Let's review:
I was looking for a centerfire to shoot the iron sight class of silhouette matches.
Enter the 14-3 (a "not rare", but pretty piece).
Turns out the 14-3 was far nicer than I expected and wasn't best for high round counts of +P ammo.
I tried reloads in the 14-3.
Non +P ammo turned out to be a little light for the heaviest steel plates and often turned them sideways instead of knocking them down.
After selling the 14-3, I bought a ported 629 to shoot .44 Special, a solid plate knocker.
I made enough on the 14-3 to own the 629 for "Taurus" money. (wink, wink)
If I don't shoot the 629 well, it too will be replaced.
