I suspect that some Blackhawks are accidentally more accurate than others regardless of the chambering.

Re: Looking at a Kimber 1911
I had an early Kimber that was reliable and accurate.
But the ones I have tried in recent years have been a mix. Shame too because Kimber really takes the sharp edges off. I sure like that.

Re: Most accurate Blackhawk caliber?
Out of the box, I don’t really know. .44 and.41 probably have better chamber dimensions as I have always opened chamber throats on a .45 before it shot like it should.

Not to Paco levels, but certainly closer to what the .357 was meant to be.

Re: Short cases (.357)
The other thing to take into consideration is that your loads may not need to be crimped if your brass has a firm grip on your bullets. If you load your cylinder full, fire five and then inspect the sixth round for bullet movement, you may find that there's no need to crimp any of your rounds and i...

Re: Short cases (.357)
I don’t think it will hurt anything to seat the bullet deeper and crimp because, as you can see the Hornady brass on the left has no crimp.
