Thats perfectly alright, we all have other commitments.

You are the second person to tell me they had problems with a GP (the other person claimed that a few dozen of them ordered for a police department didn't shoot etc). My Stainless GP has never done anything but shoot tight consistant, accurate groups. In fact on a good day I can make some very nice clovers at yardage. I wonder if there just hasn't been some bad runs. I have a 6" full barrel shroud GP in stainless btw. Also if there was a problem why not send it back to Ruger? I know the one time I saw an issue with a Ruger (Was on a Vaquero that was shooting right from a bench) they fixed it with a pretty durned quick turn around at no cost to the owner.

When I said it tends to prefere the golden sabers I was reffering to the fact that with the golden sabers (and with SOME runs of the winchester 110grain semi jacketed HPS) I can shoot one hole groups with it on a good day. Other types, weights, etc just don't shoot as well in it. In fact a box of winchester silver tips I had shot a 3 inch group at 25 yards. I thought something might have gone wrong with the gun. I loaded up a cylinder full of the winchester 110 grain bullets, and poof. One hole group. . . . .

Anyway the reason I was wondering about the rifle bullets is because 180 and 200 grain bullets are available for 357 caliber as a standard bullet for custom loads without haveing to go for rifle bullets. So I was confused (Yes I do need glasses btw I am not quite as near sighted as a bat, but danged near it)

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
