Sorry got distracted :lol:
Sounds like some fine shooting Sir.

I have a BBS in 41 mag. and the best factory ammo I shot in it, which has been little was Cor bon.
Followed closely by Underwood.
I have never tried any Magtech, but
if NCG, and Tom like it, then I'd say it some pretty good stuff.

Its not made here, I think Brazil, but so was my Taurus .357 revolver (which has been a good firearm). Ive allways prefered Winchester ammunition but its scarce right now. People seem to like Mag tech, and from what Ive seen its good enough for me. In a revolver I no longer have, I remember shooting some Underwood that I think was fairly hot as far as factory ammo goes, because it had some hellacious recoil.

Well the main reason for not knowing the manufacturer is I load all my own ammo, every single cf cal.
The only factory ammo I buy is either 22 lr, and mag. and shotgun shells.
:lol: yes I would imagine the Underwood and cor bon's would be a bit uncomfortable out of a handgun.
I shot neither from my BH, only the BBS, and just to get and idea of how the Henry rifle liked a heavier bullet while I was experimenting with a 270gr mold.
I will tell ya though with the 250gr corbon's and a 1x4 vortex scope the BBS made one ragged hole at 50 yds., I was totally impressed.
I haven't found that accuracy just yet with this bullet but I'm "kinda" close. ;) :D

Mag-Tech ammo in .45 auto is accurate. Like it a lot. I believe I still have some factory ammo of it. Ohh whee, it has been a while since I've shot factory thru my SA 1911-A1.
:o :lol:
Tom, Henry replaced my 44 barrel a couple years ago now, and unless they test fired it before returning.
It hasn't even seen a factory round. ;) :D :D

Randy, My Henry .45 Colt has never seen factory rounds either. Been handloading for it before I bought it. Lead only, no jacketed anything.
