I tried to be a winner...but that ONE low round kept happening...
Nine shots in 1.65" but that one opens it to 2.52."
Repeated with the pre 27 @20:
Six shots in 3.86." Five in 2-3/8."
My shooting partner insisted on me shooting the remainder of his magnum ammo (brought along a 640PD), and I obliged.
It was fired in double action, as fast as I could pull the trigger. I was in a hurry to get out of there. "Minute of face" was my buzz term for the day.
All of them on one target at various distances. For whatever reason I get the biggest kick out of the 442 (as in fun) and shoot it just as well if not better than its bigger, heavier team mates.
Much of the blown out center is owed to the lowly 442.
I thought I had a tight chamber problem with the 22-4 as loading and ejecting would get sticky after 50 to 100 rounds. Turns out they all do that if you get 'em hot enough. Once cooled down it's back to normal.
A few shots from a buddies 340PD. It wasn't as bad as expected, but I would not want to shoot more than a cylinder full a session.

Shots made it into a roughly 3" pattern with the first shot hitting the bull.
I told the range guy that we were shooting loud short guns so it would be a good idea to keep other shooters away...yet they placed an elderly fellow shooting a vintage .22 rifle right next to us
