First trip out

Shot it at 25, at 15, and at 60 yards, three different bullets, 6 different loads (didn't realize I had so much 357 Mag ammo stashed away). Shot from a Bog Pod, at 25 yards it was impacting 2 1/2" to the right, shot it offhand, shot in the black except for one shot that I pulled (trigger has a little creep). Shot 5 for 5 in an 8" square at 60 yards shooting offhand. For the record, I never shoot this good with my larger caliber guns offhand, I don't think I practice enough. It seems to like the 358 156 just a little better than the Miha 359 640 bullet, but either one will be dandy for dispatching jackrabbits. At 25 yards, between all of the different bullet/powder/primer differences, the point of impact shifted about 6-7", this is one gun I am hoping to find just a couple of loads it really likes and stick with them, I will say it seems to like the heat, did much better with the true Magnum loads. New grips will be a necessity.
