If I get in on this one I will probably need a yard stick to measure my group.

Thanks! PM sent!
The next contest sounds fun! I'll have to switch to another load though, I don't want to be burning through my 135 +P unobtanium rounds too quick!

Yeah. Practice does make perfect.Me too, but at least you'll get some practice so it's all good!
I tried my 649-5 one time at 25 yards. It was my first time shooting it. Five shots SA .357 Magnum 158gr semi jacketed soft points. I got the target 3/5. Those are pretty hot loads though (Federal-rated 1240fps).
So roughly 17 yards will be slightly easier I suppose but DA will be tough.

I'm a little new here, so this is my first shot at this for August.
I used four guns today, all snubbies...but two are rimfire and were shot SA, so they're out.
Just center fire DAO snubbies.
So, I made one effort each gun; an LCR .357 and my trusty 442-2, both using the PMC Starfire 125gr +p ammo...I wanted something that made clean holes and I'm used to defense ammo giving me more consistent accuracy.
I had something nice going with the 442, but #5 blew open the group...then #10 guaranteed a crappy result.
I faired better with the LCR, the slightly better sights helped, esp in a dimly lit indoor range (wades). I consider triggers between the two guns a wash, despite many really liking the LCR's. They're just different.
442
LCR
I'm pissed about my 442 effort, but I set aside the Starfires for this, so with 20 rounds I wasn't going to be able to do more than one try per gun... and I'm keeping the 135gr Gold Dots dots for carry ( the loaded rounds near the target).
The LCR is about typical for me, sometimes I do better...outdoors I can do this at 25yrds on better days.
I love this idea of a snubby match. Tons of people carry these things, but only a few really try to learn them.

I just noticed you had some Speer Gold Dots in 135gr. I just picked up a box of those Saturday for my 649-5. Mine are .357 Magnum "short barrel".
They seem to get good reviews but according to Speer's website they are basically just a hot .38 spc+P round going by ballistics (just under a 1000 fps, from a 2" barrel however). I've not shot any as of yet but plan to at least a cylinders worth.
They certainly are expensive enough, but certainly get positive reviews. I've replaced Hornady CDs in .357 Magnum for them in my 649.

I have yet to try the magnum 135gr load, just the +p .38sp. They chrono mid to high 800s in the 442 and mid 900s in my 2.5" L frame 242. The mag version I've seen right at or just over 1000fps in guns like the LCR.
The only load I've chrono'd in the LCR was hornady Critical defense .357 mags/125gr, it was right at 1200fps five shot avg.
Personally, the +p .38 135gr should be doing what the 'light magnum' version does, if they were loading it decently....but maybe too many would carp about the recoil. I dunno...
