Performance of .357 Magnum JHP when fired from a lever action gun

[Sherman A. House DDS]

Nobody asked me...BUT

I have a Rossi Puma in .357. Winchester 92 copy. I used it at PEP4 in a Chuck Haggard class, where we shot gelatin.

Shooting it side by side to an AKM, with 125 grain SJHP’s, the results in the gelatin were clinically identical. I’ve had similar results against mild steel targets.

With 148 grain WC’s, it is VERY quiet. It’s an oddball though.

Also, the Chiappa Alaskan in .44 mag is nice. I want one.

Out of my LSI/PUMA M92 .38/.357, 20" Octagon barrel, the Hornady Leverevolution 140gr. FTX works very well.
