Accuracy ?
Hello Guys.I am new to this site. I did at one time own a couple of Smiths. A model 19 and a model 66 but I had to get rid of them both after the hand gun ban ( in Britain). At the moment we still allowed rifles as long as they are not semi autoes. Which leads me to the reason for this communication. I own a Ruger 77/44 and I am having problems with accuracy. I am only shootng cast bullets with light loads. 6 grains of Red Dot with a 240 grain bullet. This only produced 2 inch groups at 25 yards. I have tried ,today infact, using a 250 grain bullet with gas checks and 9 grains of Unique. The group was reduced to about 1 and half inchs without any flyers. I forgot to mention that I was getting the odd flyer with the previous load.This load using Unique does seem to be possibly, the way forward.I would have thought that I should be getting almost one hole goups at 25 yards. Can anyone suggest a sollution.
Regards Ian Appleyard (Teasel)

Welcome to the forum Ian, I'm not an expert on cast bullet reloading but if you post your question in the Reloading forum we have experts here that will be able to answer your questions and give you good solid advise. The guys that know all that good stuff may or may not see your post here in the introduction forum.

Welcome from Texas Ian. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.
You have an open invitation if you ever get to my neck of the woods in Texas. Stop in and stay a while. We will shoot a number of firearms, as we believe in liberty in Texas.
