Load one to the left featured W/W brass, CCI-550 primers, Mt. Baldy 230gr WLNGC bullet sized .358", 11.5grs of 296. OAL is 1.590". I applied a heavy crimp with the Lee FCD. I used a .353" expander from Buffalo Arms. Velocity ran from 1322 fps- 1302 fps. Very consistent. Targets were shot at 50yrds from the bench. Conditions were horrible. Very windy. In fact so windy the target was pushed several times by the wind. My eyes were consistently watering from the wind blowing directly in them. While this bullet is quite accurate and ballistic consistency is great, I feel this bullet is not optimum for the factory B92. It would probably be the bee's knees in a B92 modified to handle rounds longer than SAAMI spec.
Load two was assembled with similar components and technique except I used a Cast Perf. 200gr WLNGC bullet propelled by 14grs of 296. This load was not sufficiently compressed for optimum results. I could have fit at least one more grain of powder in the case. I will try this in the future. Velocity ran from 1557 fps- 1536 fps. Again very consistent. This is the bullet I would chose for a high performance cast load in the unmodified B92 .357.
Load three is my plinker/loafing load. I used W/W brass, Rem. 5 1/2 primers, .358" expander from Buffalo Arms, Speer 158gr semi wadcutter sized .358", and 4grs Trail Boss. Light crimp applied with the Lee FCD. Again OAL was 1.590". Velocity ran from 953 fps- 921 fps. Very consistent. This is a superior light load.
Sorry for the less than adequate pics, the conditions were less than optimum. I used the chrony without the sky screens. Too windy to use them. Group one, to the left, shows the Mt. Baldy 230gr bullet. Group two, in the middle, shows the Cast Perf. 200gr bullet. Group three, to the right, shows the first round striking high. This group was shot with the Speer 158gr bullet. It was coated with some moly? type of substance. This no doubt caused the first round to strike high. No sight adjustment was made from group to group. They all shot pretty much to point of aim. This trait makes this gun even more handy. I did change the factory rear sight to a Marbles full buck carbine style sight .350"-.550". The factory sight was totally useless being much too short. The last pic. illustrates the length of the various projectiles in relation to the case.
AS USUAL, THE ABOVE LOADS ARE JUDGED TO BE SAFE IN MY RIFLE AND MY RIFLE ONLY. DO NOT USE THEM IN YOUR RIFLE. Regards, 1886.
Great report!
