Thread: I love my Rossi .357 levergun, but I don't shoot well with it.

Mine is all over the place at 200m, I shot it standing at that range just to see where it went, dusty backstop meant I could see where they were landing. Answer was all over the show, like over a meter wide. Flat point jacketed soft points. At that distance, the front sight was also a meter wide, so that's kinda to be expected. However, at 100m standing, they were going more or less exactly where I wanted them to, shooting clods of dirt etc. Anything over 80-100m is not ideal just for the cartridge anyway. Your 50 yard max is probably bang on. Then again, a lone goat at 200m is safe, but a small mob of 5-10 at 20m is just about a sure thing?

Thanks Tasbay. I've only ever tried 158 grain. Maybe I should try some lighter jacketed before making any decisions about selling the rifle. Incidentally, I have been impressed to read about your achievements with your suppressed .44. I've been wondering about the Berry's bullets and you seem to have had success with them.

Yep still shoot the Berry`s 240gr out of the 44 subsonic don`t see a lot of reason to change.
