Range Report P08 vs P38

John Sabato · 02-04-2005, 02:07 PM

A six inch group of 3 shots on a military known distance range of 100 yards using a .44 caliber AutoMag pistol won me lunch one afternoon in 1976. They all laughed until the guy on the spotting scope called the first shot as in the black on a 25 yard pistol target... the other two shots were on the paper but not in the black... but I didn't care... I haven't fired that gun for about 15 years... maybe I ought to drag it out of the safe this weekend and dust it off... it is quite a flamethrower with 22 grains of 2400 behind a 240 grain semi-wadcutter....
