Sorry no pics, couldn't get anyone to go shooting with me.

I took the 445 to the range with some 300 gr gas check rounds I cast and reload, was suppose to be about a 1450 fps load, ended up going over 1600 fps but what a lot of fun until the front sight left its mount.

Found it about 10 feet behind me, this was after 52 rounds, worst part was I didn't have a allen wrench small enough to put it back on. Gun shoots great, once dialed in which took 4 rounds, the rest were in a hole small enough to cover with a 50cent piece. Will have to take it out for some long range shooting latter, today was just to get use to the gun and find out if my loads were any good and both are excellent, will try the 300gr hornady xtps next time.

I shot a .445 once, interesting, but I didn't like .44 Mag, so please understand that a .445 "pre" AGS was not really not my cup of tea. I will say that heads all over the pistol line at the range turned our way, and several guys came over to ask "What the hell is that?"

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Daytona,

That is some mighty fine shooting to get the group that small big-grin.  You really  know how to shoot that thumper.  Good thing you found that sight, they are small objects to find o a range.
