Once a year, I take my little S&W Airweight (2") to the range for a function test. Normally I use my (semi-hot) JHP handloads. Surpisingly, I can knock down three and very often four, of the 25 yd plates (out of five shots). Last week, I tested some (110gr) Critical Defense loads in non +P as well as +P power. I missed every single time i shot.... tried it over and over and never hit a plate. Then I loaded my (158gr) handloads and hit 4 out of 5 two times. So I went back to the range with some BIG pieces of paper and some LARGE targets (at 25yds) and tried to see where the Critical Defense loads were hitting.... The answer was "no where near where I was aiming"....In many cases they weren't even getting on the normal size target paper (about 12" square). Then I tried my handloads again and got very respectable results. I know that I should be shooting these at 7 yds and not 25yds, but I figure 'accuracy' is 'accuracy'. I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on why I'm finding this 'phenomenon"; could it be that the difference in bullet weights are doing it...???
