I don't have much experience with revolvers, so this was a learning experience with respect to my technique at the bench. The first time out with this gun it bit my middle finger with the trigger guard for six shots and I stopped. After I changed out the factory wood target grips for Hogue monogrips no more bite. this time my groups tightened up as I went along. The bench presented some problems that I addressed. My trifocals are a litteral pain in the neck when I try to focus on the front sight. I have a pair of occupational lens safety glasses that may do the trick. Anyway I shot 42 rounds in single action and shrunk the groups from about 5 1/2 inches to about 3 1/2 inches @ 17 paces (that's where the berm was) as I made adjustments.
I ended up with my elbows on the bench and my hands on the bag. I need some padding under my elbows because sore funny bones a'int humerous.
Now to clean out the copper and get after some cast loads.
Any suggestions as to bench technique are appreciated. Once I find a suitable load I'll be shooting off hand as much as I can. I haven't been plinkin' since I was a kid so some tin cans or shotgun shells or such will be fun.
