I shot my new to me 696-1 today. I really liked the way it felt and I was very pleased with the way it shot. A fellow THR member, Treebeard, sold it to me to help finance another want of his (we all know how that one goes) He knew I liked the .44 Spl. and gave me first dibs. Many thanks. It was a pleasure to do buisness and he made it go very smoothly.
I had some Magnus 215 Gr. SWC's loaded up in Midway .44 Spl. brass (remember that stuff old timers) with 4.3 Grs. of the last bit of Solo 1000 I was using up. (700X shoots better for me here). I also had some Remington 180 & 210 Gr. JHP's loaded in Starline .44 Russian brass with 3.9 Grs. 700X for each.
I shot the 1st target with the 215 SWC's.
I shot the 2nd target with the 180 Gr. JHP's.
I shot the 3rd target with the 210 Gr. JHP's.

I am a happy camper. I am going to work up a load with .44 Spl brass and the Remington 180 JHP's for range shooting.
