These are what I would call plinking or practice loads using Bayou SWC 215 grain Hi-Tek coated bullets.  This will be my practice load for a good while as it is accurate and easy to shoot.  I was hitting what I was aiming at 50 yards with open sites.  I am sure with a scope or a shooter with better eyes and steady hands could hold very tight groups at 5o yards with this load.   I was using a Ruger Redhawk with 7 1/2" barrel.
