500 rounds steel "Monarch" ~6500
500 more rounds down range yesterday and today.
My buddy and I went steel crazy setting up plates at 10 yards, 15 yards, 25 yards along with gongs at 50, 75 and 100 yards. We kept em' ringing. It is tempting to start close and work your way out because you tend to have your grip/sights squared away by the end of the circuit, but it is fun to start from the farthest and work your way closer---Sgt York style!!
Monarch is some real crap ammo. The double strike capability of a hammer gun really comes into its own on this one. My buddy was shooting his steyr striker gun and it was basically dead in the water until he cleared the chamber. Years of J-framing make pushing through a double action restrike no big deal.
This gun has never jammed. No feed way stoppages, no erratic ejection, no nothing. Just hammers away. Looking forward to running it through a Dave Harrington Course the first weekend of june. 2000 rounds of steel crap in two days should warm the heart.
