Yesterday I took the CA Bulldog out for a walk. The purchase included a hundred rounds of assorted factory and remanufactured ammo purchased in a LGS. Since it’s DAO, accuracy was just careful trigger control. I was able to shoot 4” groups at 7 yards rapid fire. The trigger is smooth and long and the gun is pretty light.

As the jacketed factory was depleted, I moved to the remanufactured stuff. It shot well, less recoil, lots of smoke and soft swaged lead bullets. Within 30 rounds the action locked up. I suspect it’s gummed up, I hope. I’ll break it down and clean thoroughly this weekend. As it was never previously fired, the factory oil in the action probably accumulated a lot of residue.

I’ll do what I can and try again next week. I’ll use Berry’s 240gr plated hp match bullets (I have them on hand) over 7gr of Unique unless someone has a better suggestion!

It’s all good....

shame shame. You broke the 2 main rules. You shot

Loaded 50 rounds of 240gr at 200gr charges....read the wrong line in the manual and didn’t want to shoot them in the Bdog. Shot them in my 29. That’s why I shot the reloads...these are sold off the shelf in my LGS.

7.2 gr Unique under 230 gr .45 ACP bullet, until an old firearms lawyer strongly advised against using handloads for defense. While in most cases defendable, it avoids the scenario where DA addresses the jury with "hollow points used by the police were not good enough for him, he made his own to be sure they kill". Right or wrong, it's not a discussion I'd ever want to have.

said the same thing. In this case I just wanted to shoot the gun.
