Ok its just the European name for the 357 magnum but when shot in a Ruger @1A CHP or my new Handi-rifle 357 it needed an exotic name. I have shot 250-280g rifle bullets in my 357 rifle for 20 or so years. My new current Handi is throated very long and will chamber long seated rifle bullets. It shoots as well as my #1 or a custom martini I once owned.It was very windy today so most i did was at 50 yards.The few I shot at 100 were 1" tall by about 2" wide. At the end of the day I used 6.7g of Bullseye ( what my little dandy rotor #12 throws) and a Cramer 9c 250g@ 1140 fps and at 50 it was just over 1/2" groups in the wind. I also shot the RCBS 35-250 SP with all the TrailBoss it would hold(7g) and it also shot well @ 975.Oh yea the bullets were cast two hours before I shot them. Breaking all of the "rules"
It makes the 300 AAC Blackout in a single shot or bolt obsolete<G>If loaded "hot" with R7 you can get about 1400 fps. Anything slower don't burn well enough.
these were three consecutive groups as the sun went down. It was so windy empty 357 cases were blowing off of the bench.
