    @jetfire

    I swear I could hear you laugh at the exact moment I did a sighting error and threw round #8 high and blew that 100-6X on the right.

    I gotta get stronger reading glasses.

    Very satisfying indeed.

    That MR-73 is causing you such frustration, maybe you should send it to me?

    Funny story about that, which I unfortunately can't tell until next week at the earliest.

    I bet they're announcing a new model at Chapuis/Beretta: Le Modele "Caleb"

    It will have an audio warning (speaker in the grip, next to the spare tube of Snark) whenever someone thumbs the hammer for a single action shot: (Caleb's voice en Francais) "Non! Imbecile!" (/Caleb's voice en Francais)



    Apropos of little, I am so pleased with the effect of wadcutters on targets that I'd prefer to practice with them exclusively for the next year or so.

    Your skill with a revolver is both admirable and annoying as always.

    Tom Givens shoots his standards on the reg and is always one down from a perfect score it seems. Sometimes skill meets luck in both directions.

    Solid shooting man.

    My son took my 5 1/4 inch MR 73 6 shots double action more than 7 yards less than 10 with 158 grain lead cowboy loads. This was one of the first uses of the gun.
    The Manurhin 73 shoots better than I will be able to do with it.

    Maybe you should try that until you hit all X's.

    I need to get some actual B8s

    I've been dry firing every day. No drills. Just very focused sets of 10-30.
    First 6 today. DA at 25 yards with 158s@1250fps
