Revolver 40

Post by i26963 »

I’ve shot more than a few 40’s, 60’, and a couple of 79x80 with my FA 357.
Today I shot my first Revolver 40 using my own cast bullets. Its a good feeling!😊
RCBS 358-200FN bullet and Viht Vouri N-110powder.

Congratulation Melvin. Awesome job. There is a certain degree of pride in shooting a Revolver 40, but even more so with your own cast bullets. Well done.

Great shooting Melvin. That is not easy to do! N-110 is the best powder for a Revolver. Excellent choice.
