    For instance, in my first IDPA match, I got mostly -0 hits...

    The cool thing about this rifle is that it's built from standard parts combined in a non-standard (until now) configuration. It looks like battue sights can work pretty well with an optic.

    Um, no. Not by the standards of mortal men.

    You're laying them in there at 50 yards using a J-frame equipped with sights that don't lend themselves to precision at distance.

    Not that guy, but I like 10/Unique in the 44 Magnum. Seems to work well in other similar cartridges, too. 8 or 9 grains works well also.
