C358-180-f

[Junior1942]

Boys, I had to trim my cases. See http://www.castbullet.com/shooting/rossi-s4.htm

This afternoon I rezeroed my Rossi 357's peep sights from a beer can & bad guy load to the C358-180-F deer and hog load. Put 3 shots in 2 1/2" @ 50 yards. Last shot went in the center of the group using the peep as a ghost ring. I'm ready for regular rifle deer season in 28 days.

I reduced the charge to 15.5 grs Lil'Gun for an AV of 1755 fps.

With a sling and 19, 190 gr rounds in and on the Rossi 357 it weighs only 7 lbs 4.6 oz.

So far, I've only had to crimp above the crimp groove. I still get 16gr (+/- .02) with the Lee 1000, and I've sized my 1.3 dipper to throw 15.5-16.0 , but I would really like to have a single cavity mould that was sized to crimp at 1.55... with a HP pin.

OI, if you'd seen the hole in my front yard made by that bullet, you wouldn't want a HP. The meplat does a heck of a job.

Patmarlin, thanks for the kind words!
