I tripped over an older F-1 Chrony from a handloader friend for a price I couldnt pass up. With the weather as nice as it was today, once the wife got home I had an urge to get some trigger time.
The load is 6.3gr of Unique thrown from my Hornady pistol measure, 357 brass, slinging a Lyman 358156, checked and lubed with BAC. I'm shooting it from my 5" M60.
Avg Velocity: 1047
High: 1061
Low: 1031
Standard Deviation: 11.9
The goal was a light 357 but something that has no business in any 38 or +P. Something that would disuade a curious coon or black bear from any shenanigans while wandering about in the woods this spring and summer. It shot a solid 3" group over 20 rounds SA, and 15 rounds 4.5" DA at 20 yards, which is about the best consistency I've ever shot with a pistol.
I really love the gun, and I think I've found my walkabout load for the spring and summer.
