Had fun with the old flat top .357 Ruger today
I am carrying it with the 125 gr. Speer Gold Dot bullet over 18.5 gr. of H110. Nice load .. recoil is not heavy. I wanted to set the sights about 3/4" to 1" high at 25 yards. Fiddled around with it for a bit and got it close. I put black tape on the target to give my old eyes a good point of aim. I held level with the bottom edge of the tape.

I was resting the barrel for that target. After I got the sights close I spent some time shooting standing up, two-hand hold. I like the old gun.
