After a long week of work I was taking a little stress relief this afternoon. Here are the results. For reference; That is a one inch target dot in the middle. Taurus 4 inch Titanium Tracker in 41 mag with 165 gr cast over 6 gr Universal Single action at 100 ft. S&W 6 inch 657 with 165 gr cast over 6 gr Universal Single Action at 100 ft. Ruger 4 5/8 Single Seven with 85 gr XTP over 4.2 gr Tite Group at 100 ft. I can usually shoot tighter groups with the Taurus than with the Smith. Such was not the case with this load.

..lets see...Idaho...March 1st...green grass.... NH...2-6' of snow still on the ground and only one day above freezing the whole month of February. New record low of -21 last Tuesday in Concord.
I should have stayed in Idaho....
Nice shooting Dave... I am about done sizing all the .41s I cast last week and when I finish the .32s I'll ship some samples out to you...

Bob, I am anxious to see them. Right now I have the engine torn down in one tractor at home, and am in the process of ordering a full rebuild kit for it. The little Ford is in town getting a full restoration done. The D17 is a 1959 model, the Ford is from 1949, I suppose it is fair that they deserve some attention. I am getting anxious to start plowing and planting.

They should go out tomorrow...I am not going to size the .32s as all I have is a .310 and .311 die and these may be too small... Are you sizing your .32 boolits yet? If so what size die?
NICE looking .32...

No, I had to put the order of the mould on hold for a while. I just purchased the safe. The old Subaru has been in the shop twice this month, and I still have to have the front struts replaced on the old girl. And now,tractor parts are getting into my wallet pretty hard.

These photos only show what one particular shooter can do, not what the handguns are capable of doing .
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

I had not seen any one speaking of what the revolvers are actually capable of. I was simply out beside the front deck relaxing and thought I would share the results with Campfire friends.
I know what the two 41's are actually capable of, as I have seen RJM shoot them. And I can assure you they shoot a hell of a lot better in his hands than mine.
