So I started the new year shooting the V40 with 19 grains of 4227 and 180 grain Lead Cast Penn Bullets Star-Line Brass and Federal Small Rifle Primers and a heavy crimp. around 1440 fps. Chrono data will be placed in the reloaders section. I was shooting open sights at 25 yards off a rest and with my bifocal wearing eyes I was happy with the accuracy. MIght have to attach a scope one of these days.

I am shooting my 40VS-8 for the first time today. 180gr Hornady XTP loaded supposedly to 1800fps by Reeds in Starline brass. I hope I shoot as well as you did. What style rear sight is on your Supermag ? white outline ?

Do you have a chrono? 1800 fps?? Sounds like velocities more likely from a rifle? The Jamison 357 MAX is reported at 1,825 fps and I did NOT get that out of my 8" DW. As far as a rear sight- no it is just black from the factory. I would really like to upgrade with the Millet style rear sight and I will certainly be purchasing another of the EWK Green front Fiber Optic sights for the 357 Super Mag. I have a nice Millet sight on the rear of a Model 15-2 and have the front Fiber Optic. I like that set up. Enjoy your time at the range!

Thanks fellows. We all know how much fun shooting these fine DWs can be. I have been, for several years now, looking forward to hunting PA WhiteTail with a double action revolver and while I am confident with my 357 Super Mag and my 741, and have what I feel would be great hunting loads using a Swift A-Frame bullet, I still have not had the opportunity to take out one of these guns during the firearms season. I hope this changes in 2017.
