Hi, Brian:
Most folks here know more about sixguns than I do, so I'll just tell you what happened. I picked up a S&W Highway Patrolman, my first sixgun, a little while back. Couldn't get it under 3" at 20 yards with a dozen loads, factory or handloads. I didn't think it was me, since I can keep my old 1911A1 under 3". That's from a rest, guys, and 30 years practice does help. Next two were under 2". One was a pipsqueak .38 Special load with a Remington 158 gr. LSWC and W231. I'd already tried 700-X, Red Dot, Green Dot & Unique with that bullet. The other was a 140 gr. Sierra JHC, .357 case and half a grain too much 2400.
Bye
Jack
