I finally had a chance to shoot my SML conversion. I was impressed with the first outing and first load I tried. After sighting/fouling the bore with 3 shots, I loaded up and fired a 3 shot group measuring .460" at 100yds. The first two were in the same hole with the 3rd shot shifting to the left. Hopefully, I can get some chronograph readings in a few weeks to work up a drop chart with my Nikon XR BDC scope. I've been wanting this conversion done for quite a while now and I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out.
