Tough for a bullet to "setback" when there's 8.5 grains of powder under it - that's a pretty full case. ???

At 15 yards, it's dead center, but at 20 yards, it's shooting left ? How far left at 20 yards ? Group sizes at 15 and 20 yards ? Wonder what's going on from 15 to 20 yards ? Eyesight ?

Error 2F176/1.

The only time I flew with a firearm and ammo, I went down to the airport, the day before, and discussed their regulations with them. Saved a LOT of trouble the next day, when I was flying And, that was in New York State.

15,000 rounds isn't too bad

Bigger magwell ....

This is the best way to do it. Just don't forget to see where the bullets are hitting at 5 -50 yards

Do you know the PF on those "std pressure 180 gr's" ? I thought those were generating PF's around 180 or so ???? If they are that powerful, they could be inducing a leftward pull - many shooters are loading and shooting PF 140, or so - that's what I'd try - more like a 9mm. See if less powerful loads make the "left shots" migrate back to center. If they don't, I'd adjust the sights

Can you get your hands on some sub-Major .40 loads ? Try them and see if it's you or the gun. I have to disagree with Memphis - you and your friends are Glock-friendly; Can't believe its all of you pulling the gun to the left. Probably, IMHO, the sights. BUT, try some light loads in the gun, and see if Memphis is right

No reason to load short to make them fit a gauge - the whole idea is to get them to chamber in your gun .... Why the huge difference in your chamber and your gauge is another story - be nice if you can determine how to rectify the discrepancy, so you can rely on the gauge

Any other shooting sport - trigger time

Have you tried different ammo, and benching the gun - shoot from a very secure base so the gun cannot move, and squeeze very gently ? My BHP will shoot different ammo to different POI.

Oh, sorry, thought you said you were "jamming the bullet into the rifling" with a semi-auto pistol. I'd be afraid to try that, due to possible pressure increases.

I thought California was muzzle loading, ONLY

Yeah, half the berms face east and half face west I shot there early one morning just as the sun came up over the berm, directly in my eyes ....

Either the sunlight (lighting conditions hitting your front sight), Or Your sight is loose (I had that problem with my Gold Cup 10 years ago)

That's a real personal decision - ending early on the last day means you have some time before they announce the trophies

You are talking about semi-automatic handgun ? Not a bolt rifle ?

No problem for bay shooting, but for target shooting, I'd stick with single head stamps.

Lighten up the load a bit, and work it up slowly. I run a lot of PF 110 loads for my Kel-Tec ; they're Lots of Fun to shoot

What was velocity with the E3? I never trust a 5 shot reading thru the chrono - I will start with 5 to get "in the neighborhood" but then rely on a 20 shot thru the chrono for final results

I cannot imagine a pistol shot dropping 41" at 20 yards, no matter what you did differently

My bullets hit the same spot at 14.14 and 20.00 yards
