John,

My old favorite was a flattop Ruger .44 mag with a 5 1/2" barrel. Great 100 yard target gun with about a 2# trigger set up by a previous owner. I used 21 grains of 2400 and 240 grain cast bullets. Sadly, I sold that gun in a fit of stupidity when I quit hunting after most of my shooting buddies moved away. When I moved to FL 11 years ago and saw the size of the varments in the water here I bought a SS Ruger 4 5/8" .44 mag. for a boat gun(remember my underwater shooting questions?). It seems to group like the other one but I'm too lazy to walk 100 yards too many times. Shoots 1" groups at 25 yards. Anybody for a contest in FL? Jamese, what are you up to these days?
