Black Powder 1911

FUN. 😁😁😁

 

Shooting Black Power in the 2026 Black Gold Wild Bunch side match.

No cleaning or other maintenance for all 4 stages.

1 1/8 of shot over 65 grains of ffg.

44 WCF loaded with a heavily compressed load of fffg under a 200 grain bullet.

45 ACP filled with Triple 7 to the base of a 200 grain powder coated bullet.

1911 was still going strong after 80 rounds.

Chamber of my 87 started sticking after 20 or 21 rounds. First time that has happened.

Yes

Because of the heat no one wanted to reset targets for the main match the following day so we shot the stages with 5 rounds per mag with a total of 4 mags per stage.
