    Dan Wesson Target

    Here is a paper plate target from 1976 that I shot using my 6" Dan Wesson 357 mag.

    Prone at 80 yards with 158gr JSP-word. The Speer label is incorrectly stating 258 gr.

    The rounds were loaded with my Lee Loader and a mallet, using 11.5 grains of H2400. Shortly after that I got a green machine and lots of nice dies for other arms.
