Range Report

Post by Sunkist357 » Mon Jul 04, 2016 9:06 pm

Here's my Steel 357 and a pic of a target from Saturday. The first 10 were mostly in the 6 ring with a couple nicking the 8 ring. The second group of ten were all in the 8 ring with a couple 10 ring shots.These are all 140 XTP handloads using AA #9 powder.

25 yds in an indoor range. THE GROUPS TO FOLLOW WEREN'T AS PRETTY :( My rear sight was moving to the right and I didn't realize it was happening. I had switched to 158 SWC and the point of impact dropped too. I wasn't surprised by that so much. The combination of both was a mystery until I put some thumb pressure on the sight and felt it move. I'm putting Skinner sights on it before my next trip to a range so I'll be starting from scratch again. I know now the rifle will do it if I do my part.
