[QUOTE="David E, post: 1439065, member: 1013"] A few years ago, in my quest to win a State IDPA title in each of the (then) 4 divisions, I bought up some factory PMC .38 ammo jacketed 130 RN. I decided to chrono them, as the match was in Wisconsin. Imagine my surprise when the ammo did NOT make minor power factor! :eek: Of course, I didn't think to check it until a day before leaving for the match. I didn't have time to reload, or find and check any suitable factory .38 special ammo. Now, I knew the Match Director and happened to mention this to him, He told me not to worry about it, as they would NOT chrono ammo at the match. But I couldn't do that. I [I]knew [/I]my ammo didn't make the power factor. If I won, I wanted it to be a clean win. So I bought Winchester white box .357 ammo. (at the time, $11 per 50) THAT made minor (in a major way) and the muzzle flash was fun to watch, even in full daylight and almost set a hay bale on fire. :D I successfully completed my State Title for each division run, using full magnum ammo for SSR. I welcome the lower power floor. [/QUOTE]
