I ordered some wadcutters for the M357.

Well, this morning I shot the Airforce EscapeSS .20 for the first time to get an idea of what it could do, and I was impressed but I am sure the wind could mess things up in a hurry past 30 yards. It was almost completely turned down all the way, but I left it in the mid 900s to help with the...

It sure would be nice to know what would shoot well in our guns before we spend the money. I would pay for that information just to save time and money on all the stuff that shoots like crap in my guns. That is one of the nice things about the Ham reviews, though I wish they would push the range...

I have a slug capable .22 but the diameter of those slugs is way too small for it. I need .221, so pretty much have to go with AVS. I would like to try out the Halos in the TJ .30 barrel though.

Very nice. You can defiantly work with that.

Well, the scope is on and it's reedy to rock. The glass seems nice and clear so I guess the 12x might be okey using splatter burst targets. If not, I'll get a lot of exercise. It is defiantly okey for varmints. I am anxious to see what this can do especially with the slugs, but it will have to...

I just cleaned and installed the .20 barrel into my Airforce EscapeSS. It was a little bit more challenging doing an SS because of the barrel being recessed about 6 inches into the shroud but with the help of a wooden dowel I got it in okey. That was one of my concerns also I was a little...

Well on a brighter note. My Airforce 12-inch .20 barrel just came for the EscapeSS that I was not expecting until the middle of next month, so that was a nice surprise. I have some mixed feelings on this one. The ammo is cheap compared to what I normally shoot. The groove and twist rate are...

My .20 pellets and slugs arrived today. Wow they are so small if I didn't know better, I would think they were .177. After shooting the .35 125gr slugs these are incredibly tiny. Guess I will need a magnifying glass, so I don't load them in backwards. 🤪

I would say the Element Max .457 was the most powerful. I did not have a chronograph back then so I would guess about 350FPE not really sure. No, never had any pass throughs, only about 2 inches of ware in the middle. I have been using this for years but mostly with .25s. Pressure treated lumber...

I have been shooting my big bores more often lately and after years of wear and chipping the center of my backstop was almost halfway worn through. I decided to add another layer of 4x4s were it gets the most wear. The totes in the picture are full of dirt but have really not been needed just...

Well, I always liked shooting my Sheridan .20, so I bought a 12-inch .20 barrel for my Airforce EscapeSS and some JSB Exact .20 13.73gr pellets, some NSA .20 14.9gr slugs, and some NSA .20 18.9 grain slugs. These should shoot in the mid 900+fps range from this gun as I was shooting around 890fps...

I shot slugs in the Bulldog M357 this morning for the first time so kept it at 30 yards. Still at the factory settings. As expected, the NSA 110gr HPs did well. The Desperado 125gr solid 10 BHN Cowboy Action slugs did well also as long as they were going at least 900fps, so I would get 2 good...

Received the NSA 110gr HP .357 for the M357. So, hoping to get a chance to shoot them and the 125gr solid slugs Friday.

That's because they are Desperado 125gr bullets. :ROFLMAO: I may try some of their other weights as well and after I find what the gun likes I will get a Lee mold and start casting my own. It is good to have one part tin for the lead to fill out the mold well, so any that don't shoot well will...
