Thread: I love my Rossi .357 levergun, but I don't shoot well with it.

Try 125 grain jacketed bullets sitting on 21gr Winchester 296 powder. I have hunted for years with that load in a Rossi 92 but I try to keep the shots at 100yds or shorter. Knocked over a big bore at about 150yds with it one day, with hold over. Bullet went in by the kidney and stopped under the skin of opposite shoulder, didn`t think I had a show of pulling that one off but it was my turn to shoot.
My Rossi never liked cast bullets and I never shot anything larger than 125 grain weight jacketed.

Coote : did your father or grandfather convert 303 Enfield's to 7.62x39? If so I remember reading a article by him in I think an early NZ guns and hunting magazine.
