Was running more test loads through my OM 357 that Matt at Tyler Gun Works converted into a 45 Auto Rim & had some interesting results today.
I had made up a few loads using the Miha 205 gr RN HP using both Unique & Longshot along with my more proven load of the Miha 223 gr SWC HP using Longshot. Don't use any of these loads in your gun, none are published loads, always work up your own loads in YOUR gun!
You will see that one target only has 3 shots, I had two rounds that wouldn't chamber, I think it was because of my crimp. Anyway the load shows promise & I'll run it again for sure.
What surprised me was the 223 gr SWC at 50 yds, it was the first time I had shot any loads at 50 yds & I was very happy with the results. Both of the black targets you see already had 3 smaller bullets holes in them, looked like maybe a 30 caliber rifle. The first time I shot the top target I was cross firing from another bench, the second time I moved over & was more in line with the bottom black target. I was very happy with both targets. The first little berm is at 25 yds where I had my target.
This 223 gr SWC HP is going to be a dandy bullet for deer this fall.
