I got a shooter
Sorry , but no pics, it was a rainy day and I didn't want to take the camera out.
I bought a Handi .44 mag a couple weeks ago, topped it off with medium Burris Zee rings and a Redfield 2-7x33 scope.
I started my sight-in at 30 yards so I could get it on paper. I started off with some WWB 240 grain Jacketed soft points to get her close. First shot was 6 inches low and 6 inches to the left. Not bad for a hillbilly bore-sight.
8 shots late, I had a perfect bullseye, then the next two shots toughed the first bullseye. I was very happy! I did not clean the barrel once in those 11 shots, other than the initial barrel cleaning when I received the gun of course.
Then I moved back to 50 yards, first shot bulls, second shot touched the first shot. Third shot went 2 inches low and 2 inches left. I just thought it was me so I shot another and it wasn't and better. Then, I decided to go ahead and clean the barrel. First three shots with the clean barrel touched bullseye. I figured she was sighted in pretty good, so I cleaned it (boy that WWB ammo is freaking dirty) and switched up to some Hornady Leverevolution.
First shot with the Hornady was 3 inches high and 2 inches left. I went ahead and shot another to make sure it was grouping, and it was. I adjusted the scope accordingly. Next shot bullseye, then two more touching.
I went ahead and shot a total of 15 Hornady's and the entire group was less than 3 inches. Not too bad, considering by this time I was getting a little tired. (BTW, that Hornady ammo is about the cleanest that I have ever seen for a large pistol caliber)
Before I called it a day, I moved back to 100 yards for the heck of it and shot a 2" three shot group. All 1 inch low of the bulls.
So it shoots dead-on at 50 yards (which most of my shooting should be) and 1" low at 100 yards with the Hornady ammo.
I must say, I am impressed with this gun and the scope. I will definitely be buying the same scope for my 357 Maximum Handi.
