Not too bad of a 25 yard group today, 38 grains 2fg Swiss and a ball.
Mostly though, I just wanted to unload the gun as it got quite wet while wet-forming it to it's new holster. The gun got very wet, several times, so I was curious if there would be any miss-fires.
There were no misfires or hang fires. What I actually "blame" that on is that I like very tight fitting caps on my revolvers. What I prefer, and how they fit on the R&S (and my Colts and Remington) is where I have to press them on the rest of the way with the hammer, and then they should not be able to be picked off with a finger nail, and should be difficult with a pocket knife. Maybe not most people's cup of tea, but it's what I like because I always thought it would make it more unlikely for water to kill the cap.
I've seen two videos, one by In Range TV, where they just sprinkled a little water on the gun, and then got lots of misfires. Then they would remove a cap, easily, and sure enough the priming was mush. Methinks, that if you want the gun to fire in wet, unforeseen circumstances, that tight caps are a good thing.
What say you, homies?
