BSA 240 Magnum - the way it should have been.

It definitely has something that makes me enjoy shooting this pistol more than the HW45, although the latter is superior in most ways.
And Clarky's predictions regarding the velocity increase also came through.
Last weekend saw some bad weather so I did not manage to get much shooting done.
I did,however, manage to run the three ammo types originally tested through the chrony again:

Meisterkugeln:
516.7 fps low
526.5 fps high
520.7 fps average

Falcons:
496.1 fps low
500.3 fps high
498.7 fps average

AA:
483.3 fps low
486.2 fps high
484.3 fps average

A noticeable difference from when I first got it back (although the velocity figures were very respectable then too). The velocity spread with Falcons and AA's is neglectable. A bit more with Meisterkugeln, but still far better than a standard Magnum.
This pistol is now behaving beyond anything I could have hoped for and is very pleasant to shoot.

Cheers
