I took the 357 Bisley Acusport out today for some long range fun.

I started out with some mild load 357's at around 50 yards and an 8" stump. That was almost too easy. I used up all the mild loads and went to the hotter 158 jhp's.
I put a few in the stump then aimed out to 80 + yards and a small rock. I was able to bounce it a few times and then for fun I even shot a pine cone.



I need to start loading for the 41 mag and do the same practice!

Yes, you do need to get your .41 loads together. .357 just isn't enough gun to humanely take a pine cone at 80 yards. I think the other members will agree with me.

;-)

My range time w/ 16gr Lil'Gun .357 loads was rained out today.
Happy Shooting!

Bah - I get envious reading everyone having fun shooting intersting things. Here in Jersey they call the SWAT if they see you walking with a dismantled muzzleloader (it really happened over here, a .50 barrel in a backpack of a university student. Tackled by a student, after he called the SWAT. politicians orating about supremely powerful bullets that would tear through police vests, etc. As if a CVA .50 is the same as a .50 BMG).

Oh well, I'm off to the range tomorrow to shoot at some paper targets.

The poor, poor pine cone. I always use at least a .44 on 'em.

You certainly don't want to have to track the sap trail of a wounded pine cone. Worse yet, you don't want to be attacked by a wounded one.

It gets really bad when a whole herd of them pine cones get together and go after ya! It takes a brace of six guns to fend 'em off then!
