Here’s a link to a video of my first range session with my new BBS Carbine in 357 magnum. Bear in mind I am not a professional videographer or shooter.

Nice! The best part is the "devastation left behind..." Aluminum shrapnel!

impressive video .... good effort indeed .... when it comes to rifles, I don't believe the 357 gets anywhere near as much respect as it deserves

I can't imagine shooting up good soda, so it must be really awful tasting. Reminds me of Sci-Fi 'red shirts' that get vaporized. From the camera's eye those cans just disappeared.

I agree 100%, have one in a Rossi, very fun rifle, and a nice deer rifle around these parts.
I actually took a pretty nice 8 point the first year I got mine.
About 90-95 yds., one shot with a 158 gr cast bullet he went 5 to 10 feet and that was it.
And that was my first handload to take game.

I got that soda from Sam’s Club. 24 cans for $5.28 and tax. I’ve never tried drinking it. I feel like it was designed specifically for target use.

Pretty much vaporized them.

Great shooting while managing a camera! Yes sir the .357 Mag does the job on the cans.
Try some "2 liter" hunting...I think they are in season most everywhere now!
