Did this one last Friday.

As a point of comparison, a very hot loaded 180 grain bullet out of a seven and a half inch barrel .357 Magnum revolver has a muzzle velocity of around 1200 fps. The lightest load listed below is still moving along at about 1200 fps at 150 yards.

(So, anyone who thinks a .357 Mag revolver with 180 grain bullets is suitable for deer at ten feet should be comfortable with this load at 150 yards.)



Here are the targets.





Now don't get excited about that last group. Although it's the best I've ever gotten with 180 grain GDs at 50 yards, it's not typical. It does show that with 3-shot groups, every now and then you get something spectacular. However, the 95 grain load has always proved to be the most accurate with this bullet/sabot/powder combination and normally gives me one-inch groups at 50 yards.
