Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Sorry, a major miss on my part. It was laying right there, I swear! I tried to fudge it a bit with the pink top to the ammo box, but, clearly, no dice!

Sorry, didn't get to the range this week for this 357 Mag shoot-out.

And, now that I've gone back through the thread, I think I'll add a few rounds of the "MisterEd Special," a 158 gr JHP/7.0 Gr Unique combo.

Actually this would be with a 158 grain plated SWC bullet.
I am currently splitting it between Xtreme and HSM - but will probably stick with HSM as they shoot very accurately and are available locally.
