Question **UPDATE**Model 41 - which ammo works best for you?
I just picked up an A series Model 41 from the early/mid 70s (I'll get my ship date request in as soon as I can), with a 5.5 inch barrel.

Wanted to ask the forum what target/match/std velocity ammo have people had the best success with? I do not intend to shoot any high velocity stuff out of it.

First trip to range tells me that it likes Federal Gold Medal Target, hates Wolf target std velocity, and gets along with CCI std velocity. Next up I'll be taking out some old Eley stuff I had laying around.

**Update: Who ever said that it wouldn't like Eley - You were 100% right, didn't like any flavor of Eley!

Tried Winchester target ammo rated at 1200fps, it was ok. But then I got around to CCI Green Tag (Found some on a trip to Erie, PA -> it loved it!

So, as long as I can find it, it will be CCI Green Tag all the way, followed by plain old CCI std velocity.
