Range Report

[Okie-Glocker]

Testing done on 20 March 07 (Glock 34 / KKM match SS barrel)... light wind, overcast, 72 degrees: Note - All strings were 10 shots each except for the last one, which was five shots. The MG 121 seemed to be slightly more accurate than the zero but perhaps it was only in my head since I only fired 50 rounds of that bullet yesterday. Will be back at the range next Monday to test 4.1 / 4.2 / 4.3 grain batches with the MG 121 IFP to see how they do and to work up to 140 PF. I tried to load the bullet longer than 1.110" with the MG 121 but did some testing with dummy rounds and the bullet became stuck in the rifling @ 1.120" and above. Will try another batch at 1.115" but that's about as long as I can load with my particular KKM barrel and these hollow points... YMMV
