These are what I would call plinking or practice loads using Bayou SWC 215 grain Hi-Tek coated bullets. This will be my practice load for a good while as it is accurate and easy to shoot. I was hitting what I was aiming at 50 yards with open sites. I am sure with a scope or a shooter with better eyes and steady hands could hold very tight groups at 5o yards with this load. I was using a Ruger Redhawk with 7 1/2" barrel.

“We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more
humane, while his education has been sadly neglected.”
-Henry David Thoreau
“When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether
they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes – remembering that it was
one of the best parts of my education – *make* them hunters.”
-Henry David Thoreau
