Not really a true "range report", just something that made me go "Huh, neat!"
I was whiling away the time during a heavy downpour, shooting at some plates I've got setup off my back porch. Clearly, even with the #22 recoil spring, the durned thing manages to spit out spent casings with quite a bit of force. One of the cases managed to get itself stuck in a 4x4 post used to hold up the back awning.
And below, you can see just how far it dug in, as well as an impression left by a different case.
Bear in mind, I live in a fairly humid area, between a river and a swamp, and it was hot enough to cause a bit of fog the moment water hit the ground, so the posts were a little damp on the surface. But still, that's impressive.

Yea that would of hurt a bystander and maybe put an eye out if not protected.

I get bopped in the skull fairly often but NOTHING like that! WOW!!! Can't say I've been hurt but hit, nonetheless. That IS impressive sticking into a wooden post.

LMAO!! If I don't kill you with the bullet I'll nail you with the casing! I love it. I knew they got flung far but I never realized about how much force was involved.
Close enough for Government work will get you dead, ask any Vet.

And again, this was with the 22lb Wolff recoil spring.

Re: As if you needed more proof of recoil (Or, "Knock on woo
I shoot my pistols at the last (#7) lane in the indoor shooting range I go to. When sweeping the empty casings forward for them to collect with the other casings from the other 6 lanes, I notice steel cases all the way LEFT of me at lane #2! That means they were bouncing off the carpeted partition to the right and landing about 18 feet to the opposite side. I don't find it that strange after seeing Gman's cartridge sticking in the post!

I've never had ejected casings hit me, even tho I'm a lefty. I have had sparks decorate my forehead when shooting the PA63, however.
Re: As if you needed more proof of recoil (Or, "Knock on woo
Wow, just wow that is all I can say. They never informed me that the p64 is capable of that. What ammo is it ?
