Again, .357 brass, 158gn truncated cone in front of 4.4gn of N320.
I accidentally bought a box of 158gn RNFP bullets a couple of years ago... couldn't get them to group, even at 25yds.
(This is in a Marlin 1894)
What ammunition are people using for a.38/.357 Rossi

No, just factory loads to start with and then I'll look into reloading but buy bullet heads.Sent from my Moto G (5) using "An application"Dahonis wrote:Unsure about weight and such.
If you plan to use cast, learn from my mistake, slug the bore!!!

If your only comment on a post from weeks ago is a correction to the terminology rather than advice, then maybe don't add your own errors. Must admit the irony of this brightened up a miserable morningAlpha1 wrote:They are not heads they are bullets heads are some were you go to take a dump.swotty wrote:Ah, will do!

Re: What ammunition are people using for a.38/.357 Rossi
I had a Rossi in the 1990s: put about 10 thousand rounds through it with no trouble at all. Accuracy was excellent. I only sold it because I have an original Winchester in 44=40 which was not getting used enough and I did not need two lever action rifles. I used 357 cases with 5 grains of Unique and a Lee 150 grn round nosed bullet cast fron a 25 : 1 lead / tin mix.
