Just following up to my original post. In the 4" .357 Mountain Gun, both the 180gr Buffalo Bore (Hard Cast LFN-GC 1,400fps/M.E. 783 ft. lbs.) and the 200gr Cor-bon (Hard Cast 1150fps/587ftlbs) are accurate to 2" at 25yds, though the 200 is a bit more— within 1.25-.50, and the 200 is the one I was able to put through the center of the target. If I were a better shot, perhaps the BB would have centered as well. Interesting enough, the 180 kicks a little more than the 200, which is more of a push. And there's more flash with the 180. Both are fun to shoot. On a related note, the 158gr BB (J.H.C. 1,475fps/M.E. 763 ft. lbs.) is louder, more flash, and is a little harsher. Go figure.
