Another 180 gr 357 test

Post by Vaquero » Sun Jan 05, 2020 2:12 pm

Well several of y'all have been playing with the 180 gr pills in your Henrys.
This morning I decided to try a couple different loads with some 180's i have.
Down behind the barn with the Rossi and it's 24" barrel.
I have shot a lot of Blue dot through this rifle.
Looks like the 2400 had a slight edge over the BD. :lol:
Five shot groups from the bench at 50 yds.

9.4 grs Blue dot
11.4 grs 2400
31.1 grs H 110.

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.......

Al, I bought these a few years back, came from Texas.
Bought like 500, down to less than a hundred. Not sure what they are.
