You know.... If I could find one of Fred Schmidt's short cylinder guns to shoot this stuff in I could be somebody..

Turns out 19mm is .750.... Stan,what velocity is this load giving you?

Have not chronographed the load. Book leads me to believe about 750..

Two targets. same ammo, same gun, same distance. See the yaw on one? Note that the yaw is always in the same direction? FWIW the yaw is generally up. Both fired from the bench. Different technique. Didn't note the yaw until I'd pulled them down. More testing this week paying more attention.

Old eyes just can't see sights well enough with indoor lights for any kind of accuracy judgement on the 38 Short Colt... The Burris scoped, Douglas bull barreled model 10 should fix that...

Looks like it may just be my bench technique....

Douglas bull barrel DAO S&W Model 10, 2X Burris scope, 38 Short Colt, Zero 158 grain swaged SWC, 2.5 grains of Unique, 12 Shots, 25 yards, from a rest... This gun is capable of much better. Expectation is inside the X ring up this close. Think I'll bump the powder charge up a bit.

I don't understand the last two posts. What did you change?
I realize one group is much tighter, but the holes in the two pictures don't look remotely like each other. One is ragged and one is a perfect circle.
