Very nice. The M97 in .44 special is a versatile combination. Targets/Loads are example of versatility -- other's uses will vary. Here are some groups I shot with mine. Pictures of loads shot at 25yds from a rest. These were verified for POI at 100 yds -- 3 shots in 4" or less. Upper left with 325gr BTB WLNGC chronos 1,100 fps. The 320gr Lee FNGCDC (not shown)chronos 1,200 fps when seated to bottom crimp grove. Same OAL as Speer 300gr (top crimp gr, 1.600 OAL) in .44 Mag data from the RIFLE SECTION of Speer #14. Load data for lower right group on target. 17.0gr of 2400 with 265gr SWCGC Thompson Lyman 429244. 180gr Hornady JHP -- two groups on the right -- was checking POI w/different front sight heights Here's the gun with it's big brother -- lousy pic that I tried to enhance with photobucket which I probably made worse. I think you are really going to like your new .44. Paul
