Good to hear that some still shoot Bullseye. I though the gunfighting games had taken over everything.
You should be very competitive with a Model 52. Most seem to like 2.8 grains of Bullseye and a 148 grain Hollow Based Wadcutter, seated flush with the case mouth.

I learned to shoot in the Corps Bullseye Style(one handed hold with non-shooting hand in my pocket). Then I learned IPSC styled shooting, when I went to work for the USMC Security Force Battalion (our instructors were taught at Gunsite by Cooper & Crew). Now that I am a tad older it is back to bullseye at my style (two hands and only trying to impress myself). I guess you can say I compete against myself.
