Range Report - Magazine & Springs...

[Thor]

Johnny, glad to see that the new springs worked well for you. It's great when a plan comes together! The observation of velocity variations due to spring tension is an interesting one. Lonnie Zimmerman and I noticed a funny phenomenon with his P38, it shot better with weaker spring that the it did when the stronger over power springs were put in. I am sure in that case it was the way the gun was locking up but you would think the stronger spring would make the lock up more consitant and the gun more accurate. This is were field testing is a real benefit and you really get to enjoy the other side of them, shooting them. I am looking forward to doing some future accuracy testing with the 124 gr GS bullet. I really like they way they perform on liquid targets and the tests I have fun to see if I could stop the HP from expanding with shooting them through old levi pants that were totally worn out. They expanded beatifully every time on the back side of the levis. The concept of two diamter on the bullet to better align the bullet seems interesting from an accuracy standpoing. I think I will compare them to the same weight FMJ bullet.
