I couldn't wait on my dies to get here, so carefully loaded 6 rounds of 357 Sig with my 40 S&W dies with 90gr Lehighs, chronoed one yesterday at 1660 fps, put five on target into around 4 inches at 20 yards, the loads will only be more accurate loaded with proper dies and the Lee FCD, as a bonus, Longshot powder fills the case level so bullet set-back is impossible.
Next, took a massive cow femur leg bone and wrapped it with several layers of fabric, actually two old socks and a heavy cotton towel I had been saving for a gun rag, zip tied them all snug around the bone and had at it from10 yards, the little 90gr Lehigh punched it with ease and drilled a hell of a hole in the ground behind the bone, not live living green bone of course, but several times thicker than ours..
Had some concerns with such a light fast bullet shooting to the sights, and a penetration question due to momentum, not anymore, plus, recoil impulse is next to nil, what a little banger it is!
