Bullseye 1911 S&W

[Smith&Winchester]

Hi,
A while back I bought this Crimsom Trace S&W 1911 from a member of the forum (minus the crimson trace grips) for the purpose of making myself a bullseye gun to replace my Les Baer. Well...I finally did the work on the gun to accurize it..(elimination of "slop" mostly)...besides a couple springs, a Briley Bushing is the only added part (besides the red dot...of course!). I haven't done extensive testing yet, or any load development. As you can see, the dot isn't even zeroed yet. I have only test fired it, pre-sighted it in, and shot one 30 round local match with it so far. I cleaned and lubed it tonight, and stepped outside in the snow and fading daylight to shoot a 10 round "keeper" target. Here it is..... thought you might be interested in seeing what this S&W 1911 managed to do....I'm pretty enthused!

Have you tried that load at 50yds? I'm always looking for new recipes to try in my LB PII.

 

[Smith&Winchester]

Yes..I use this load at 50 yards too. One thing, of course, it is a light "bullseye" load and won't function a gun with a defense or "ball" recoil spring in it.

Thanks. If I ever come into some clays i'll give this a try. Currently I'm using 185gr Hornady XTPs with 4.0 of N310. Mainly because I had 500 from the coupon with my press. I'm getting about a 3" group at 50 out of my hands so I can't complain. I'm also trying 185 LSWCs from Zero with 3.8 of Bullseye and getting almost as good.
