Went back for another round this morning... this time I used my Ruger MKII/512 (.22LR) and improved my score to 698. I was much more consistent, my low round score improved from 48 to 66 and I improved in 7 of the 9 rounds. I attribute some of this to the use of the .22 vs. .38 special last time. I have some Hogue grips on order for the Ruger, and will upgrade my ammo from the cheap Federal value pack stuff to better quality .22 target ammo, so I'm hoping to crack well into the 700s on my next try. The stock grips on the Ruger became quite slick later in the match.
