Picked up a 357 Herrett in pristine condition but have no use for it. Was helping a friend in need financially. Looking to give it a good home. Anyone know of anyone interested or best places to advertise. Also came with a 38 cal special barrell, scope, and case.

I was meaning she lived to run 300 yds with no lungs or heart. If after the autopsy she survived, I would run for my life. That's funny right there.

I've seen deer shot with a 50 cal , 300 grain bullet at 50 yds and run for approx 300 yds with no blood trail. No blood until we got to where she died. Autopsy revealed bullet went through both lungs and heart but deer still survived. They can be tough at times. Not all animals react like you...

I'm not familiar with Berger bullets because I've used them so......As other shave stated and many will tell you, speed denotes expansion rates. With that being said, with velocities being slower from a 30-30, you need a softer bullet that will expand quicker. With velocities of magnums and the...

Same here. Hardly any blood for maybe 75 yds and then nothing. Tracked, circled, backtracked, wandered, and still nothing. He didn't even flinch when hit. I had no snow at all. I was ****ed. I shot him with a 7mm WSM 140 grain BT right behind the shoulder traveling at 3250 fps. At those speeds...

I too have killed deer at those ranges but more than often I lost a lot of deer due to the BT exploding on impact with little or no penetration from WSM's traveling at 3200 fps. I love the accubond for around performance esp on the closer shots up to 200 yds. Once you get over 3,000 fps, I use...

I put this one on my phone.https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bulletdrop/id413617625?mt=8

http://www.shooterscalculator.com/ballistic-trajectory-chart.php I like this one. I put it on my phone also.

In my experience, the change of 2,100' in altitude would not make a noticeable change. I would suspect the 40 deg temp change had more of an effect. I have a 7MM WSM I was reloading and shooting for and shot sub 1/2 groups at 100 yds easily in 40 deg temps. Warmer weather came along and shot it...

I've never seen the need to shoot game at 1,000 yards. That's not what I would call hunting to me. They call that shooting. If you have to pay $4,000.00 for glass to see the animal and to make an ethical shot, why don't you get closer. when you kill the animal, you will have to hike over there...

I've never driven a vehicle with lockers front and/or rear but I would speculate that somewhere down the line something in the driveline is going to need replacing. The price you pay to play.

I believe it but was it a Rubicon or a standard Wrangler. Rubicons cost much more money but have lockers for diffs where the standard Sahara's and the like have Command Trac usually without LSD unless it was ordered as an option. They have BLD and electronic traction control which is nothing...

Those Rubicons have lockers on front and rear where you only have LSD in the rear and an open diff in the front. Plus, the wheel base helps a lot and turning radius. If I was going to go for serious off road only, i would have a Rubicon versus my Dodge Ram. I love my Dodge Ram and it does what...

So glad you are okay. As soon as I saw the pic and your description I said to myself, "Way over max load. Serious hot load! You said you were over max by a couple grains and I didn't see what temps you were shooting at. Hot barrel/chamber can cook a load and with higher than normal ambien temps...
