My new Ruger 77/357 and bagged a real trophy.

Just what I need, more info on a rifle concept I find attractive as can be. THANKS LOADS, you enablers!!

Now I clean mine by flushing it out with rubbing alcohol and use the air compressor to blow it dry and clean.

I'd say that is a very smart approach. Those rotary mags. can require 6 sets of hands to get back together.

I took apart one of my mag's for the 77/22 Hornet

I ended up use ing it as a target
As I was so frustrated , 2 of us worked close to a hour trying to get it back togeather

Last time I ever will make that mistake again

Rear locking lugs should not be a problem in a straight case as there is not shoulder to reform forward when the lugs spring back. And I wouldn't think that it could spring any more than the hinge on a TC does.

One of mine is back at the factory being put back together, and to have that foolish spring replaced. They have a cool tool there that does that so easily, so I only cussed a couple of hours before just putting the pieces together, and shipping it off. I did learn a few new applications of old word phrases in the process though.

Rear locking hasn't been a problem with any one of them I have loaded for. Surprisingly though, the Ruger rotary magazine guns have no primary extraction cam as do most bolt actions so if a case sticks a bit, it can be tougher to get started out. The bolt handle will open just fine, but pulling it to the rear doesn't work so well.

I was looking for info on the 77/357 in the left handed version but could not find anything except Where did you find yours, and how long have you had it. Thanks

Few missions on a rifle bench inspire more creative language than re-assembling a Ruger rotary magazine.

I understand completely. I've got a 358 Win and I'm still hankering for one if these little Ruger Carbines.

How Do You Like Your 77/357?

Did you shoot any cast bullet loads?

I have been wanting one of these and have not heard anything yet...

[bogman]

I love my 77/.357 It shoots SNS casting co. 158gr. flat point (TC) with 6gr. Unique into a ragged hole at 40yds. It will also shoot a ragged hole at 65yds. with 158gr. Hornady XTP's & 13.6gr. Alliant 2400. I havn't grouped it at 100yds. yet, my range is not that long. I have taken the scope off & installed a NECG peep site. I love peep sites.

What was the bullet exspansion like on that Catapillar?
Did you hit it right behind the first shoulder...second shoulder...third shoulder..etc.
