Unique now TiteGroup

 For decades I've been loading my own 45acp ammo using 125gr Hornady XTP bullets and Unique powder. I've found this combination to be of good and consistent velocity. As of late that powder has been very difficult to find. Yesterday, at the range, I compared loads using TiteGroup and W231. For the most part they were comparable, except that I would get the occasional flyer with W231 and not TiteGroup. Since I was alternating the 2 loads, I'm fairly certain it wasn't me. I'll run at least 50 more with TiteGroup, and if the results are the same, It'll be my powder in the future.

The Hornady XTP is actually 185 grains. Major brain dead moment there. I don't shoot 125 grain bullets in anything. 

The load I've been using was determined decades ago for my first 45, a used Llama. When I bought a new Kimber, it naturally shot tighter groups with the same load, so no need to change, until now.

Celebration

 Most everyone in my little part of the country is very happy that Trump won, (the Boss actually jumped up and down with joy) that GOP will control the Senate and maybe the House. This puts a bump in the road, slowing the slip into just another socialist/communist country.

I don't under stand why anyone would vote for a candidate in the Dem/socialist/communist party.

I celebrated today by spending a couple hours launching lead 25 yards down range. Hi-Power 9mm, Hi-Power 40S&W, and 1911 45acp. Even fired a few at 50 yards. Marksmanship wasn't too bad considering it's been over a month.

Also ran 25 through the lever action 454 at 75 yards off hand. Not bad at all with the red dot sight.

An elderly man told me that the 50 yard bank is actually 75 yards. Now I'm curious. I'll bring my laser range finder next time.

Surprised

 I must admit that I'm surprised at the presidential election results. My gut said that Trump would win the popular vote, but it would have to be huge to overcome the Democratic games shoving things in their direction.  

Oh well, let the lawsuits and riots begin.
