I went to the range yesterday to do some testing with some reloads I had for my Ruger GP-100 3'BBL that I had made the day before. I was trying to test for accuracy but I can't seem to get this under control.
I understand that a .357 Magnum is a powerful round and has quite a kick behind it So, I tried a few different powders in it to see if I can help the recoil issue.
Thinking maybe a powder like BullsEye, Herco or Power Pistol may have been a little easier on the recoil when I used them proved not to be the case. Each time I tested the next load, They all had one thing in common.
They were all out of the rings towards the top. Looking at the diagnostic chart is says Im breaking my wrist upwards and can only think that it is because of the recoil.
The charge for those three powders I listed were all starting loads out of the Lee Manual Second Edition.
So my question is, How do I resolve this issue? Do I just need more practice or am I not gripping hard enough? Any help would be appreciated on this. :banghead:
