Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
Nice!
That looks fine to me...but based on what some clowns have said...that group is barely acceptable.

That's about what I manage with my .357 GP100 at 15yd. Nice shooting!
Nice!

I just got one today, so far it shows promise, the bore is .4295 and the chamber throats are all within .4305 to .4315. Hopefully I'll get to load for it this week and play with it over the weekend.

Nice round group, no odd flyers. Looks around 2"? pretty darn good for off hand. I am guessing you would do a bit better off a rest, most shooters do, but not all. Then again, what does a clown like me know?
Spot on the target is 1.5". I measured the group at 2" with a tape measure; hardly precision. That load has shot well in 5 .44 special revolvers so far. It gets Skeeter load velocity at standard load pressures. I have magnums if I want to shoot hotter.

I may end up with one of these eventually, and will keep your load in mind, as I use a lot of Power Pistol. The only .44 Spl I have is a 6" 624, but I haven't hardly shot it at all. I am sure you have favorite targets, but if you haven't already, try a fairly large "V". I find being able to aim at the point cuts a noticeable bit off my groups. If you get bored with your GP, let me know. It looks like Ruger got yours right
Im waiting to see If the are going to offer it in a longer barrel , I dont like any revolver under 6 inches , Thats just me , different strokes for different folks , but they are nice firearms .
I like 1911's and Wheel Guns , Wood Stocks and Blue Metal , Dislike Black on Black and Magazines on Rifles whats this country coming to.
