In my younger years with this revolver, and RWS Hollow Points, I was able to get five-shot 50 yard groups as small as 3/8ths of an inch. Afraid those days are now gone.

Some years ago, I read a magazine article by Ross Seyfried in which he precisely detailed how he got a re-barreled Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt to shoot five cast heavyweight bullets into a one inch group at 100 yards. That may be possible with an extremely modified semi-auto, but I doubt it.
