I think I have settled on the Keith #429421 250 gr. over 7.0 gr. of Unique with a CCI 300 primer. I may reduce it a bit more. I've got .44 Magnums if I want anything more powerful. I kind of like shooting .44 Special equivalents in this little gun. Same here. I rarely use magnums. In my pistols... Dave

Here's a photo of mine -- more to follow (excuse the poor quality): ![[Linked Image]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/MarkoR/IMG_7185.jpg) I have wanted a "portable but effective and efficent" handgun to carry when blood trailing deer, hunting hogs with dogs (short range), and general bumming around the woods. Is this .44 Special what I want?

Looks beautiful. ![[Linked Image]](https://c6.staticflickr.com/1/632/32167005285_c6e48be84c_k.jpg) But I really slave performing R&D for you guys. ![[Linked Image]](https://c6.staticflickr.com/1/359/32167008965_81421f3d1e_k.jpg) The GP kills stuff pretty dead. Shots were everywhere from 3 to 30yds. I must say I made some fabulous shots this morning. The 260gr. Keith really drives them into the earth. I love that bullet. ![[Linked Image]](https://c7.staticflickr.com/1/262/32018472062_fdf3a1a9c6_k.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://c4.staticflickr.com/1/304/31356859643_0e29942a7c_k.jpg)

Walk, walk, walk. Grin...

I've noticed on my GP100 44 and most of the ones I've seen there is a small gap between the front sight and the barrel. Apparently they are designed that way to be so consistent. Anyone have any idea why they are that way?

Jack, Mine is fitted the same way. I just figure it is sloppy manufacturing or that Ruger used another company's sight that just didn't quite fit correctly. I intend to change it out when I can find what I want. Of course the standard GP100 sight won't work....... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1181.photobucket.com/albums/x439/rugershooter1/C8B6CB67-71CC-466E-B0FF-CFD62D7A3101.jpg)

Good shooting Travis! Man I wish we had populations of rabbits like that around here. I love fried rabbit. This Ozark timber has great squirrel hunting and while squawks aren't terrible on the table they aren't as tasty as rabbit!
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

A correction here. Earlier on this thread, I stated that speedloaders for the S&W 696/396 would work on this GP 100. I shouldn't have relied on someone else. They do NOT work. I bought an HKS today and found that the spacing is not close to the same. Sorry if my incorrect answer on here caused anyone to buy one. They do not work.

I bet Quickstrips will work. They're my preference for field carry anyways.

I was kinda hesitant after reading your post. I'm glad I held off. I've found that I really like pouches believe it or not when it comes to field guns. They kind that have two pockets. One for loaded rounds and one for brass. Travis

This Ozark timber has great squirrel hunting and while squawks aren't terrible on the table they aren't as tasty as rabbit! Thanks. They're thick as fugk here when you find the right spots. More like an infestation than good hunting. They're a non-game animal here too. Travis

That might be the only option. Since the gun has only been out for a couple of weeks, I doubt that the speedloader manufacturers will have one available any time soon. Could be wrong again though...........

I should add that shot was supported. I had my elbows on a table.

That camera died out there but I swear on my kids I went 3 for 3 on the 250yd gong.
Suffice to say, the GP ain't going anywhere.
