I've been running a lot of rounds down the tube of my Ruger 357 Maxi, its the 10 1/2" version & since I put the Ultra Dot red dot scope on top its really proving to be a shooter.
A few weeks ago I posted a photo of a 5 shot group that measured 1 3/4" at 50 yds with it & since that time I've tried a number of loads trying to beat that group. My earlier load was the 205 gr LBT GC slug pushed by 18 grs of IMR 4227 & a CCI small rifle mag primer. I was really trying to get the velocity us 100 fps or so, I could gain the velocity with other powders but the accuracy wasn't there so today I went back to the original load & after missing the target with the first 3 shots (left) I got on the paper with the 4th shot, adjusted right & high for the 5th shot & then ran 5 more shots, all pretty much centered in the black with 4 shots in 1/2", this is going to be MY load, I'm through looking! :wink: I plan on giving this gun & scope combo a good workout this fall, if I miss a buck it won't be the guns fault. :roll: The final 5 shot group measured 1.258" at 50 yds, I'm ready.
