[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1828562, member: 70559"] I have a suggestion based on years of hunting with a .454. My favorite load was a 240 grain Freedom Arms bullet at 2,014 feet per second. I killed some deer with it and lots of jack rabbits; many running. My longest shot was 206 long steps. With that to establish some credibility I make this suggestion. I guess I was shooting it with one hand for holding but not for supporting it. I would put my left elbow against my chest. The left hand supported the pistol grip on the fat part of the palm down from the pinky finger. (The first time I fired it with the pistol grip IN the palm it really hurt. It came back before it started up.) The right hand held the back of the revolver so the it was about 10" from my face. This system allowed 6" groups at 100 yards from offhand. There were many times I fired five shots under 2" at 100 yards from the bench. While testing different loads and bullets I fired a twelve shot group with a vertical dispersion of 4" and a horizontal dispersion of 2". [/QUOTE]
