I didn't hear or see any numbers in that vid.






Why don't you just acknowledge that the video link you posted presumably


to show little muzzle flip of a .357 Magnum (with a 3-inch barrel) when


using a "proper grip" .... doesn't.




Several experienced (and some less experienced) have questioned what


type of rounds he was shooting ... the guy in the video calls them


"modest" rounds and, most importantly, *you* don't know what he was


shooting either.




It's ok to be wrong sometimes.








All we have is unquantified guesses, no hard date. Zip, zilch. It's


certainly okay to question what sorts of rounds he was shooting, but


there are no answers.




I will base it on the cast bullets alone. You can NOT push a cast

bullet to ".357" velocities and maintain any sibilance of accuracy

PERIOD.


And he's probably (yeah I'm speculating!) using something like an HP/38 powder, which is mild compared to 110. That is if he's using the full recommended grain.
