Took the Rossi lever action .357 to 200 yards ...

awhile ago. Hung a big 150oz detergent jug in front of a reversed B27 and let fly a couple of the 140 XTP's, over a max charge of W296. The rifle is zeroed to plant its shots in the middle a 3 pound coffee can lid at 100 yards. It shoots flatter at 200 than it has any right to. The first two shots were just off the edges...

and I hit it with the 3rd. But I just clipped the bottom edge so I don't have much of a ballistics report. But you could hear the impact from 200 yards and it shredded the plastic real good.
