This was my 3rd range session with the 625. Got it last year to shoot ICORE competition this coming season and working up loads. Shooting off a bench 2 handed, but with no rest, it was shooting 2" or 3" groups. The trigger is great, but my eyes are not capable of holding rear sight, front sight and bullseye clearly and steadily with only a 5" sight plane. Its such a great gun. Maybe I'll think about mounting a scope to take on and off just for load development. Right now, the .45 is a great caliber for this load. I have moonclips for competition, but shoot .45 Auto Rim for practice so I don't have to mess with the clips.

No ones eyes can do that, the front sight is what HAS to be in focus.
