Thanks Doc,

I too have a FA M97 with a 327 cylinder. However, until this week, I have been unable to get the ammo. Bought 290 rounds of Federal ammo this week -- 250 of the "cheaper (and heavier)" stuff & 40 rounds of the 85 gr.

I really like the M97 with the 32 H&R cylinder but the 327 should be better. Plus, I really hate to carry the FA around in my pickup all of the time. I would not like losing a Ruger to a sticky fingered someone, but would really hate losing a FA.

It's more important where you hit 'em, than what you hit 'em with.
