I loved the Colt otherwise but that issue sent it down the road. Direct Impingement is the Fart Joke of military rifle operating systems. ⓒ

You might also want to try Underwood (180s). Double tap is another source of 200gr 357s but currently out of stock.

I will double check that and probably pick up some underwood. Seems the OAL on the Underwood stuff is a safer bet.

Properly placed, the .357 will work for you, but, that is with anything…..rifle or handgun! Good Luck on your elk hunt, and may your .357 cartridges be wasted money! memtb Last edited by memtb; 07/15/22.

Huh, 200 grain .357. I may grab a couple boxes and try it myself. Just for giggles though, to be fair, grizzly encounters are highly unlikely in Kansas.

I appreciate the advice and also the well wishes! Will definitely keep my rifle handy and hope the revolver is a waste of weight and space.
