I spent most of today's range day shooting the postal match but I still had time to try out my new S&W 623 revolver in .327 Magnum.
I tried the American Eagle 100 gr SP. Recoil is managable, but man, that round has some sizzle! I was shooting @ 25 yards so my accuracy wasn't all that great. The target looked like it got hit by a 10- gauge loaded with buckshot. Not worth a picture.
I switched over to some Fiocchi 100 gr .32 Long WCs and suddenly I am in the Zen of target shooting. Smooth recoil and a satisfying thump on Mr. Gopher. It even outperformed the .22 I brought along to practice with.
I will have to try shorter ranges and different ammo in .327 Magnum to find a better balance. But for now, those .32 Long WCs are going to become standard.
