Smith .357 range report

[David LaPell]

I took the 27-2 out today in hopes of maybe (some small hope) of getting out after the whitetail so I have been sighting in all my handguns so capable of taking one one handed so I can actually shoot it as the left arm is still out of action. I set the target up at 20 yards with my handloads of 13.0 grains of 2400 with a 162 grain cast SWC #358156 gas checked bullet. Once sighted in it shoots pretty much right where I want it, not sure the velocity but the recoil isn't bad but it does have a bit of a blast (love the .357!).

Excellent shooting, very nice S&W! 8)

In my estimation, your load should be doing 1150 fps or thereabouts... :wink:

Sweet 27. I have a 5" one and want a 3.5" to go with it. I think you can take a whitetail at that range with your sixgun! Good luck.
