Most accurate bullet in the 92??

What are you guys finding to be the most accurate bullet in your 92s with the 30 twist.
Cast or jacketed bullets?. And at what muzzle velocity are you running. I'm still trying to get a good load for deer hunting. No doubt it will be close range. Thanks for your advice or suggestions.. Johnny p

Re: Bullet alloy for cast bullets

I appreciate your replies. It all makes sense now. I am working with the 358429 bullets. They have to be seated a little deeper in order to function in the action. I wonder how much this will effect the pressure in the 357 cases. Of course I don't plan on pushing the max velocity. Any comments on th...

Re: 38/44 loads in the rossi 92

I've tried a few loads in my Rossi 92.
The 38-44 with 170 gr 358429 cast bullets.
12 gr of 2400. About 1500 fps. Accuracy at 50 yards is close to 3 inches.
I think this will be a great deer load at 50 to maybe 70 yards. Any thoughts on this??

Desperato bullets

Question for those who have used these bullets.
I want to to try these in my 38/357.
Revolver and Rossi 92. How fast can you push these with smokeless powder.
Could they be used for close range deer hunting.
Like up to 50 yards? Thank you,johnnyl

Re: 38/44 loads in the rossi 92

I just enjoy the 38/44 so much. It's a real pleasure to shoot out of my s&w 686. Accurate at 50 yards the farthest I have tried. I appreciate your reply. I will be loading up a few 358156 and 358429.. johnny. If it warms up some.

38/44 loads in the rossi 92

Is the rossi 92 Action strong enough
for 38/44 loads. They are a little lower
Than 357 loads. I want to use it for deer
hunting. Thanks..

Re: Another Look At 357Mag For Deer Hunting

I'm wondering if 158 gr cast bullets are good for deer or is the Hornady 158 gr xtp a better choice. From my rossi 92. With the slow twist. Any advice on this? Thanks

Re: 38+P in a Rossi '92

Them 38+p will kill a deer easily at 50 yards. Use a good bullet and practice a lot to put that bullet in the boiler room... Pay no attention to what others say. They never did it.. so you be the first...

Re: 158 gr in the Rossi with 30 twist barrel

Today tried some 160 swc with gas checks. I call them 160 as that what they weigh with my soft alloy. 158s. I'm only trying for 50 yards which is going to be my set limit with this 92 Rossi. Anyway I got some pretty decent groups I think. Only 3 shot groups. Using 4227 imr. Had 1 inch up to 3 inch. ...

158 gr in the Rossi with 30 twist barrel

Just wonder what cast bullets you are using in your mod 92s and what accuracy your getting. I'm using a 158 lee soft cast with gas checks with only fair grouping at 50 yards which is about my limit for hunting. I have a green dot scope on it. I'm sizing my bullets at .360 . I have heard you have to ...
