The brass stretches a little but no sticky extraction, mildly flattened primers but no cratering. The 158s and 180s hit deer, rabbit, woodchucks and yotes like a bolt of lightening. They will ...

Re: Deer Hunting with Rossi 357 Magnum Factory loads ??
The problem I ran into with the federal 158s is that they are weak loaded. Whatever powder they used did not have enough "oomph" to keep the velocity increasing in a rifle barrel. I barely got a 250 fps increase in a 16" barrel and saw a decrease in a 20". My handloads will incre...
