jcc7x7 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I've had the 627 for a week or so and I'm getting ready for ICORE with it etc It was used and not much wear on it. It's a Pro series, trigger is heavy but smooth, so gonna start with a spring kit and go from there. Shot it last week Wednesday only 32 round before the local USPSA club match. Today I shot it in the cold and snow at 25 yds, It shot a 2" group slow fire and at speed was able to keep them all in the A ring with many in the X with the exception of the shots I called out. Very happy so far Load: 38 Short Colt Starline brass (New) WSP ( I know use Federals ) 2.9 grs of Clay Dot 147 gr Bayou (9mm bullets that mic .357) COL 1.150 PF 126 I also shot a bunch of 38 spl. with 160 Bayou's at .358. They shot about the same size group. There was no evidence of any tumbling with either load. Shot a bunch at 50 yds!!!! I need some serious practice for the ICORE near and far. Kept them all in the C and 2 on the D but at least on paper. Hope this is a help for new 38 Short Colt shooters Edited February 14, 2015 by jcc7x7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Be very careful with CLAYS/CLAYDOT. 125PF will work, 130PF and up will get sticky extraction and other problems.....there is lots of data on the forum about this. DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Thanks Doug Don't plan on going any higher and if I do I'll switch to another powder. Used the Clay Dot because I recently acquired 8 lbs and I'm trying it out in different guns to see how it runs etc BTW extraction was nice, turn the gun upside down and they fall out.
