Well, an interesting night in which I learned something...

I'm a lousy shot.

Shooting the Smith in double-action mode is especially embarassing.

But...

The ammo DOES make a difference.

Tried three different Winchester types and one Hornaday (125 gr. JHP/XTP) from a rest at 50 feet. One Winchester was constantly high and right. The other was just high. The third (WinClean) was a bit high, but five shot strings would scatter over a six or seven inch diameter circle.

The Hornaday was in the black, constantly. I love it, well, except for the price.

Thanks!
Dave
