Congrats on the 11th overall Brantley.. you are an amazing shooter bro… I do miss you Shooting the 124 grain ammo though. yes it kicks harder but the dot also comes down sooner as well and I just liked your splints and time and also better hits in my opinion with the 124 grain … non the less you one of the best in the nation and I will always admire you and keep learning from you brother. 🙏🏼

[@brantleymerriam]

Thanks man I appreciate it! I've never competed with 124gr bullets, I prefer the 147gr.

[@alonsoarellanocarryoptics]

@@brantleymerriamoh I thought that the ones from Ruben’s reloading you were shooting before you went to Texas precision were 124 grain bullets

[@brantleymerriam]

@alonsoarellanoakauspsaburr6321 You are correct. I forgot about those. I've never found any correlation between bullet weight and split times. Or additional the gun coming back down faster or slower with different bullet weight. The only thinking noticed is how violent it returns or how smooth it returns.

Nice job my friend. What were the magazine capacities? 25?

[@brantleymerriam]

24+1

[@chriswelch4675]

I thought you were a glock guy. Nice shooting man. Didn’t you get a stage win?

[@brantleymerriam]

This was my last match with the CZ. Yes, I got two stage wins at this match.
