I picked up a new to me gun the other day and took it to an indoor range to give it a whirl. I brought some factory ammo with me, nothing fancy. And a couple of sets of stocks to try out on it.

Gun is a S&W 24-3 in 44 Spl. 6 1/2" barrel. From a run of 7500 they did in 1984-84.

I'm a run of the mill shot who always fights a flinch so the gun is much better than I am, which is usually the case.

Here are two groups both shot at about 12 yards. Weaver stance. On the left 12 rounds of Speer 200 gr. GDHP. Out of every 44 Spl. I own this is an accurate round.

On the right 18 rounds of Winchester 246 gr. LRN.

I did not adjust the sights for the different weight bullets. Just aimed a bit higher for the lighter.



Flyers were my fault. A better shot coulda had one hole.



Here also are two groups shot with the light loaded Magtech 240 gr. LFN, again at 12 yards.



A good gun. I need to get it over a rest and a good reload.
