Finally shot my Ruger SP101 in .327mag and Bond arms derringer in 45colt/410.
The SP101 is for sure more accurate then I can shoot. I was shooting 78 grain bullet with minimum load of Trail Boss.
For the derringer I used cowboy loads that I had loaded for my black powder conversion, 5.5 grains of Trail Boss with 250 grain SW. I shot 12 rounds in the Bond and using cowboy loads wasn't abusive but the trigger is atrocious and accuracy, not so good.
The bad shooting on the target was at 13 yards offhand and the wind was blowing the box around a bit.

That's not so bad for a Derringer

The target is the 327 mag. Wished the Bond would do that, I only had two 7 yard 2 round groups that went about 1 inch each. the rest of them were about 10 inches.
