GP 100 Build-up

[Dano136]

I have not worked up a good .357 round for it yet but some 148g LSWC in 38 are holding some very good groups (bulleye style). 9# Wolf hammer spring and buffed everything that moves. Result is #8 DA and just under #3 SA. BTW that's a 30mm Ultradot setting on top.

Nice 'Build' but now we got to get some .357 magnum rounds going down range about 50 yards instead of those powder puff loads. :mrgreen:

I happen to have the same gun and scope mount, but with a 2X Leupold on it. 14.5 grains of 2400 and a 180 grain Remington bullet gets me to 1225 fps and groups 2" at 50 yds. from a sandbag rest.

Very interesting looking rig. I assume you're setting it up for hunting?

I have a lot of 2400, I'll try the bullets out.

Dano,

Your GP-100 is as good as any revolver can get. Very nice weapon!
