i stuck a 1.5-5x on my 77/357; have tried several load combinations so far to see if it would shoot well with 170/180gr bullets, but so far it has far preferred 140-weight-class bullets far over the various heavies i have tried.

the hornady 140XTP, some old Super-Vel 137 JSP's, and the Barnes 140 XPB all shot pretty well, so did the Winchester 145gr Silvertip factory loads.

i like the rifle quite a bit, still need to do something to the heavy factory trigger, but its a pretty useful trail gun for me.
