Well, I finished up the range outing that was cut short! And I did use up the 23 remaining rounds of Minuteman Munitions without incident. Not the most accurate ammo either which, after 500 round in multiple guns, I find to be the trend with it. Here are the numbers at various ranges (combined from the two trips):
5-6 on 7.2x12" small silhouette steel 18 yards
4-6 on other 18 yard steel (8" round)
2-6 on the 25 yard gong
3-6 on the popper @ 30 yards away
2-4 on the 8" square knockdown target at 35 yards
1-5 on the 8" round knockdown target at 35 yards
2-5 on the 7.2x12" small silhouette knockdown target at 35 yards
3-3 on the 50 yard steel
The only difference being the popper was one yard further on the second trip.
Next load up was Federal - 100g - CC BallistiClean. With frangible ammo, I like to get up close and personal with the steel but I did go once around the horn to test accuracy. A perfect run would be six (good) shots on paper, three hits on each static steel and one on each knock-down for a total of 24 rounds. Here are the six shots on paper @14 yads:
Around the steels I went and I only had one miss!! ---on the small silhouette knockdown at 35 yards!! Here are three on the gong at 25 yards:
And 3/3 on the far steel at 50 yards:
Looking at the numbers ( combined/all three loads), I had no misses at 50 yards = 18/18!
With the remaining 25 rounds, I got up close to the large steel silhouette and practiced double and triple taps!
Totals for the gun:
357Sig: 150 rounds representing 3 offerings
40S&W: 150 rounds representing 3 offerings
This is the only pistol I have with switch barrels that has the same round count with each!!!
