Some folks asked me at the Military Nationals how the 4" Model 16 was shooting. I hadn't had a chance to do much before I went east to Iowa, but here is the best of the 1st days shooting at 50 feet offhand. SAECO 325 from scrap alloy, 0.313" NRA lube, 2.5 grains of Bullseye in Fed 32 H&R Mag cases.

That's REAL good shooting. 

Long time Caster/Reloader, Getting back into it after almost 10yrs. Life Member NRA 40+yrs, Life S.A.S.S. #375. Does this mean a description of me as a fumble-fingered knuckle-draggin' baboon. I also drool in my sleep. I firmly believe that true happiness is a warm gun. Did I mention how much I HATE auto-correct on this blasted tablet.

That is the best out of maybe 12 five-shot groups, so luck has a lot to do with that .The rest were all bigger about 2 inches, but the gun will shoot! Looking for a 1000 f/s load that will do that, as I have Longs and ACP's for lighter loads. Willing to take hints from those who have gone before. (This is better than any of my Ruger's ever shot!!!)

Six, a full cylinder full. There are four in that center cluster. Lots of luck in that group, but gun shoots well..
