Thanks Guys.....that pretty much what I thought or have experienced. I have a Millett, SP-Series red dot scope on my MKIII. I bought it because it seemed to be more compact than others I looked at. I think it has really helped me with my shooting. Over the past year I've been trying different types ...

I come to the experts.....

Hi Fellows,

Please tell me everything I need to know about "Red Dot" scopes (sights). The advantages, the disadvantages.....your opinions.

Thanks in advance.

Don

(yes...I've been using one on my MKIII, but I'm not sure it is the right thing to do.)

Hi Gents,

Thanks for all your replies and encouragement. :mrgreen: I guess I was expecting too much. It just bothers me when I leave the range and I feel I didn't learn anything. :(

I'm getting a bit discouraged.....

Hi Folks, As I've stated previously, I'm new to this shooting sport. However, I do go to the range every week and practice. I listen to those more experienced than myself, try new things and attempt to learn. Some days at the range I'm very happy....some days not so happy AND I DON'T KNOW WHY! :x Wh...

Does frequency of rounds shot have something to due with longevity of a barrel? I figure the barrel would heat up more with the higher frequncy. Haka I shoot 300-400 rounds through my Ruger MKIII within an hour, each week. Last week I used CCI SV ammo (not copper plated) and I noticed the barrel wa...

Thanks Gents for the information. :D

I've noticed some bullets which are not copper plated but they are obviously not bare lead either. They appear to have a black coating of some type. What would that be? :?

Lead vs Copper Plated Lead?

Hi Fellows, I was first lead (no pun intended :D ) to believe that copper plated bullets wouldn't muck-up your barrel as fast. It seems to me copper is nearly as soft as lead so how does that help :?: What is the reasoning for using copper plated bullets or is there some reason you would use one ove...

Hi greener,

I think I'll pass on that experiment. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Question; if the S&W Governor can shoot 45 ACPs with a "moon ring".....why couldn't you do the same with the Judge?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies. That's pretty much as I thought.

Is it possible to buy "match" 22LR ammo? I've never seen that.
