Nov. 3 update:
I was able to shoot these same loads today in two different revolvers. First a 1978 Smith and Wesson Model 14-4, 6":
Then a 1962 Smith and Wesson Model 28-2, 6":
The only thing I demonstrated today was that a shaky old man was doing the shooting. That may have been the case with the pair of targets that I posted originally.
So my apologies to Servicios Aventuras small pistol primers for inferring that they may adversely affect accuracy. At least if there is an accuracy difference between SA and CCI primers, it will likely require a machine rest to prove it.
The Servicios Aventuras hardness issue persisted. Shooting both revolvers in single action mode, out of the 24 shots with the Model 14, there were 3 failures to fire on the first strike. All three of those ignited on the second strike. There were no FTFs with the Model 28, and no FTFs with the CCI primers.
Again, thanks for the interest. I appreciate those who posted comments.
