Yeah, steel case. Yeah, Russian. Yeah, one-handed. But, hey. Great price point at about ten bucks a box of fiddy. So I figured I'd figure to see whether my Springer milspec would run it. Short answer, yes, it does. Its reputation, the Springfield 1911, is that it eats anything. This box held about the 500th round I've shot out of this pistol since I bought it. Out of 500 rounds of four kinds of ammo, so far: it eats everything. No stove pipes. No fail to feed. No fail to eject.
I'd gone to shoot the last part of this current Bullseye with my GP100 .357mag with the Stealie gripz. Thought I'd warm up on the .45. Turns out the .45 with what ever ammo is much more pleasant to shoot than the American Eagle .357mag I'd selected. One would think that Rooskie ammo in the Holy US 1911 would somehow suffer tissue rejection at the worst, or at the least we'd see some disagreements with respect to something or other. But that was not the case. This ammo was as accurate and predictable as the American Eagle I'd shot last time. Who knew?
Were this to have been in a magazine or something, I would have chronied it to see. But it's not, so I didn't. Several websites list it as 850 fps, which is what J. Moses B. had in mind when he led us to the promised land. When you examine all 50 rounds below, you'll see that the ammo is better than I. I think it prints slightly lower than the American Eagle .45acp I've shot mostly. However, when the casual observer examines the target, he or she would find that when and if the shooter does his part, this ammo is very consistent at 15 yards. Since it's so inexpensive, I'm going to shoot some more of it.
Yeah, it's upside down. I've not got the hang of my elf-sized scanner. So sue me.
.357 report will be down in Bullseye when I make the post.
