I'm shooting more at the moment because I bought a Ruger MK IV Tactical earlier this fall.

I ran about 800 rounds of Winchester Bulk garbage through it to break it in and now doing testing of the various brands and loads I have on hand. Federal bulk is my go-to for general use and I zeroed the gun for it. But I plan on using it as my trapline/hunting pistol for now and I'm trying to find something that consistently shoots MOP/MOG (minute-of-ptarmigan....or grouse head). I've managed to get through all of the HV and target velocity stuff and currently working on subsonic.
