Changing of the Guard

Guy thanks for sharing your info load. Just remembered to look here my self :lol: I had picked up some of the Berry's 185 so I will give them a try. Was looking for a lighter load to shoot in a Kimber compact stainless 4 in. bbl. Thanks Dan.

I've bumped it up to 6.0 grains of Bullseye recently and it's working great.

Thanks for the update I'll try 5-6 grs and see how it does. Dan.

Wow! I can see why you're so happy to retire your old one Guy..... from the looks of those groups I'd say you had one of those "that was easy" buttons from Staples!! Or was it the hand loads!

A buddy and I took our .45 Kimber 1911's to the range yesterday afternoon. It was about 35 degrees and damp out. Ugh. Something real nice about handling a good 1911 though. We shot groups at 7 yards with 230 gr fmj ammo:

My group with my Kimber:

My group with his Kimber:

Ya, I know, only 7 yards... But it was chilly, and we left after some short range drills. Maybe 50 rounds each or so.
