Add me to the list of the amazed. I've got a single 25-2 that I never shoot. The gun simply makes me angry. Beautiful, classic old N frame and it barely shoots a 4" group at 25 yds on a GOOD day.

But...My 25-7 and a 625 Lt Wt Hunter PC gun both have properly sized throats and bores and with .452" cast slugs they are lasers.

I used to shoot RP 250 gr hollow base .45 Colt lead slugs out of a few of my previous 25-2's. The soft slug with the hollow base worked quite well. Accuracy that was at least 2-3 inches at 25 yds. Then I had a tough time finding them so sold those 25-2's.

Good post...I've often wondered WHY myself.
