Rossi 92 .357 on the way!

[elmacgyver0]

Very nice, but it looks a little out of place with those handguns.

[Silvercreek Farmer]

I LOVE mine.

I tuned it up using the DVD a a guide, https://store.stevesgunz.com/index.p...&products_id=2

It's so smooth that when my daughter was in elementary school, she could cycle the action with one finger.

I ordered a MARBLE rear sight from BROWNELLS

This was during the horrible Obama era, when 22LR was impossible to find.

I taught both daughters to shoot it with 125gr RNFP and 3.0gr CLAYS, very mild.

with H110/w296 or 2400, it's a powerful little carbine.


16" 1892 H110/win296 chrony data

125gr XTP - 2241fps

140gr XTP - 1963fps

158gr XTP - 1748

168gr LEE SWC-GC - 1882

Nice range! Wish I had the right spot for one like that!

Sounds great. What charges of 110/296 are you using? PM them to me if you'd rather not speak publicly.

I have one of these sights. It’s a great help for sighting the rifle. The rifle is a lot of fun to shoot.

[Charlie Horse]

I like mine.

[fecmech]

Both my Rossi .357's like the Lee 125RF the best of anything. Loaded in .357 case with 4.5grs of Bullseye it's an honest 3moa rifle all day at 100yds. The load runs 1200fps. You can push that bullet with Power Pistol or BE86 to 1400fps and still get most of that 3moa. Great rifles IMO.

[Froogal]

Thanks. Hopefully mine will he good to go. The owner of this shop stands behind everything he sells even if the factory doesn't. The one and only time I had to use TauRossi service they took care of me 100%. Anybody try the Lee 358-158-RF in it? My Marlin and revolvers love this Boolit.

The .358-158 RF is standard issue for my Rossi 92. I use it for .38s AND .357s.

[papaglenn]

What are you guys sizing your bullets to? I have a new Rossi 357 on the way.

Thanks

[jstanfield103]

I have three rifles this exact style. The other two are New Winchesters. Here is my Rossi 92 .357 Mag. Love it. Congratulations on finding yours.

[FergusonTO35]

Thanks. What charge for the 168 grain SWC? You ever try the Lee 358-158-RF? It will take a gas check no problem.

One mod I found helpful on mine was to change out the factory ejector spring for a hardware store or EBay Century C530 spring.

This not only lessens the effort needed to work the action, it also drops empties at your feet rather than flinging them to parts unknown.

Several YouTube videos to help you along.

I use the Miroku Winchester 92 ejector springs in all of mine, I found those others to be too light. The Lee 358-158 RF works great for me.

Awesome, will remember that.

What loads do you use with the Lee boolit? You use gas checks on them?

[FergusonTO35]

Ya know, I think I am going to be focusing on woods rifles from now on. I exclusively hunt in the thick woods, and can't really hit anything beyond 100 yards anyway. Next project will probably be to put a shorter barrel on my 6.5 Creedmoor.

[Bazoo]

My buddies Rossi has some mini14 ejection. I mean it sends them in low orbit. It also will mangle the mouth slightly. He don’t reload and it don’t phase him.

[FergusonTO35]

I have read about that. Hopefully mine won't do it, but apparently there is a fix for it.

[r80rt]

I don't use gas checks, and 6 grains of unique with the Lee 358-158 RF makes a dandy field load for me.

[Bazoo]

My other buddy that has one has tuned his and it doesn’t have all those negatives. But the first buddy, He’ll bring it down for me to shoot if I supply ammo for myself. I just don’t want my brass mangled. It’s a fun little fun and I want one I tell ya what. One with out a wallowed out feed ramp.
