Another agreeable fact. Wandering around in the "way back" machine, I was shooting Bullseye for the Military with a 1911. My 1911s were set up and tuned by the armorer to shoot tiny little groups out of a ransom rest. Then I got it. Oh, Right, my point ..........
At the same time, there were a bunch of old fuddy duddies who were competing with those "old fashioned" revolvers. The armorers built those guns too. It was not unusual to see a cylinder line bored, then chambered and custom throated, special fit to the crane, trigger job and a big ol wide trigger shoe. Then the guys numbered the chambers. Spend days and days with a ransom rest to get the perfect load for that particular gun and to shoot each chamber to determine which was the most accurate. I've seen service revolvers shoot into one ragged hole in the ransom rest. Some chambers would shoot 12 rounds into one slightly oversized hole. Amazing. Not, however, practical for anything other than Bullseye competition. Heven help ya, if you wanted to fondle one of those guys guns.
Ah, the "good old days." walk over to the armory and pick up my allowance of 1000 rounds ....... a week!! Brass went in a range bucket.
Never reloaded a round. Working up to an inter service match, allowance went up to 1000 rounds a day!!
