Ok I am not sure where to place this so I am putting it here.
I have a Taurus Circuit Judge Carbine that I am working up some loads for my daughter to use this year for deer. I have been noticing that I am getting one flyer, then a group of two shots touching and another group of two shots touching about 3" apart from the other two shot group.
My question really goes out to the gunsmiths and revolver guys. Can my cylinder indexing be causing this or is it my loads? I don't know enough about revolvers to answer the first question. If it was a vertical string I would say hands down it is the loads but these tend to be at a 45deg angle to each other leading me to believe it may have to do with cylinder alignment?
If it is an alignment issue can this be fixed without costing more than the gun is worth? She absolutely loves the gun but I am not digging the pattern I am seeing. I have plans on marking the cylinders to see if there is a correlation but haven't had a chance yet. The plans are if I have two in a row that pattern well just mark then to be the first two rounds fired, shouldn't take more than one shot but just in case there would be a good follow up shot before things changed.
Thanks.
