🇦🇺😎👍That slug gives a good return on the video sound🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

Nice shooting. I've enjoyed your series on the Ruger 77/357. It'll interesting to hear what the rifle sounds like when compared to a 223/556 rifle for noise report.

[@RideAdventurous]

22 grains of H-110 (max load according to Hogdgon) 125 grain hornady XTP. 1/2 inch group at 100 yards with my 77/357.

[@wavelength1970]

anthony Haynes that's awesome, I just got a 77/357 and I have a bunch of that exact load already made. 2150fps out of mine, no accuracy testing yet.

[@RideAdventurous]

wavelength1970 I just loaded up 1600 rounds and have another 400 to load. I didnt want to shoot this load through any of my revolvers as it is a maximum load. I did some experiments with a Ruger Blackhawk and a screw fell out, so no revolver shooting with these loads. So I bought a D.E. in 357 (S.S.). It came with a 5 inch barrel with a compensator. I bought a 10" barrel and put my Leupold 2.5-8x on top of it. Groups about 2" at 100.

How's the cheek weld with a scope on it? The one in this video looks like it would feel awkward because the comb of the stock looks rather low. I'm looking at buying one but I don't want to regret a rifle that feels awkward when sighting through the scope.

I will say that at 100 years this rifle hit the steel plate I was shooting with a tremendous amount of force. The Ruger 77/357 is very accurate. From an accuracy standpoint I can tell you that at least my gun is capable of shouts out to 150 yards if not further. In my range report 4 of the Ruger 77/357 magnum I will attempt to show the rifles accuracy at 100 years on steel and particularly on paper.

[@TheGearTester]

I will be uploading range report 3 on the Ruger 77/357 in a day or two. The gun runs .38 special very reliably. In my table top of this rifle or range report 4 I will try to do some penetration tests on plywood at 100 years possible out to 150 years with factory .357 magnum loads. The reality is that I have no idea about the lethality of a .357 magnum round at all. I have never shot anything other than steel or paper with a .357 magnum.

Maybe it's time to educate yourself on the Paul Harrell new and improved Meat Target. That will give you some different data.

[@aschaible04]

GearTester thanks for this video! I too am a proud owner of this carbine and have also noted its fine accuracy... 2" groups with iron sights at 50yds just like you. But one thing I noticed - you are having the same problem as me. Note your very last shot in the video. The cartridge "catches" just a bit halfway into the chamber. This happens to me about 40% of the time on my gun and I am sending it back to Ruger to see if there's anything they can do about it. How often do you have this problem?

[@Mike88GT]

mine doesn't miss on 8" steel at 100 yards with a redfield scope. 158gr JSP

[@gustoarmarin]

What is the recoil of that Ruger 77/357 magnum compare to 12 gauge shot gun? Thank you.

[@TheGearTester]

The recoil is very light when compared to a 12 gauge.

[@keith9875]

How does it shoot with cast bullets?

[@deagrok]

I very much look forward to it!

[@TOBORE8THMAN]

A hot home load using IMR 4227 and a 158 grain JHP out of that rifle...I want!

[@tvman54]

What bipod did you put on it?

[@calebmelton5989]

This would be the shit with some buffalo bore or Underwood heavy 357

[@TheGearTester]

Caleb Melton I'v fired the 180 grain hard cast Buffalo Bore round out of this rifle. It's a really fast and hard hitting round.

[@tmax5150]

With some good handloads I bet this gun would be a real tack driver.

[@xrjockey86]

I hear meadowlarks and see you are out on the plains. Where are you from? Thank you for the videos. I've been wanting a .357 rifle for awhile now and these videos are helpful. Thanks!

[@BR5499a]

Missing a ten inch target at 100 yards, off a rest, with a scope?

[@gustoarmarin]

Thank you

[@jaywarrenclark6263]

What is your ammo?

[@deagrok]

Did you find that 100 yards what the Max you would use this rifle? There is a lot of debate regarding the 357 and +100 yard ranges. I feel that a 357 loaded to saami specs should be accurate/have enough power to at least 150 yards.

[@constitutionalrepublican1611]

Ive touched things much further with a revolver in .357 I have no doubt a rifle will do better with a trained individual behind it due to the added pressure. As for knockdown power idk, when I made my shot it took down a 43lb coyote that was about 350 yards and I was aimed 12 inches high on it. Was an instakill

[@constitutionalrepublican1611]

Ive weighed my wants over the years between this m77 bolt rifle and a lever action Rossi puma in .357, now its to the point I want both. The Rossi isn't current production any longer they stopped it 2 years ago. Either way I have to locate one of each to add to the "collection"

[@sportsmansparadice42]

It should reach out to 200 yards no problem.

[@GGGarrison]

Try 11.0 gr of AA7 with a 110 gr HPXTP bullet. it will get 1500 fps and shoots smooth.

[@captainpegs07]

you're yanking the trigger

looks like it needs a trigger job!

[@Peace-ju9us]

be nice to see it on paper at 100 yds

[@zeuso.1947]

Sorry, but the "accuracy" is horrible; almost completely useless for any type of hunting.

[@rarsenio1]

What scope magnification do recommend for this rifle?
