipe on me.

I have been collecting my brash with the intent on reloading and lost half of it when the shell cases ended up in front of my station. The range dosn't allow you to go fishing for brass if it lands in front of the bench. I understand that it is for safty reasons, but still it irks me a bit that I lost half of my brass.

I was actually pleased with myself, I kept almost all my shots in the black at about 10 yards. I will have to find a different range as it was a bit dark and I had trouble seeing the sites.

I would like to thank everyone who provided advice.

Joe,

I don't know how difficult it is to order ammo in Calif. But Samco in Fla. has Finnish Lapua/Sako surplus NC/BE ( non corrosive/Berdan primed ), that shoots real nice in my 7.65's. Also try using a MecGar mag!
