Rossi 92 .357 carbine

Gave her some more exercise yesterday and confirmed 6.5 grains is the way to go. I really like this gun, may get a carbine to go with it.

Well, I'm down to my last 30 rounds of the late great IMR 4756. I wonder what a good load would be for Accurate #5 with the Lee 125 grain lead boolit?

Looks like 6.8 grains Accurate no. 5 with the Lee 358-125-RF is a winner. This is about a 2" group at 65 yards, best I can do with sights on any rifle.

Took advantage of the day off to try some stronger loads in the Rossi with Accurate #5 and the Lee 125 at 62 yards. The loads were 7 through 8.2 grains of powder. The 7 and 7.2 grains in the upper left were fired with the sun in my eyes so I had to adjust my position. That 7.8 grains is really tight, I think I'll switch to that in both .357's as long as it shoots good in the Marlin.
