I bought a Charter Bulldog when they were first introduced after reading Skeeter Skelton's write-up of them. In .44 Special, I loaded .44 Russian to ease extraction/ejection. these with the Speer 225 gr. half jacketed bullet.
One day on the range I was about to leave when I broke out the Charter. There were remnants of snow on the berm 110 yards down range. I picked out some snow about the size of a dinner plate, maybe 10" in diameter. I began shooting at his little puff of snow, raising the front sight to walk my bullets. With the base of the front sight even with the top of the rear sight (Yep, the old "hog wallow" groove in the frame.) I began breaking up that snow puff. As Col. Askins once described it, it was "Elmer's little mortar," but the fact remans I was able to pound five shots into those little snow puffs. Impressed me that a 3 1/2" little revolver could do that consistently.
That was maybe 1979 or so. Wonder if I could still do that?
