Fun day at the range with the .357 Super Mag and a New 8" Barrel. I had been on a waiting list for more than 16 months at a local reloading/Gun Store for some AA 1680 powder and it finally came in. So here is what I loaded and here are the results. Using Hornady 180 Grain XTP bullets. and CCI Small Rifle Primers.

“We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more
humane, while his education has been sadly neglected.”

-Henry David Thoreau

“When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether
they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes – remembering that it was
one of the best parts of my education – *make* them hunters.”

-Henry David Thoreau
