revoman Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Next time I go to the range and if I can repeat the feat I will post a picture just for you. A 16 rd (2 cylinders full) group would be more meaningfull. My 627-5 with 6" PC barrel puts my short load into 5" at 50 yds. No bragging rights there, but my 6" 14-7 will put the same load into 2". Go figure. Both rested with optics. So be it, it will be 2 cylinders full all in the name of science. Now if I could get Carmoney's Ransom Rest that would be the real test.

hearthco Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 For me, there is less of a case/moonclip to eject from the gun in a real time situation. I have had full 38 Special cases/moons get hung up when I am going at full speed whereas with the Short colts I have not been able to make it happen again. This is at a reload intensive match, such as the PSA Shootout, in which you are doing 4-8 reloads off the table, belt or whatever you want to do. In shooting the IRC the last two years with Shorts I have not had an ejection problem as well. I know for myself, I can reload the Shorts faster moonclipped with a true roundnose bullet than I can Specials with the same bullet. I went out with the timer and ammo and tried it. This is true for myself, but may not be the same for anyone else. Of course with all the money I have tied up in Short colt brass and Hearthco moons it would be silly to say anything otherwise too..... DougC Well spoken Doug!!

Carmoney Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Not sure, actually. I think it's back in my basement. You gotta watch that Doug C, he'll just keep stuff until you ask for it back! My 11-87 slug gun went missing for several years once, until I finally thought to ask Doug whether he had it. Sure enough, there it was, right there in his safe!
