Urbanti Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Just got around to trying 38 Super 151g rainier fmj bullets (.356") in new brass with 4.3g Bullseye and cci primers. OAL = 1.259". Shot it out of a 5" steel Kimber 38 Super limited 10 gun (oem barrel, no compensator, no optics, etc). Gun is normally accurate, today couldn't get 3 rounds to group within 3" at 10 yards. As a control I then shot my .40 Edge, which grouped very nicely as usual (thus proving it wasn't like a REALLY bad day for the shooter ). Has anybody ever had a load that performed this abysmally? Crimp was very modest, just enough to take the belling out. Resized with an EGW u-die, seated and crimped with Dillon dies. Any insights would be appreciated, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 plated bullets and fast powders sometimes give shot gun type groups out of some guns. all my guns shoot plated bulelts fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanti Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Follow up Post: Must be the 151 grain plated Rainier bullets, because the gun shot pretty big groups with a variety of other powders as well, including WW231 and VV 3n37, although the Bullseye loads were by far the worst.
