[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3834900, member: 15054"] I went mowing and tree cutting yesterday and got a chance to shoot my lightened HI-Point 40 and 45 handguns. I ran 2.7 gr and 3.0 gr of Bullseye powder and soft cast powder coated 180 gr bullet in the 40. Cycled and hit perfect. I ran the same Bullseye powder and same 2.7 and 3.0 gr load in the 45 acp but with soft cast powder coated 200 gr bullets. Cycled and hit just fine. Real fun to shoot. I did recover a couple bullets that hit the steel tank we shoot at. I did not check velocity just function and recoil is what I went for. I was shooting the 3.0 gr 40 load and got a pain in my right shoulder like a nerve pinch or twinge. I shot again and it was a sharp nerve sting again and I pulled the trigger a 3rd time and it did it again and I thought BS something is biting me. I reached around and swatted and smeared whatever it was on my shoulder. Looked like a red and black ant bigger than those red Army ants. Little bugger hit me the same time I pulled the trigger :) Recovered 45's are the 2 left ones and the 40 is on the right.
