I went to the range today mainly to check out my new to me Dan Wesson 715 6” with vent rib and heavy under-lug(frame kind of reminds me of a S&W 686). Overall, I am very pleased, which is good considering I traded one of my best shooting 1911’s for it.
All shots were from 15 yards off of a bench, 18 rounds on each target. Both the .38 Specials and the .357 Magnums were my reloads. The .38’s were 4.5 grains of W231 and the .357’s were 15 grains of H110, both behind a 158 grain copper plated bullet. Left target is .38 Special and the right is .357 Magnum.
I did shoot it a lot more than just the two targets pictured(about 100 rounds total), but the day was kind soured when I had a squib load(my fault, it was one of my reloads). I didn’t have my dowel with me to clear it, so I benched it and went on to shooting my M1 .30 Carbine and Henry lever in .357.
So, good day at the range with friends both shooting the guns and shooting the breeze.

Looks like it likes the hotter faster 357 mag rounds better than the 38s. Most of my Dan's are the same way.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
