     OVERALL LENGTH   1.125
     GUN DETAILS   Tanfoglio Model "L"
     OTHER DESCRIPTION  Temperature was 5C. This is a good load for IPSC PRoduction. Recoil was very mild in this heavier gun. For guns with slightly shorter barrels I would increase charge by 3/10th of a grain to ensure making 125PF.
