About a month after I got my 1979 model SBH the local pusher got in a brand new SBH Hunter Bisley......hubba hubba......
I thought it might be bad for the barrel to touch the bags so I have not been doing that. I thought it might be like resting a rifle barrel on a rest.
I have tried to rest the frame on a bag which is very uncomfortable, I will have to try the barrel on the bag, wrists on a bag OK as long as the grip doesn't touch anything?
I have been shooting
5grs Red Dot + 240 cast - that's the quarter group @ 25yds
9grs Unique + 240 cast - only shot at 50yds but I know it shot good with open sights @ 25yds.
My usual hunting load is a 275gr WFN over 17.5grs 2400 but I don't want to waste those right now trying to learn this scoped thing. I know you wobble with open sights but good lord it gets in your head with a scope.
I would like to kill a doe with mine, I have 2 other 44's that are open sights and I shoot them out to 100yds @ a 12" plate for practice. I also have a 30/30 Super 14 but I wanted to have a scoped revolver also.
5 shots under 2" is crazy good.
Thanks for the help!
