Hi Deano, here’s the answer to your question.

100y and 82y of .357 out of my Bigboy brass carbine.

Cheers James.
Wow! Those are awesome groups for a pistol caliber round at those ranges! Very impressive. Thanks for posting, James!

I once put 3 holes under an inch at 100 yards with a brass .357.
Probably shoulda kept that thing, it was a shooter.

Going the scope route wasn't my first choice. Eyes going bad lead me down the scope path for my Henry. My first scoped rifle.
