PPCSHOOTER:

There is something wrong with Hornady's 148 gr HBWC ??

It is pretty hard to screw up a swaged bullet and that is what the Hornady bullet is.

Note I said that when the gun is well confined on bags the groups are round. It is only when shooting in my hand that I get vertical stringing. And yes, the bullet is slightly below flush with a roll crimp to allow easy entry into the chamber. I only included the loading data to point out what the load was so that I did not get a course on reloading for this unusually semi-auto gun.

I still think it has to do with my hold and the extremely slow bullet velocity. I shoot all other handguns I own without a flinch and in acceptable grouping if the guns are up to it. This is the only gun that gives me this problem. So in this regard I have ordered Pachmyr rubber grips (like I have on lots of my other guns) and will give them a try. Maybe I'm wrong and it really is the Hornady bullets so if the grips fail I'll try changing bullets too and investigate my reloading of this cartridge.

Thanks for the input.
