Overall accuracy of the loads was good to very good. The MagTech jacketed round was worthless. It gave good velocity and the flat-nosed bullet would be more effective on small game than the round noses. The Federal wadcutter load won the velocity race, and it would be the best factory choiceįor small game or self defense. That is a wide range when the average velocity is only in the 600s. Considering an SD of 30, and knowing this means that 95% of shots will fall within a range of plus or minus two standard deviations, I see that it takes a range of 120 fps to catch 95% of my shots. Extreme spreads were large, exceeding 100 fps for more than half the brands Standard deviations were correspondingly large, 30 fps or more for three fourths of the brands. I found that fired cases came out very dirty, because the cases obturate (seal) poorly at these low pressures.

There are four bullet designs in the factory ammo that I had on hand for this test: Several different brands have the standard round nose, one has a half-jacketed hollow point, one has a flat nose that is like an old version called the. Its strength and quality will surely mean it can take it. Turns out its destiny is to be shot by me and I am going to shoot the heck out of it. This gun has been patiently awaiting its destiny in its box for fifty years. They are among the finest of affordable mechanical devices. The great workmanship and appearance of the gun shows why I like Smith & Wessons. Although it is small for my average male hand, it is still comfortable. This syle of grip seems appropriate on a gun of this size. I like the looks of the long, serrated front sight and the round grips. barrel, flat thumb piece, diamond in the grip, and serial no. Being late in the series of improved versions that have appeared since, this one has the J frame, ramp front sight on a 4-in.
