Hi all, I finally picked up a brand new Ruger 77/357mag today and I'm itching to put some rounds down range.
Problem is the local shop was out of jacketed projectiles for me to load and the factory ammo was over priced. What's the opinion, is it ok to put some cast loads through a brand new barrel after a good hoppe's scrubbing or should I wait and use jacketed to smooth out the barrel?
Thanks for your thoughts, Dave.
