357 can go from mild to wild.
I can load it with minimal prep/resize Due to the straight wall rimmed case. |

Pics: Sure, I doubt you'd want them though. 
List of reasons: - Lightweight/Handy little short range range rig. - Low Recoil (nonexistent with .38 special loadings) - Straight wall pistol cartridge, so easy on brass, and less drama than rifle reloading. - Great suppressor host Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'm thinking about writing a story about the 77/357 for TFB. First, does anyone mind if I use their pics? Second, can you list the reasons that you love your 77/357? Is there anything you'd like to see included? Pics: Sure, I doubt you'd want them though.

Soon....soon... Originally I used the Gemtech multi mount but it's not rated for 357 mag And it does not cover all the inner mount threads so they Get all carboned up. Once that hsppens, it's hard to screw in the the fixed Barrel mount without scraping and cleaning. Big PITA. I finally broke down and bought the Liberty 3 lug. It's MUCH heavier and is rated for all the calibers the Mystic is. The 3 lug adapter is a TROS. Don't cheap out on the 3 lug (barrel side). The cheap ones SUCK. |

Thanks Once you get everything setup, use either rocksett or the red loktite on super clean Degreased Threads to attach the 3 lug on the barrel. It really sucks to have it unscrew at the range. The heat will break down the blue loktite real fast. No wrench flats on most of the 3 lug screw on adapters so use the mount to tighten it, then let it setup before removing. |

I'll be going with Rocksett since I've had bad interactions with red locktite lol. Still gotta get the rifle, file form 1 for that, etc so it'll be quite a while yet.

I have not tried hkparts.com but as I understand, the owner is In very hot water with the feds, so returns may be iffy. I think Brownells normally has TROS in stock. |

Question guys:
I know a couple of you have chronographed loads so I was wondering what data you were getting with factory ammo. Ballistics by the Inch shows a 16" barrel as getting the most velocity out of a .357 load, but that's a bit longer than I wanted to go. Mostly I'm wondering what real world stuff you've all noticed. It'll mostly be a paper killer, but also a deer gun if I ever get moved south. |

Btw, in case anyone didn't know, the VQ extended 77/22 mag release fits (per youtube)
So after I get back from Seattle, my master plan is to buy: 5x magazines (just in case) VQ Sear and mag release Skinner rear peep sight SP101 Wiley Clapp if I can afford it Skinner says it'll fit the dovetail, and it fits under scopes, so why not.

It's worth mentioning that I saw very small (30 ish fps) loss Of velocity with the 200+gr loads after going from 18" to 10". 18" bbl 158gr xtp, 16.5gr H110, 1705fps 10" bbl, 1627fps 18" bbl 125gr XTP, 21.0Gr H110, 2170fps 10" bbl, 1912 fps |

It's kind of like putting a 3" pipe exhaust on a Honda. That said, I have used my 45 can on my 77/357 and it was easily Hearing safe with 38spl bunny farts. 357 mag supers were loud at the shooters ear. The 9mm can was much better for keeping the crack downrange. Btw, based on your username, you already have bullets on hand for the 77/357? |

As quiet as what? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Won't be as quiet (but probably a minimal difference IMO) but wouldn't have any pressure issues. As quiet as what? As a 9mm can. Hybrid is probably overkill for the 77/357 IMO. |

It's been one of those days.
Anyhow, it probably won't be as quiet as a 9mm can because of more gas passing through the baffles, but it would get restricted by the end cap. So I can't imagine it would be a huge noise difference. Out of curiosity, I wonder if anyone has tested that with a db meter. Personally I'm looking at multi caliber cans myself, but am strongly leaning towards the Mystic-X since odds are I'm not going to have anything in larger than a .357 bullet for a while, but it'll take 9mm, 223, etc. |

That's my thought. It'll pretty much live on the 77/357 after I get it SBR'd. Then when I can afford a Ron Williams .357 mag 10.5" AR upper it'll swap between them. I have a strange love of .357
Will probably go with an 11" bbl so the end of the trilug is even with the end of the stock. No worries about damaging the wood that way. That or I'll just open the inlet a touch more and embed a sacrificial thin section of steel to protect the wood. Donno yet. Figure I have a good while to think about it before I'll have the money anyhow. |
