Great numbers 01Deuce, It would be nice to pull one or two of those to document and see what they are loaded with...

Here are results of 5 different guns. I also tested the Underwood 165gr gold dot in 3 different guns. I was a little surprised with the results.

Thanks for another good range report and comparison across the various guns. Interesting results for barrel length and makes.

If I recall the Delta Elite has a bore of 0.3990" / The S&W 0.4000", can't speak for the others.
