Starting with a shiny clean and dry bore. Triple Seven powder (ffg) and triple seven primer in the red jacket. Harvester short black and 250 xtp. Set target up at 50 measured yards. With factory sights, shot this:
I wet/dry swabbed between evry shot. On the fourth shot and there-after, the backpressure would blow the red jacket off of the plug. In fact, on shot number 4, my left eye recieved a fair sized blast of, I'm assuming, primer gases. It freaked me out. I swabbed barrel and reloaded. Happened again. On the 7th shot, I left the primered red jacket in the gun and took picture. I'm not sure I like this.....at all. Especially the eyeful of gas. I wore my sunshades for the next few shots. Anyway, I had this gun up for sale on the classifieds and am hereby withdrawing it until a satisfactory resolution can come about. I couldn't/wouldn't sell this ML knowing that the striker blows back. I guess I could use the no 11 caps. It's depressing because this ML shotts so darn good!!!!!!!
