357 magnum

[longrange2]

I?ve got a Marlin CBSL in .357 and a Ruger bolt action. When Walmart was selling ammo my favorite was the 100 round packs of Remington 125 JHPs. Out of the Ruger they were going a little over 2100 FPS and would shoot into less than 1 1/2 inches at 100 yards. Is a great caliber, just picked up a new Colt Python today at Cabelas, and it was at MSRP, not the $2000 they are going for on Gunbroker. I was surprised to find it in the case and couldn?t resist.

I was very close to buying a “match champion “ Gp100 a few years ago but never did.
I have a .357 Blackhawk , and can’t remember the last time I shot it. I grew up with blackhawks and marlin levers with hot hand loads. My buddy had a 8in Colt King Cobra that was amazing to shoot.

What is your opinion of the quality of the new ones vs the original?

[longrange2]

I’ll let you know once I get it to the range. I had a beautiful 4 inch original Python but they have become so collectible I couldn’t bring myself to shoot it much and sold it. I’m hoping this will be a good shooter that I won’t mind shooting a bunch. Fit and finish appear very good, but not as polished as the original stainless Pythons.

have a few suppressed 357 lever guns and 1/2 doz wheel guns, too. Or was it 8 wheel guns ?

If you haven?t tried the 357 out of a carbine you should.

What are you trying to do? Send beast556 to the poor house?

Its amazing how many rounds you go through on a day at the range with a lever gun.

Yeah. Saw you buy that one today. No hesitation on your part.

I knew if I walked away from that one it would be gone when I came back to get it.

I really want a lever action 357 but I want to get a 4in gp100 first. You never know if I see a good deal on a lever gun it might come home first. My wife has a old colt python that her dad gave to her, it doesn't get shot often and I would never run full tilt loads through it. Any one know a local gunsmith that is competent to do a trigger/action job on a s&w wheel gun?

Longrange that python looks super nice, definitely let us know how it shoots.

The very first gun I bought was a Smith and Wesson 686. Still have it and will never part with it.

Shot IPSC with it for several years when I first started. It's such a nice gun, I'm a closet revolver shooter. Enjoy them much more than semiautos, but I shoot semiautos far more.
