Any new results to report?

Hi:

I'd be interested in seeing how your pistol shoots at 25 yards before I'd expect it to really group at 100 or 200 yards.

I have a handloading formula for my LP-08 (1916 DWM) that will group with six to eight touching at 25 yards. I haven't tried it at longer distances yet, so I don't really know how well it would do "a way out there".

The 115 gr. Winchester you quote above, is it the White Box stuff? According to Winchester's site, this is loaded to 1,190 fps. and, for me, does nothing but blow all over a target at 25 yards, if I can even manage to keep it on the paper. Its speed seems to be way too fast for the rifling twist of a Luger to adequately stabilize.

For what its worth and those up to par on I phones, there is an ap you can download "ballistic calculator" - web page igor@borisov.mobi that helps determine ballistics on bullets with weather factors and other variables. I use it on some of my rifles as a starting point of where the bullet will land at certain distances. Its fun to play with while out shooting. Once all variables are plugged in it gives you a table with (Bullet speed,Energy, time of flight, vert correction, vertical MOA and horizontal corrections) at different yards.

There are a couple of dufferent app's one can download with this type of features.

Just thought I'd throw that out there while talking about ballistics.
