Grayfox- It's also quite possible that your gun just doesn't like DEWC's. I have a model 66 that is wonderfully accurate with Star HBWC's and 2.5 gr Red Dot, or at least it is on the rare days when my eyes and hands work well together, but it can't handle the double-end bullets worth beans.

Actually, I don't bother with cast WC's anymore. The swaged HBWC's cost a little more, $34 per thou vs $22 per thou down here in my neck of the woods, but I have better results with them. BTW Walt, there still isn't a better load for target work than the one you gave, 2.7 gr Bullseye. IMHO of course.
