We had fun with them this year during deer season. Check out my thread over on the hide that talks a little more about it.

It's not a Hoosier. He already chronographed it. He's just surprised at the flat trajectory and speed.
The 180's in 35 cal are worthless for hunting compared to the heavier pills.
225-250gr is middle of the road for 35 cals. You can shoot light weight 357 handgun bullets all the way up to a 310gr Woodleigh.
I have shot the 125gr hollow point 357 pistol bullets for fun. Their diameter is actually 0.358", not 0.357". So short I had to seat them with a rawhide mallet. But man oh man did they come screaming out of that barrel

Awesome and I have some of those. Sure cheaper for the learning curve.225-250gr is middle of the road for 35 cals. You can shoot light weight 357 handgun bullets all the way up to a 310gr Woodleigh.

Cool stuff. Gets old when everyone wants to say how stupid it is. It is what it is and glad not everyone is running around with a rifle. Those distances are very impassive! What kind of drop you seeing out at 500 yards?

I haven't put any on paper at 500 but have a 12" plate at 800 that I don't have any problem keeping them on.
How hi off the center of target you aiming? at 800 yds
Yeah, the pistol bullets are fun for short range plinking, barrel break in, and fully fire forming cases.
If you load up a 125gr hollow point pistol bullet and launch it at a gallon milk jug of water set up 100 yards or less, the explosion is pretty impressive when it hits it at over 3500 fps

Glad I got on the innerweb and read this. Guess I'll abandon my efforts with the 180TTSX out of my 358WSSM.

Unimpressed. The accuracy and speed of that load is nothing to write home about....
