Thanks for entering Shorty.

The winner for October is Otreb with 3 1/2" shot with a Ruger SP101. He also came in second place with a 3 7/8 shot with an LCR.
It was a fun match.
For November, show us a one hole 5 shot group.
Whoever can do it from the longest distance wins.
Show us your ONE hole group and tell us the distance in yards or feet if you have to.
Any hold, no resting.
If you feel the need to use a 3" go ahead.

I really wanted to use the 325, but two problems:
1) all I have is cheap ball ammo
2) min range is 25yrds at the local bullseye oriented range and the other indoor ranges prohibit any lead ammo, ruling out most 200gr swc options.
I had to persuade them to let me use this alum cased blazer stuff, too.
I have recently seen 230 gr jacketed SWC ammo. It is made by MagTech. I have not tried it, so can not vouch for it's accuracy, but the SWC part is of interest. The 230 gr ought to be very close for fixed sight guns, possible bonus!
I can't imagine the objection to aluminum cases, unless they keep the brass & sell it for scrap?

If you shoot a one holer with a snubby at 25 yards, I will double the prize this month! But what the heck, try.
I shot my model 15 4" today at 11 yards and could not quite shoot a one hole group after a box of 50.
I need some HBWC for my 3" model 36.

Something to that effect, they say they get fined if there's any steel or alum in the scrapping.
I basically tell them it's a revolver... I'm not chasing brass and I'll show them the full box of empties as I leave so they know nothing was left. They usually agree to that.
I like Magtech ammo, haven't seen that one yet. Usually the bullseye range has the Black Hills 200gr swc, but supposedly it's disco'd ....and I'm not sure I can one hole those offhand at 25yrds with a snubbie.
Getting last month was pretty inspired for me, usually I can hold 4-5" with my 442 using good defense ammo. But the LCR and sp101 don't get the same trigger time.
