[rec.guns] New Toy - Report

My new toy, .44 mag. Freedom Arms Casull w/ 10" barrel SA "5 shooter",
is a BLAST!  Excuse the terrible pun.

I sighted it in at 25 yd. Saturday and found that I could plunk 10
within 2" with a sand bag rest on a semi-solid old picnic table.
The Federal 240 JHP's were slightly more consistent than some PMC
240 JHP's.  At this point, it is obvious that the gun is still far
more accurate than the shooter.  The recoil is very manageable with
the very nice hardwood grips.  No glove used or needed (experience
of 100 rounds).

Then, several of us shot some bowling pins at 25 ft.  The long barrel
allows one to shoot one-handed without much muzzle flip.  The pins do
exit the scene quickly when hit right.

Saturday, I'm going to try some metal!  A half range sil. shoot using
standing position.  I'll let you know if I hit anything from 100 m.

It attracts attention when holstered too.
