Hit the range on Friday to break in the SRH. Boy what a beast!
Started out with 45lc for a little bit, then stepped up to 335gr WLNGC 454 Casull. There was a huge difference in power, although no where near as bad as I thought. It's definitely not an all day shooting round, but it's something I could manage. The Hogue grips made a big difference, along with the weight of the gun in reducing felt recoil. This thing is such a tank, I can barely hold it steady for long. I need to start working out.
Out of box the SRH is super accurate- more than I can currently shoot unsurprisingly. Although it was my first time shooting a revolver in at least 2 years. I was shooting to the right a little, but consistently- which leads me to believe I need to work on my trigger control. At around 7-9 yards, my best was around 3'' groups. Not great- but I felt good about it considering my last experience with a revolver. I know for a fact I can easily bring it down. Shooting out to 25 yards, I was getting 6'' groups off hand with the open sights. I'm sure this is also something I could dial in with more practice.
The 45Colt was extremely pleasant to shoot, with little recoil- I could shoot this all day. These were HPR 250gr TMJ rounds, very accurate- and went where I pointed every time. I did notice a lot of flash between the cylinder and barrel with this round, if I remember correctly, this is normal? The front of the cylinder is also discolored now, although it doesn't bother me- it looks like heat burn. Doesn't come off with any scrubbing.
Stepping up to 454 Casull Grizzly Cartridge 335gr WLNGC, I immediately felt a huge difference in recoil. Gave my hand a bit of sting, but still manageable. It actually wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. It's not a round I can shoot all day by any means, but it's manageable.
Stepping up further to the Double Tap 400gr 454 Casull. These rounds were a big step up in felt recoil, so much so that I could only shoot 4 rounds before having to take a break. Considerable stinging in my hand without a glove- two days later and my hand is still sore. I'm confident my shooting will improve with a glove using this specific round. It was fun, and a big boomer. Definitely something to stay focused with.
My next trip to the range, I will bring a shooting bag to dial in the site. Two other people shot my SRH, both pulled to the right as well. Hoping to add a Ultradot 30 red dot sight in the future for hunting.
