A very wise gun writer once told me 50 yards is 4 times as far as 25 and 100 yards is 5 times further than 50. I knew he was talking about difficulty not math but yea hitting at 100 sure makes 25 yards easy. But I will say trying to hit targets at 150 and 200 yards makes 100 yards seem a lot more reasonable. Keep shooting and learning guys...

I agree with that Fowler, I've been shooting a lot at 50 yds lately with handguns and it makes 15-25 yard distances seem a lot easier. I shoot a lot of IDPA, ICORE, and USPSA type stuff and always practice at twice the distance I expect for average shots. My times and accuracy have improved greatly.

Nice shootin Alaskan454
I hope to soon get into shape and give this a try. Possibly by springtime.
I first need to find a load that is accurate for a new to me SRH 454. After I find the load and load up a BUNCH, then I'll need to practice Practice PRACTICE!
I hope to one day be able to keep'em on a plate sized target at 100. If/when that happens I'll think of going further....
Thanks to you All for a Great forum devoted to handguns and showing what Can be done when you set your mind and body and equipment to it!!!

I spent most of Saturday shooting benchrest but tried this new Seville. Being low on lube-sized 41’s, I was limited to just twenty-five rounds. United Sporting Arms, Silhouette Seville - .41 Magnum, 10.5” barrel  290 gr Martin LFN and 18.0 grs IMR 4227:  It took ten to sight the gun on a rock at 50 yards. Satisfied with its POI I moved the rear blade up and switched to 100. After five more and minor tweaks, I went after a pig propped against the impact area (I forgot to bring paper plates). Shot #1 landed low, shot #2 went high. One more click on the rear and the last 7 out of 8 connected. And before anyone asks...yep, I had to walk down and reset the steel after each hit. This spring we’re going to install a 14” swinging gong on our new 100 yard span.  Ghosts of the past. Shooting this old backstop always uncovers lead. This one appears to be a 500 grain from my JRH or Wyoming Express.  More shooting, less art gallery... -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time" |

Lee.... glad to see I'm not the only one to make typos. Reckon you meant to say "pig" to describe the silhouette at 100 yards. Good revolver sporting a mean bullet, Sig Himmelmann would approve.

I just realized I still haven't put my 480 to the test. I think my current loads are worthy to hit the 100 yard mark, and a freshly cleaned up action doesn't hurt either.

David Bradshaw David – ya, I have a bad habit of calling all steel silhouettes “rams”. Thread corrected. Thanks, -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time" |

Eighteen twist. I haven't chronographed the load from this gun but I'd guess 1,300 fps. -Lee www.singeactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time" |
