Bullseye - All Revolvers

[SS686]

I was just wondering. I am somewhat of a beginning Bullseye shooter my self. I shoot at the Terrell Rifle and Pistol Club. We have one guy, who is quite an accomplished shooter, that reacently went all revolver. Let me know if you are ever in my neck of the woods and we will go shoot a little

Sounds good and let me know if you are ever down here. The one other revolver guy down here that does bullseye was shooting great the day I saw him. I should have asked for his score, but I will next time.

You mentioned your arm hurting from holding up the gun. You may want to try a Mod 17 instead of the 617 as it has no under-lug and less weight. The 617 is considerably heavier.

I enjoy shooting revolvers in bullseye, but do use a semi-auto in competition. Join a bullseye league where you shoot every week. You will enjoy it.

Thanks for the tip. I think the arm was mainly tired since A) It was my first bullseye competition and B) I had only really practiced supported and not really unsupported so I didn't feel it was a concern, but if it bothers me in 6 months, you can bet I'll be following your advice and probably switching over from the full lugs, but I will say the weight is nice for followup shots.

On the subject of revolvers: Has anyone compared the precision of .45AR vs. .45 Long Colt? I am particularly interested in the choice of a Model 25 in one or the other.

I have a Model 25-2 that I use .45AR -- 4.3gr AA#2 behind a 200gr Zero LSWC. It's proven very accurate when I do my part.

I've never shot a .45 Colt out of anything, so I don't know how the two compare.
