[QUOTE="spence, post: 3322240, member: 45320"] In my "most perfect" world, I would have had, say, an M&P compact to get a 3.6" barrel, and around a 4.6/4.7" in a Sig 320 or the full size LTT. Probably would have bounced up to the 5" Glock barrel or 5.1" threaded 92 barrel at that point, but that would have been 7 barrels to shoot through, and that would have been a lot. After the first iteration of this adventure, firing, IIRC, 775 rounds in a couple hours, I decided 6 rounds per barrel length/load was more than sufficient for the task at hand, and it was a much more manageable day even with the less conducive weather. Another thing I found interesting is there was only two rounds that came in over their advertised velocities. Magtech and Federal Champion. For that matter, the Champion came in hotter than American Eagle, at least when shot the same day. AE came in a little higher today. I'm almost tempted to get some more of it since Academy sells the stuff and see if it was a fluke box. Same thing with the Magtech. I was sorely disappointed by the numbers turned by Fiocchi, as it's one of my favorite practice rounds when the price is right, and Geco 115 gr. I don't typically buy Lawman, but the numbers it put out were less than amazing, as well. In relative terms the Winchester NATO still doesn't come terrible close to the advertised, but for a 124, it's certainly still on the hot end. What impressed me the most was the steel cased Tula. Some of the best numbers of the bunch, and complete garbage for ammo. However, I shot a 25 yard slowfire with the stuff after I was finished with everything else, and all things considered, the stuff isn't inaccurate, either. The takeaway for me is that I may tend to err towards one load over another a little more than I have. Not by much, just if all things are otherwise equal, some may be less apt to find their way into my ammo closet. I also want to get all the random stuff I have managed to accumulate shot up because I like to keep it down to just a couple flavors of 9mm around. It's nice to have a couple options that are relatively affordable at a brick and mortar, like the Browning load at Academy for 16.7 cents a round, but it's not the first thing I want to shoot. Rebates getting brass cased ammo to under 14 cents a round are nice, too, but it throws a bit of a kink in my system. I'm weird like that. [/QUOTE]
