This is a target that I shot at about ten yards with the Snubbie on Steroids:

For comparison, this target was shot with a Smith & Wesson Model 29 with a 6" barrel:

My accuracy apparently didn't suffer much between the barrel lengths.

Same ammunition for both (Federal .44 Special semi-wadcutters of 1980s vintage). That cartridge came in 50-round boxes; I don't believe they sell them that way any more. I tried the Mosin stripper clips and they worked very well: I was able to load two cambers at once and strip them right out. The stripper clips do lightly scratch the brass, so you have to decide if that is an issue for you.
