I have S&W 686-3, 6", and it's fine gun. The loads I am using now are 148 grain WC and 158 SWC, at about 900-1000 fps for target shooting, but for more fun I am thinking about 155-160 grain lead bullets at 1200 fps. As a matter of fact, I purchased this 8-cavity bullet mold https://www.mp-molds.com/product/360-640-solid-6-cavity-plain-base-mold/ . Didn't try it yet, waiting for fellow shooter to finish his shooting range.
Despite fine 686, I always admired Ruger Security Six 6", it's balance and reasonable weight. The truth is I also like a lot S&W 66, 6", but because it cannot compare in strength and durability with Security Six, I ruled out 66 as my next revolver. At first, I didn't think about getting Security Six, but I learned that few in stainless steel might be for sale, including one with scalloped shield.
So, before rushing to get Security Six, I would like to know what is your experience with 6" Security Six regarding accuracy with lead bullets, and how it compares with GP100 and S&W 686?
Thanks!
