Update on the Hornady 140g Cowboy bullets!
« on: October 25, 2005, 04:15:49 PM »
I found a great load with this bullet in my 357 Blackhawk!

With 5.7g of Unique, and CCI-550 primers, loaded in Starline cases, this bullet shoots extremely good. It'll tear a pop can up at 40-50 yards off the sand bags, and after nearly 100 rounds through it, still not a single hint of leading!

I think I might have finally found my "perfect" short range varmint load. I'm fairly certain it'll thump a coon or fox sized critter very nicely, but it shouldn't be too awful hard on hides. I'll be finding out here in a few weeks...
