The weather cleared up ... the sun came out .. and I got to the range

Post by JimT »

Took my .357 and ran a couple hundred rounds through it this afternoon. Used some handloads that I loaded maybe 20 years ago! 160 gr. cast SWC over a heavy load of AA7. Shooting 20 yards.

Seems I should go to shooting 3 or 4 shot groups instead of 5!

I stick with one-shot groups. Always sub-MOA. :D

Looks like pretty fine shooting to me, Jim. Just realized it is unusual for me to shoot more than 50 or 60 rounds of centerfire handgun per range session.

Y'All are Way Ahead of me. I usually shoot at 3 clam shells on the beach. If I break them we're good to go. Of if I can hit a can 3 times, then we're good. When I was subsistence hunting I couldn't afford a lot of play ammo. .22s were the unrestricted rounds. I used to see how many holes I could put in a can dropped in the wake of the boat. Before it sank. And I don't recall ever shooting the revolvers double action. It sure would be great to do some Tx style shooting. 8)

If you are ever in the area I would be happy to take you to this private range.

Thanks but in truth I cannot do that much anymore. I did not post the ones that look like shotgun patterns.
