Went to the range tonight with my new 3" SP101 357mag. Found out that I'm a horrible shot with smaller guns. :lol:
On a letter sized target, my shots were all over the place. This was at 10 ft. It got worse and worse as the target was set further away. At 50 ft., I couldn't even hit it!!! The ammo I used ranged from 110 gr. Hydrashok (38 sp) to 180gr. Buffalo Bores (what a KICK!!!). 148-158gr. 38 sp. felt about the best, which is what I have loaded up at home for SD.
So for me, my range with my SP is 10ft or less!
Yeah, more and more range time is in order. I bought a multi-day pass, so I'll be able to go more often. I was pretty embarrassed at myself for the disappointing performance. But I did make up for it with my GP100 6" that I did pretty well with. (I love that gun). I'll just have to get used to shooting the SP more.
