If that is how the Lee 440 is shooting, your search is over.

I had a dandy group going with the 410 last night, probably in the 4 inch range. Than I screwed it up and shot one about a foot away!! I fired a 6th and it went right back in the group. Didn't feel god wood be to pleased if I posted it, (that whole lying to your neighbor thing).. Try again today but I need to do some loading first.
Load
410 50-4101P Corder Design
26 wc820 Rem 2.5
BFR 500 JRH 5"

Thanks for sharing your session with that FA. What a testimony to the inherent accuracy of that brand and your loads. Enjoying these posts.

A California steel shooter considered the wild pigs on Catalina Island practice gongs for silhouette. Built along the lines of Baby Huey, silhouetters called him Earthquake McElroy, It wasn't the siesta-size shadow he cast that earned Earthquake his handle. Rather, silhouetters named Earthquake McElroy for his silhouette medicine, a modified .458 Winchester. David Bradshaw The above quote comes from way back on page 1. It reminded me of my first IHMSA match in 1979, at Hooksett Rifle and Pistol Club (aka "Riley's Range") in Hooksett, NH, where I met the likes of match director Walter Rodger & wife Diane, of Framingham, MA, and range owner, Dick Riley, who was elected President of the NRA in 1990. One of the competitors was a rather large fellow named (I believe) John Towle, a NH gunsmith. He shot a somewhat abbreviated (maybe 2 in?) 458 Mag in a Rem XP-100. Prone! Absolutely no worries about ringers - it was a beast. The range faced East, and it was getting rather late in the afternoon. At one point, I happened to be directly behind John while he fired his Ram relay, and was amazed to see the bullets travel all the way from the gun to the targets - the sun reflecting off the base of the bullets. What was even more remarkable, to me at least, was the degree of arc those bullets flew. It's not often you get the right conditions to see bullets in flight with the naked eye. Of course, it didn't hurt that those bullets were nearly a half inch in diameter. Sounds like John and Earthquake McElroy were kindred spirits. |

Here's a bump for one of my favorite threads. The revolver is a S&W 929 that I set up as a Steel Challenge Iron Sight Revolver (ISR). Sights are Dawson patridge fiber optic front and Bowen rear, I also did a standard competition action job so it's slick and about 6.5# DA. These loads are so light I wasn't sure how they'd fly, but apparently they do pretty well out to 150 yards.

Fine shooting Alaskan454 ! That bullet was in no hurry to get there but it arrived on target.

Figured I would push it out to 150 yards and see what happens. Didn't get all 6 on target, but still not bad for my first time shooting this one at distance.
