I had a lot of success hunting this past week using my GP-100 357 Magnum Franken-Ruger.
This revolver is stupid accurate.
I used Hornady Factory 158 grain XTP Hollowpoint.
MV was 1471 fps.
Even set up Thursday night to look for elk, but they didn't show.
Had a great time!

Monday early afternoon
189 yards sitting position with Bog-Gear


Last light Monday evening.
40-50 yards standing with the buck facing me.


Thursday morning
85 yards quartering shot, standing using Bog-Gear as a monopod...hurried shot


Thursday morning
99 yards double kneeling using Bog-Gear
 
Thanks guys!
On the two does I was intentionally trying to stay away from the shoulder even though they were both quartering shots. Just to see how the bullet performed without hitting any bone.
 
Going to be doing some load development with the 158 Swift on Thursday, then loading up some 158 Nosler's for pd'ing as well.
Looks quite a bit different that it did with a 15" barrel and the shorty brake. Getting ready for big game season already.
Plan to do more killing with it, than even last year.
Big game and prairie dogs. PD shooting is mainly for practice off of Bog-Gear and other field rests.
