    If you mean the short-nosed SWC, yes I do. VERY accurate in a Blackhawk x 6.5", but at 900-1100 FPS the rear sight bottomed out before sights and hits corresponded at 25 and 50 yards. Yeah, I know--run 'em faster.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

    It is a very accurate bullet in my Model 57...I'd like to use it more but I am conserving the use of my lead these days.. I did have to get a different rear sight with the pistol to shoot it POA

    I've run a few through my model 58 Smith and found the recoil significant to get it to impact POA. IIRC, the accuracy was fine.

    Accuracy was Great in Ruger 4 5/8 inch barrel with W 296---1 1/4 inch groups
    at 15-20 yards.
    Had to change the rear sight blade to get it to shoot point of aim as it was
    about 3 inches high at that distance.
