There is only one picture with one loaded cartridge and one hole in the target. If that hole is the result of 8 shots at 50 yards offhand then I am VERY impressed.

I don't think that 6.1 grains of anything except C-4 or TNT would be risky in a 44 magnum unless a stuck bullet in the barrel is part of the risk. And only certain powders at that.

That is an impressive group or should I say hole.

Hoy boy! 8 round, standing at 50 yards in a good wind and all bullets through the same hole! Was he shooting while walking on water also? Perhaps the stock was made from a slab of the True Cross.

I am trying very hard to be charitable to the poster, but this is a hard one to swallow.

Jealous, yes that is it. I wish I had the cajones to post such a picture. Either the guy was pulling our legs or insulting our intelligence. I hope it is the former and not the latter.

i think he just cropped the picture and the holes are off to the right.
on an 8x11 paper 8 hits standing at 50 is pretty good, if they are on half the paper thats better.
