Re: [BULLSEYESHOOTERS] Re:New file uploaded to BULLSEYESHOOTERS

Hi Doug;
The terms "action pistol" and "target shooting" are not necessarily in the same
vane. At a distance of 25 yds, almost anything will shoot under 3" for ten
shots. If this accuracy meets your needs then the .357 Sig is fine; but I think
it's not so much the cartridge as what pistol/revolver is the round being fired
from. Also, are you willing to shoot only jacketed ammo or do you reload with
lead bullets; or are you buying only factory ammo? Just some thoughts. Roddy

I'm thinking of getting back into target shooting. DLE
