Ok, I will admit I was highly skeptical at first, but I think Targa totally nailed it.
Shooting 158gr .357 HP and XTP from Freedom at 100 yards yields the same result of near dead on POI, while 158gr .38 Spl hits around 6 inches high.
I'm not any kind of marksman by any means (although I did qualify "expert" with my M16 back in 1975), but being able to hit clay fragments at 100 yards with iron sights, shooting standing offhand, just makes me ridiculously happy.
Ok, I love this rifle.
