From 4 to 6 inches at 25 yards to 3.5" at 100 yards is a good improvement. We shot it along with one of Matt's 357s with the same load Saturday. Matt's has a .0015" cylinder gap and this one has a .006" gap. The tighter gun was getting over 100fps more velocity than ole rescue. It is good enough to hunt with but after season it will get that problem solved.

How do you like that older model Leupold scope? I tried to use one on a revolver but couldn't get enough eye relief to make it work.

It is OK. I will probably change it. Since it was original to the gun I want to kill something with it. The later ones were a great improvement.

I`am sure there`s a bullet out there that could tighten your 100 group...

I think going back to the range with my correct glasses will help too. LOL

This was shot with 158 Noslers. I just got a load of 158gr XTPs in. I am going to load some of them up with a known good load and head back to 100 yards.
