Made it home in time to try out some more 45's.
5 shot groups, at 50yds.
Played with the Rossi and the Pugnose's in between.
EDIT:(in a previous pic I wrote the wrong load on the target, but with the sharp eyes of members/friends here I am correcting that) 11.4 of 2400 and the Pugnose 357. I do apologize .
RR would have been proud, doing the one knee I was ringing that 10" at roughly 70yds.

That 9.5 Unique seems to keep all of them in a nice cluster. Now the Pugs...was that 9.4 of 2400 in the 357 mag case?

Sorry forty, 11.4, but I didn't take as much time with them like I did with the 45's.
That North wind was starting to get to me.

GD ...sure am happy I don't re-load. I applaud those who do, but as much as I shoot, I can't be bothered. Keep on keeping on with your reloading science. More power to all of you who do.

Mark I find it both fun and rewarding, something to do on those cold/rainy days.
Just keep good notes, and don't have brain farts when writing on your targets.
I won't be forgetting that one for a while.
Thanks forty and Tom for CALLING me out.

Naw, no call out and certainly no apology needed. Ah, we ALL do it! Part of the program.

No problem...I thought it was a new load you were testing at a low level. Thanks for correction!

All the 45's were the 250 gr RNFP Brazos bullets.

Went over beside the barn this morning before I left.
One knee around 80 yds, hit the big 10" hit 8 out of ten with the 357's.
I'm liking that, missed the first & third.

She was awake,
but the barn is far enough away as not to really disturb her anyway.
