Rossi in .357 review.
« on: January 02, 2005, 10:58:23 AM »
Hello,
This is my second post. My first post dealt with my using a 125 grn sjhp on top of 21 grns of H110. Yes I agree with Greybeard that this is a little hot. I have had some cases stick in the chamber. I will lower the load. But on the other hand many pistol shooters encounter the same thing with some loads for their .357 magnum pistols and .44 mags too. Again this depends on the amount of powder used and the condition of the pistol. So is this a problem related to the Rossi single shot.........NO.

Accuracy is very good I was able to hit coke cans out to 100 yds.
Shooting .38 special rounds in the rifle is a real hoot! :wink:  It sounds like you are shooting .22 lr's in a rifle. :P I am very happy with the rifle and the workmanship.

The recoil pad makes it feel like you have a pillow between you and endbutt of the stock. The safety is an added bonus for walking through the woods.

My rifle has a scope on it. I use it for alot of shooting I have put well over 200rnds of my reloads through it without one problem :grin: . It ejects every time :wink: . It loves jacketed bullets. It loves lead bullets even MORE :shock: ! I like these rifles.

If I had another chance to get one I would do it.

Since you reload anyway when you may want to shoot 38's loads using 357 brass.  Then you won't have to clean 38 crud ring before shooting 357's.  I quit using 38 brass after I got some high pressure sighs on some low pressure 357 rounds.  Thought I screwed up reloading until I remembered I shot 38 rounds in the gun.  A little cleaning and no pressure problem.  Just glad I wasn't firing high pressure rounds.
