I regularly read 3 reloading forums and I'm not sure where I have read these terms about accuracy, so go easy on me.
Anyway I have heard the term "mechanical accuracy" of a pistol, but without any examples to help me understand what I should strive for in accuracy. I have also read that pistol loads cannot be dialed in as rifle loads can because of this mechanical accuracy/inaccuracy. Again, I haven't read any hard numbers such as 3" groups at 25 yards off a sandbag rest is about the best one can expect out of a Glock 34. I have also read from some posters that they have achieved 5 shot groups at 25 yards that form 1 ragged hole.
I have tried six different powders, loaded with trickled charges in .1 grain increments from minimum to maximum, and quite frankly don't know how to judge whether I've attained the best accuracy possible or not. I'm 65 and have rather poor eyesight so I've had younger guys with better eyesight and better shooting skills shoot a number of these test loads, and I can tell you I'm nowhere near 1 ragged hole at 25 yards. The best I have attained is maybe a 3" five shot group at 25 yards.
I have only tried one bullet, a 115 grain CMJ Round Nose from Montana Gold. I have tried the following powders: AA#2, AA#5, Bullseye, Titegroup, Universal and Win 231.
Can you all give me some sort of consensus at what kind of accuracy can be expected from a Glock 34 and the 115 MGs?
