I picked up a box of Berrys plated 357s yesterday at the gun show. 125 gr.,flat point, for $82 per thou..
Set up the ol piggy-back today and stuffed a bunch with 7 gr. Bullseye, CCI 500s, and went to try them in my 6" 686.
Hand held pistol, rested wrists on bags on hood of Jeep, range 25 yds.
First group measured 1.4" center to center. This with mixed cases, no fresh trim, or any other special precautions.
Next group measured larger, but still under 2". Burned the remainder of the 50 off-hand at the gong,and when I was done the barrel was clean and shiney.
No chrono, but it should be about 1200 fps. Think I've stumbled on a good one. jd
