Chrono (pt 2)

Fired some 357 loads from 3 or 4 years back with 150 gr. Sierra JHC loaded atop 2400: avg. 1806 fps. Fired in new R92 16 inch. Have no more of this bullet. Might be good coyote meds.
Also fired a couple with Speer 170 gr. FP and 2400: 1671 fps. avg. Not shot any for accuracy yet and want to try the Speer with some H110 I just got. I'm pleased with the velocities as it stands and both loads appear to be completely safe in this gun. Next will be a Hornady 158 XTP/FP just acquired. Will do some accuracy stuff after cast is removed from left hand in a coupla weeks.
Never had more fun than with this little carbine, I will say. Wish I'd done this sooner.
