After putting a couple of hundred hard-won MiniMags through the 87 to "season the barrel", and then playing with odds and ends of ammo to see what "fit best", it is Federal AutoMatch bulk. (just ordered another 1500 rounds)
It was doing well enough at 10 and 15 yards that I blew the last 10 through her at 25 yards.... Was not expecting it to be this good - standing, two-handed.
If you don't mind my asking, where do you shoot?
Ask away - no problem at all.
Winters, I'm at MidState Guns in Coventry, RI where the range is indoors, heated, 25yds max. Cannot recommend it enough, and nice folks there as well. EVERY one must take a range safety test, and memberships are available otherwise it's $25 per hour - hire guns are available.
Summers, usually at the RIDEM range in the Great Swamp. Outdoors, 50yds max, rifles limited to rimfire (although there are rumours about relaxing that) and also has a shotgun range with clay-chucker and an archery range. More military-style than the indoor range, as there are no target rails and the range has to go Cold for target changes, but still friendly until you screw up.
Must take their safety course/test, but otherwise it's free. First come, first served, hour max if there's someone waiting on you.
NEITHER requires or even asks about NRA membership, which is why I go there.
