Greetings All!
I took my 97B out to the range at Sleepy Creek, WV last weekend and had a great time. The official reason to go was to just spend a day breaking clay birds and tin cans. Being a reloader, however, I always have an additional agenda. This one was to see how Ranier plated bullets work in the 97. I was shooting both their 185 grain truncated cone and their 200 gr. round nose. Both fed flawlessly and shot very accurately, but hey! This is a 97B, one of the most accurate .45s there is, right?
Anyway, we had a great day. I managed to hit a target that was set up at 200 yards. Admitidly, it took me 6 shots to figure out the lob trajectory and the Kentucky windage.
