Nice shooting! That would be some alloy if it woulda worked. Beautiful country there.

I really like the conversion you did to the revolver. 7.5" barrels just feel right to me.

Ian I like the 7.5. It's plenty long without being too long. Also helps with the 357 blast.

Creeker,

That is a very hard rock! Wife lived in Ravenswood, WV, while I was in Viet Nam.

Rocks make good targets. I'm a plinker by nature with handguns. I've killed many a rock and pop can.
Durable rocks are a good thing, keeps you from needing more rocks!

Nice shooting, Creeker! I enjoyed that video very much.

I have a Bisley Blackhawk in 357 Mag that I enjoy immensely. It has fired a very similar load--13.0 x WC-820 with Lyman #358156 "loaded long" in the BisHawk's chambers as a first step to running "156" TO THE 1550 fps-level. Velocity ran about 1275 FPS. My particular lot of WC-820 runs a lot more like AA-9 than like H-110.

I'm not certain why Ruger's 357 and 41 Magnum BHs come with 6.5" barrels instead of the SAA "standard" of 7.5". They just do.

My lot also loads to AA9 data. I tried 11.5 grains with this bullet but the pressure was too low for a good burn. And I have nothing against the 6.5" barrel but think the 7.5" may look a little better.

A 7.5 barrel is nice at the range, the 4 5/8 is much nicer for carry.

My WC820 lot is like AA9, that is how I load it. Should have bought more.

Very much enjoyed your video Creeker. Hope you'll produce more in the not too distant future.

The girls are giving me a Go Pro for Christmas which I can wear on my cap. Sometimes its hard to hold the phone with one hand, the sixgun with the other & keep the sights & camera both on target. Anyway I'll be trying the new equipment out & hope to post some more cast boolits going to target.

I hope it is one of the higher end GoPro cameras. Mine is a basic model and it is very wide angle! No telephoto ability at all. That said, it is a neat little thing.
I see many more videos coming soon.
