that indicates a gun problem, not a shooter problem. In that, I include gun not set up for the ammo being fired (e.g. 200 gr at 750 fps and using Ordnance spec spring weights).
That could do it as well IM ! It could also be the gun is set up just fine, but the ammo being used is inappropriate ... tomayto ... tomahto ... LOL.
Yeah, I approach this as a system: gun, mag, and ammo.
Either way ... it probably can't be diagnosed shooting WWB ammo ... simply because you could never rule out the ammo. If you send it back to Ruger ... they sure as hell don't use WWB, and I bet the gun works flawlessly with higher quality ammo, as long as it's cleaned and lubed properly.
Agreed. I don't have an SR1911, yet. I don't know if there is a wear in of slide-to-frame and barrel lock-up wear-in. I would expect it. You don't get a gun so fitted up at Ruger prices. If I wanted to use WWB, I'd figure out a set-up for that. I would not use WWB for diagnosis.
When I sent a P91 back to Ruger for inaccuracy issues, the ammo that they used was absolute top quality ... from what I remember it was top line Hydrashocks. I specifically remember because I thought ... WOW ... could you have possibly used a MORE EXPENSIVE AMMO to test this thing ???
Even with that expensive ammo .... it shot 5 inch groups from a rest at 15 yards ... this is after they told me on the phone that their expectation was 3 inch groups at 25 yards ... yet it was still deemed to have 'met specifications'. It was shipped back to me and I sold it without ever shooting it again.
Wow. I would have elevated that.
