Big Boy Brass 357 accuracy
Big Boy Brass 357 accuracy
1I’ve had my BBB 357 since January and I’ve put over 500 rounds through it. All but 20 rounds were Monarch 357 magnum SJHP brass cased. Monarch is Academy Sports’ private label which is made by PPU. At the time I received my rifle, this Ammo was on sale for $15.99 (marked down from $22.99). So I bought all they had. It seems to be clean burning and very accurate. The other 20 rounds I shot were 158gr 38 special. Out of the box my rifle was shooting to the right. I tapped the rear sight to the left a slight bit and presto! Now the windage seems to be spot on. The 357 rounds shoot to POA but the 38 special prints high left. No matter because I’m mostly going to shoot 357. Here are some pictures of my best groups from a rest. I’m no marksman but I’m very impressed with them. Especially out to 50 yards. At that range, the front bead covers all but the top edge of my paper plate targets. I love this rifle! I plan on getting a BBS carbine in 357 soon. As much as I love the BBB, the steel carbine has some advantages. It’s lighter, shorter and won’t blind you in bright sunlight. Also, the rubber buttpad sticks to your shoulder better than the slippery brass one.

I can’t bring myself to put a scope on it but I’d love to know what size groups that would produce.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: Big Boy Brass 357 accuracy
well done indeed ... my bet is that as you become more and more acquainted with your 357, those good groups will tighten up even more

Im with you on the scope on a lever gun. But someday I might eat those words as I aint as good as I once was in the eyes dept. Nice shooting 357 in a lever gun is alot of fun.

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.......

I respectfully disagree with your “no marksman” statement and agree that you have every reason to be impressed. Great shooting!I’m no marksman but I’m very impressed with them.
