The bullets I used to use are long out of production so, if I were setting up one of these pistols again, I would likely try the Lyman #358091 150grain wadcutter bullet. You will shoot a lot of those five shot groups fine tuning so you have an excuse to do lots of shooting.įor me I found that swaged 148grain hollow base wadcutter bullets produced the best results. The pistol will be shooting five shot strings so shoot five shot groups. This pistol is designed and intended for 25metre target shooting so do all your group shooting at 25metres. If you are below the maximum listed loading, which you almost certainly will be, then work up group shooting from an arm rest or machine rest and find out what your peak accuracy point is. Once you have reliable function then check for accuracy.The blow-back action of the automatic pistol needs a loading sufficient to function the action reliably. Work up your loads until you are getting 100% reliability. Do not attempt to use minimum loads of powder to reduce recoil, that only works in a revolver.Seat the wadcutter bullet a little above the case mouth.To get one of these pistols really working well there are four simple things I learned to do that produced the results I wanted. However, in my experience in order to get reliable feeding with this pistol, and to maximize accuracy, one had to reload. Listed velocity was 770fps with a 148 grain wadcutter lead bullet. 38 Special Mid-Range wadcutter target ammunition. 38 Special Mid-Range wadcutter ammunition that had to be used. This problem was exacerbated by the flat nosed shape of the. The disadvantage of this was that the magazine needed to align the cartridge at as close to that barrel line as possible. Instead the pistol functioned as a simple blow-back action, the advantage of this being that the barrel could be kept in alignment throughout the cycling of the action. 38 Special Mid-Range version the top of the barrel did not have locking lugs to engage in the slide and the toggle beneath the barrel did not pull the rear of the barrel down. The Browning action requires that the barrel be moved out of alignment, and that introduces a potential for misalignment to the detriment of accuracy. When a Browning action operates it recoils a short distance before the toggle linkage beneath the breech of the barrel trips and pulls the rear of the barrel downwards, unlocking it from the slide and aligning the breech with the magazine. In addition to the tighter tolerances we expect to find in Colt Gold Cup National Match pistols Colt decided to eliminate the potential accuracy problems that can be created by the normal Browning recoil operation by eliminating it. Everything was done to maximise accuracy.
38 Special Mid-Range was not a conventional Colt 1911. The pistol looks as good as new although the condition of the box gives its age away.
