He'll have some very good quality gas checked cast lead projectiles that will be perfect for your rifle and perfect for the game animals you mentioned.





I have the Rossi 92 16" stainless steel in 44 mag and out to 100m or so it's devastating.

I have also been running Shooternz's cast gas checked 70gr lead projectiles in my Winchester 92 in 25-20wcf.
7grs of W296 gets these projectiles humming along at about 1700fps.

I've shot numerous goats with this load and it works real good.

Systolic is also correct the Belmont magnum pistol powder is just repackaged W296, which is also Hodgen H110, but much cheaper and easier to find, in my neck of the woods at least.

Thanks for the Promo Pete, but I non't have any 358" gas check moulds only plain base a 135 HP 166 TC and Elmer Keith's 170 SWC they can be pushed to 1400fps
the Keith at 1400fps will easily take down a deer it's still one of the top cast bullets for hunting with a .357 mag pistol the US, Google Lyman358429 plenty of load data
for it, I was shooting Handgun Metallic Silhouette yesterday with it in my .38 Special no problem hitting the pigs at 50 metres with it, thats as far as I can see to shoot
with iron sights.
