First of all, thanks for the help on the 9mm. I'm figuring out the accuracy on that caliber.
But the 327 has me a little confused. I've found a really accurate load. 7.1 grains of HS-6. This load is very accurate in my 8 shot Blackhawk. I took it out the other day and measured these shot groups. Around 2 inches at 25 yards.
BUT! I've got the older SP101 in .327 also (3 inch barrel). With this pistol, at 25 yards, the group must be around 12 inches. If I move in, to say 10 yards, the group is still 6 inches at best. Firing single action, taking my time, etc. What gives? I know the barrel is shorter, but not by much. The Blackhawk is 5 1/2 inch barrel. Plus the Blackhawk is a heavier gun. But, the groups in the SP101 are just terrible.
I'm going to load up some different 327, with different powder and try again on Sunday.
