    Rossi 357 and 180 "pugnose"?

    https://missouribullet.com/details.p...5&secondary=10

    This is the bullet style I am wanting to try for hunting in my Rossi 92. It is a 20" barrel 357 Mag that I just got a week ago used. Has anybody had experience with this design in the 92? SWC sometimes catches the mouth when feeding, WC will not chamber at all from the mag, and I really do not want to shoot just jacketed in this thing. The JSP rounds I have shot in it feed and shoot amazingly well. I want a heavy full power load for hunting, and a reduced RN (probably 125gr) for general plinking and small vermin-both lead or coated lead.

    You might want to post this in the Rossi forum. A lot of 357 shooters there.

    Thanks for the link. In all my searches, that group never came up.

    Good looking bullet.

    Lee 158 RF works well for many,it has quite a similar nose.

    These Rossis seem to be individuals in what they feed.

    Here is my recent favorite, 180 grains when cast FN.
