I've got both...for the long run and more accurate shooting an older 63 is very hard to beat. If you can find a clean no- 70s or early 80's vintage gun with the pinned barrel even better. I had mine fitted with an extra 651 cylinder so it will shoot everything from CBs to Magnums...
That said, I was never really happy with the way my 317 shot. Then one day I tried some Winchester 40 grain PowerPoint HPs...it shrank the group by 2/3s...ammo makes a big difference...
