Test groups

Here we go again! I'll phrase it a different way: I like a gun to shoot where I point it. Very often the gun is not pointed exactly at the X ring (even though I prayed the previous night), because I'm not a machine rest. Most shooters generally know when they let off a shot what they feel they did. ...

Petri - You are right, and I completely agree that there are very few shooters in this world that can shoot off hand to match the factory's test targets at 25m. Others - no need for name calling. Follow this logic closely.... need to have an open mind before you read this: 1) Gun comes to you from f...

If factory test targets are not important (and "daft" to put any weight on them) why do the factories bother to supply them? Maybe I am mistaken, but I was assuming that these guns are .22LR for which match grade ammo is tried and true. I hardly think that the factory would use lower grade...

Re: FWB AW93

[quote="Fortitudo DeiI would be surprised if there will be any difference in either the appearance of the pistol or the size of the test fire group over the "current" AW93 (my group measures 15mm at its widest. Ten shot test at 25m I think). quote] A 10 shot 15mm test target group at ...

FWB AW93

Do you have a link to some good pictures of this gun?

What kind of groups may we expect on the test targets that come with the guns?

Thanks.

Source for Walther GSP

Hi Racedriver,
Try Earl's for Walther GSPs.
He has a great selection and is wonderful to deal with. He will even preset your two stage trigger to whatever configuration you want.

Primer preference for .32 S & W Long

I know there are many opinions about which primers ignite more uniformly etc..
In fact I got two opposite answers from two different people at the local gun shop.
So the question is, "what is the best small pistol primer for loading .32s for serious target shooting"? Thanks.

Pilkguns - totally agree with you.
The Euro will have to stay down for a while before importers can catch up and prices begin to go down, if at all. I do not believe that the current change of only 6 to 7% will be passed on to the consumer.

Bill and Tor, thank you for your replies.

Who sells the H & N bullets in USA? Looks like that coated bullet might be the ticket.
