[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4331954, member: 46104"] As for fixed sight guns, or those with only drift adjustable rear, they generally are made for "standard" loads of certain weights and velocities, best bet to first try loads for which it made rather than for hyper velocity devestators or heavyweight super duper penetrators. Most (not all, by any means) will then shoot close enough...people are amazingly adaptive creatures, and often the body subconsciously adapts to gun/ammo combo in order to hit without conscious change of anything which can be pinned down, and with enough practice, a gun which seemed to be "off" then starts behaving. And then there are the conscious adjustments to sight picture and/or sights. But until truly familiar with the gun, adjusting anything is often only an exercise in tail chasing if lacking consistancy developed only through practice, and a lot of it. The folk who brag of "EDC rotation" rarely are good shooters....there is much merit to the old, "Beware the man with only one gun because he probably knows how to use it." [/QUOTE]
