Nice one mate, was honestly only just thinking about a Coonan picture thread when I saw your post in the handgun shooters thread

[Martymonster]

[Morgo]

That last one is a nice shot mate, just needs the exposure up a little

[Martymonster]

Awesome muzzle blast

Very nice piece mate I'll definitely have to get myself a shoot of one at some point.... Lets just say to try an convince myself to order one

[Martymonster]

Apart from this one
"versatility" . 125gr XTPs doing nearly 1800 Fps, 158s doing 1650 Fps and 180s booming at 1400 Fps.
Not in shot but lead loads loaded from 125s to 160gr doing anywhere between 800fps to 1450fps!
Can't beat it!!!L

What loads are you using mate?

[Morgo]

Are you using magnum primers with the 2205?

[Martymonster]

Yes but no,

I use small rifle on all 357s

[Morgo]

Do you get much unburt powder with the 2205 and small rifle primers? That was the main reason I swapped to 2400 though I never did try and loads with small rifle primers.

Morgo, what load do you suggest for the Ruger 77/357 with 16" barrel ???

Thanks...

[Morgo]

I've never reloaded for a .357 magnum rifle but I'd imagine it could handle any loads you run through the Coonan, especially being that its a Ruger

[Harry]

I have a marlin lever that gets all my desert eagle rejects and it loves the load. All loads seem minor in a rifle in your shoulder compared to a pistol in your hand...

Cheers

Morgs I don't seem to get any in burnt powder at all. Ap70 light lights are a bit sooty, but reduces as u get hotter.
2205 cases are cleaner inside than ap70 but similar dark rim on out side.

My ap70 8-8.5-9 gr loads feel nice out of Rossi lever. The 20.5g 125xtps give a surprising kick out of lever
