357 Magnum loads

[Nevada Ed]

Finally got out to shoot some old loads and see how well they did
even though I can't shoot as well as I did eight years ago, before my neck surgery,
that fused four disc and messed with my nerves in my right arm.

I even tried the Laser beam on a few loads but it was bouncing all over the place
and the open factory sights were just as good, for me, almost.
I still had a flyer, now and then but it was great to get out and feel what a full loaded
.357 recoil feels like vs a full +P 9mm out of a 5" barrel, thats seems "Wimppy" to me, in respects.

I know for a fact, that the 357 loads, toss out a lot more flash and bang, than any 9mm load.

Here is my target that has a few different type loads from light to factory fps.
The HS-6 powder sent powder back into my face, which I detest !!
"Blow back" is not a good thing and I will be pulling the bullets on this box of ammo.

Happy New Years to all.

Ed, looks like you guys got less snow. My spots are still covered and then after, the muds comes. Don't see going out for another couple of months unless I go to the public ranges.

Here in Reno, lots of snow in the areas with shade.

My neighbors house shades the North side of his house with the low winter sun
to where I still have 4" of snow to wade through to get the garbage containers out, to the street.

I would shovel it but it has a hard frozen top crust and ice frozen bottom.

Yes, the indoor range just has to do, for now.
Messed up a little on my last visit.

I forgot my 9mm ammo loader, but the good thing is that they had free ones, to make things easier, for me. "Purple" even.

Looks like 231 should be on my list - nice work!
