RJM52, I'm 50ft/6 O'clock hold/resting/158 Meister Hard Cast, 4.8gr Bullseye (CCI 500, Midway Brass)in my Charter Arms 6" 357 Magnum.
Hey guys I'm looking for recipes for the 178 grain Matts SWC, powders I have available are Bullseye, 2400, Red Dot, W231 and Unique. I'm looking for a light to medium load (below 1000fps). My goal is...
Thanks Larry! Ran some 148 HBWC/Bullseye 3gr. still a little low...309586
Going to try it in 357 Magnum range albeit on the lower velocity range.
Thanks NSB, trying to avoid the front sight filing as this was a "prototype" barrel Charter built awhile ago. Bought it for the "Indiana Jones" look! LOL309585
I am trying to dial in a fixed sight Charter Arms 357 (six inch barrel) and my 38 Specials (158 grain, 4 grains Unique) are hitting about 5 inches too low on a 50ft target. I'm thinking a heavier...
Thanks racepres! Looking forward to experimenting, I really like this revolver and don't want to abuse it too much:smile:
I have a Uberti Callahan that is shooting low at 25 yards and want to try some heavier bullets to increase the dwell time before filing the front sight down. Has anyone have any experience with this...
I want to try reloading some target range cartridges for my Cimmaron Winchester copy 1885 and Browning 1886. My club has a range of 200 yards max so this is the farthest I would shoot for now. I like...
Thanks Thumb cocker for joining in! Put your recipe on the books!
Short tube, 4.75 like yours. My profile pic is my actual gun. Mine is in 44 magnum as a companion piece for my Winchester. Need something for when the deer sneak up behind me lol@!
Thinking about trying mine in my Winnie also, will let you know how it turns out!
Not a problem 44, any suggested charge weights with those powders? I read somewhere on this site you can use a heavier bullet charge starting load and work from there...sound right? Thanks again!
Thanks again Grmps! Think I roll up some with Bullseye and W231 for comparison...I sure would have liked to see that black bear the "Kidd" shot at 13yds. I think I would have just about wet my...
Hey Flailguy, those are some HUGH bullets! Rifle or handgun?
Thanks Grmp! Looks like a snapshot from my Lymans Cast Bullet Handbook. I believe the #2 alloy has a BHN of 15, since my bullets are 5 grains lighter and a softer alloy (12BHN advertised) I was...
I like the results softer lead gives me (aka cowboy loads) with the plain base. The bullets I purchased from Desperado are excellent and little to no leading, but I still like to tinker...
Thanks 44Mag#1, no worries here about my feelings lol, just playing with the bullet weights now to see what she likes before dialing it in.
Sorry guys my mistake (uggh) meant my revolver is shooting low, I had to aim at a piece of tape on the top of the target sheet to get my groups on paper...
I have a Uberti Callahan that is shooting high (correction: low) with my 240 grain loads and want to experiment with a heavier bullet to bring down the point of impact before I start filing the front...
