I took it out today. Got it sighted in on paper and then rang some plates. Very accurate pistol.

I ended up trying a few of the handloads that came with the revolver. Most were pleasant plinking loads but I came across one box that would have stopped a rushing elephant. Now I've gotta sit down with the kinetic hammer and pull 99 of those :lol:

All in all I'm very happy with my purchase :D

*groan*

Enjoy that. I had to do the same when I replaced my .308 with a 7mm-08.

Pulled 150 rounds or something and necked down 300 in one sitting. Super exciting time...

Or someone throws in the hand loads they were "working up but haven't tested" with the rifle.

Shoot mystery ammo at your own peril.
