I haven't been able to get out and test my loads for a while, so today I made some time to test some of my loads. Following are the actual test results, but I will also add some of the actual scanned targets once I had some time to scan the results. A bonus scan will be a test I did at 50 yards. This was not one of my best grouping loads, but I had it on hand and decide to test the accuracy at 50 yards. I was actually impressed wit the result, but you will have to wait for the posting of the scans to see the 50 yard result.
In the future I will probably take all my best grouping loads an test them all at 50 yards. It will be interesting to see how my top 357sig loads perform against the top 40s&w loads.
Following are the test results:
