I can't get no satisfaction using cast bullets in my Rossi 92 in 357 mag mode at 100 yards, tho' it'll put ten Lee 125 flatnoses into one ragged hole at 25 yards, loaded as a light 38 Special (3 grains Vectan BA10 for approx 1,000fps)
I've tried cast bullet weights from 110 to 180 (the 110s made 2,100 fps) water-cooled linotype, but at 100 yards the target always looks like a buckshot pattern.
I'm too cheap to buy jacketed bullets for the 357, so PPCBs seem the way to go next.
Has anyone used PPCBs in a 357 rifle? I'm looking for a 2" group at 100 - velocity and foot-poundage irrelevant, just punching paper. Is that realistic or am I just kidding myself..?
