Oh boy, first post in some time. Overseas right now; Philippines and Vietnam. So wi-go has been sporadic at best. Great results there Evan. I’ll have to try 14.5gr 2400 when I get back. Anyway, I’ll check in later. Back on 3-4-‘19. Ta-ta!

158g XTP bullets are some of the most accurate I've fired out of my EMF Hartford .357 Magnum lever action. Here is my recipe and range results with iron sights.

Hornady 158g XTP + 9.0g HS-6 + WSP + Starline .357 brass @ 1.605” C.O.L.
Group = 1-3/8” W x ¾” H @ 50 Meters – 10 shot group off bench.
AV-1353 fps HV/LV-1363/1341 fps ES/SD-22/8 fps
