When the powder ignites and the bullet starts to move there is an opposite, and equal, force exerted on the recoil shield of the revolver, commonly referred to as recoil! Recoil tries to force the gun rearward but the shooter resists forcing the gun upperwards! The amount of recoil is dependent on the weight of the bullet, powder charge, and length of time the bullet spends in the barrel! In my 10 5/8" 44 mag with a 240gr bullet, 23.5grs of H110, and changing the yardage from 25yds to 50yds the RISE of POI is probably 12"-18" but at 100yds the hit is on! With the same 100yd shot the first 25yd shot will not be on a 24x24 square paper!

In real life I've shot a zillion rounds of pistol ammo in precision and action pistol competition and this is true!

On a recent range trip with a recent purchase of a 5" 629 I was shooting 225 grain LSWC's at around 850 fps! With the rear sight screwed down as far as it would go POI was 4 inches high at 25 yards! In order to get POI to POA I had to boost the velocity up to 1050fps!

This is real life! 's
