Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns The 357 Magnum

Though I loathe the round I do like some of its offerings.

I like the 357 because the guns are light and you can shoot it all day long without beating you up or going broke on handloads. I can't imagine a 200 gr cast @ 1200 fps bouncing off a deer and throttle down to 160's @ 1000 fps and you have a small game & plinking round w/o peer.

This piece shoots great but does not see 357 Mag ammo.

That's a Max isn't it?

Yeah, I really don't think they work all that well, just a passing fad.

I had a nice Ruger Blackhawk, stales in .357MAG. for 200 bucks. I wish I didn't sell it. It was surprisingly accurate. I just didn't shoot it that much at all. I almost alway sweet with 38. SPC. I want another but am afraid I won't shoot it cause I have a Ruger SR9E and a Ruger 22 MARK lll.

Well, ihookem, the beauty of the sickness is that you don't have to shoot them to want to give them a home....

what ammo did you use on the hawg. I've been wondering what the proper bullet selection for those animals is.

Any of you 357 fans need a set of Dillon .357 dies? I was digging through some stuff looking for 45 brass the other day and found a set I'd got in a trade and forgot about.

I'll ship and you pay shipping plus whatever you think they're worth after checking them out.
