I've shown this photo more than once. Five rounds of the Federal Red Box from the OP, single action, sitting with my hand resting on a piece of carpet atop a block of wood. 5" pre-27:

I am curious if the vertical spread is due to variable powder weight in the factory loads, but I think it is probably due to my inability to focus on the rear sight well enough to line it up with the top of the front sight
