Darrell Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I got a new SA Elite Range Officer 9mm a couple of weeks ago. Before I did any testing, I tightened the bushing to slide fit, and did a 3# trigger job. Below is the results of my test. I used 9 shot groups because the magazine only held 9 and to keep things consistent with the Ransom Rest without changing mags. I used factory ammo and reloads. Bullet Bullet Wt Powder Chg Wt.

DsWright Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 wow this gun didn't like the syntech..... twice the size of nearly all other groups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTaylor Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Wow, lots of good data!I had a 9mm RO for a while that didn’t like coated Bullets either. The barrel had somerough spots, got some leading in very specific locations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Ran some more test with Bayou 147 FP and 3 powders. I liked the 3.3 of sport pistol in my CZ Accushadow, and think I will use 2.9 gr of Tightgroup with this gun. Bullet Bullet Bullet Wt Powder Chg Wt. Primer Case O.A.L Avg E.S. S.D.
