Took my buddy and me 2 days to complete the shoot and measure the targets.....The RM shot the tightest group of all, with my favorite hand-load... 0.68" on 1 target: 0.75" on second target.. 5-shot groups at 25 yards. The Performance Center gun was terrific...under and inch...but shooting the RM is like a fine swiss watch...a gem...

How'd the M-66 shoot? I'd think it'd be a real tack driver and lighter to carry than an N-frame .357.
