As most of you know, I shoot a 629 S&W Classic, 8 3/8" barrel, .44mag. Bullet of choice, for now, are Winchester 240gr. soft points.
I recently topped this with a Tasco Pro-point that I bought from Randy. With this setup, from a rest, I'm getting about 3-4" groups @ 50 yards. I can put all 6 rounds within say, the palm of your hand.
I'm used to the rifle groups of .50" or .75" at 100 yards, so these groups I'm not much impressed with.
What do y'all think? Am I expecting too much? Can it get better with more practice? Different loads?
What loads are you shooting and what kind of groups do you get and what do you consider, "good enough for hunting"?
