Pleased to announce the old Clays Powder ignited and those .40's went downrange
w/o a hitch. Can't say much for my accuracy even at ten yards and why are the
bullet holes jagged ? I only shot the six test rounds, did they tumble ?
Oh well I wanted to prove if the powder and those lead bullets would work and
I did.

Don't think I ever shared what the pistol side of the range looked like ?

And here's my .40 Bersa.

Now on one of those cold blustery winter days I'll be confident to load some more
of those mystery lead .40 bullets.

Don't know about Clays but maybe bump it another 0.5 and see if the holes are round.

Little hard to tell on the Dirty Bird, but since the hole in the 9 ring at 6 looks pretty round I don't believe they were tumbling on the way there but they may have been right on the edge of stability and impact caused them to tumble. Sort of like some 5.56 projectiles do. Gas is right in thinking that a little more push might fix it.

I have the Bersa in 45, love the gun.
