BBS Back

Post by leverjc » Thu Feb 16, 2023 2:32 pm

I heard from Shawn from Diamond T Rifle and should have my BBS back with a 24" Shilen Barrel. I am looking forward to having a .357 rifle I can actually hit something with. I think it will be a great pistol cal Silhouette gun. I am like a kid on Cristmas Eve.

I am interested to see what loadings you use for that long barrel.

Above all else (except safety) - have fun!!!

Around 12.5 grs. of 2400, and 9.5 grs. of Blue dot under that 180 gr. Pugnose bullet from Missouri Bullet co. is a real shooter in my Rossi 357 with the 24" octagon barrel. ;)
