Shot some of my reloads at the range - The Firearms Forum

Deacon_Man · 06-20-2012, 02:58 PM

Went to the range this morning, got there at 11:45am just in time for half price until noon. I took my new m92 Taurus made Rossi .45 long colt. 24" barrel lever action. That thing shoots much better than this old man can aim. I took 50 rounds loaded with 6.0 grains of red dot and 50 rounds loaded with 5.7 grains of bulls eye power. I could not tell the difference between the rounds. The new riffle does not kick at all, no more than shooting my long colt pistol. Of course the new riffle is very heavy with the octagon barrel, I think that's why it does'nt kick. Below I'll try to attach a couple pictures of the targets I shot at 75ft. at the indoor range in Weatherford, Texas.

I told you it wouldn't kick......
.45colt is a sweet shooter.....even in a 3" or 3.75" revolver.
Not .45's but .357's ......two of my favorites are my
Marlin 'Trapper' and my Rossi
