[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3330312, member: 15054"] Thanks CorpsVet He said he shot it about 50 times many years ago and it has been stored inside the house in a safe ever since and forgotten about. I will take it apart or inspect it.. probably change the recoil spring in it if it does not act right for my hand loads. I got a 350 Mag that was my dads after he had died. That guy never cleaned his guns or at least this one. His cousing told me about the 357 and how it shot when they would shoot guns. Said they would buy a bunch of cheap ammo and shoot the crap out of it and one bullet would hit 2 feet to the right and another round it would be 4 feet left said it was not accurate at all. Yea I get that as the barrel was packed full of lead. You could not see the rifling grooves just chunky crud all the way to the muzzle. It is very accurate now. 158 gr SWC bullets and HP38 for under 30 yards or gas checked 170 gr. SWC and 2400 powder for long range shooting. [/QUOTE]
