What you are seeing seems to be the average experience with the gun. I bought mine last year and thought something was defective because my plain looking box stock Colt Series '70 Gold Cup will shoot the pants off of my 945 with all of it's bells and whistles.

It really does defy logic because of all of the hand fitted components that suposedly goes into making the 945, it really should do better. But... I'm still glad I bought it, if nothing else the "oh wow" apperance makes it fun to have.

If you search this forum, there are numerous threads discussing the 945's accuracy. It is a picky gun with factory loaded ammo.

Like rbert0005 mentioned, I too got good results with W231. I use a heavier bullet, but powder charge is almost identical. It also fires very well from my Gold Cup and was the loading I took to the range with me when I decided to compare the two guns.
