Accuracy is acceptable considering it is standard ex-mil configuration with the horrible spire front sight and V rear - my aging eyes have trouble with those.


Do you have access to Federal Power-Shok 180gr ammo (blue box stuff)? If so I'm getting a 5 shot average of 2509fps at the muzzle from my 17 1/2"bbl for you to compare to.


That's not bad - I've got a max. listed of just under 2800fps for a 180gn in a 24inch barrel (from ADI reloading data). I think I gotta buy a chronograph now - too many unanswered questions starting to pile up.

That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied.

Well?
