Dial it Down! | 150 Meter Zero on the Contender .357 Maximum Barrel

Refining the 150 meter scope zero on one of my .357 Maximum Silhouette setups.

This 12″ Thompson/Center .357 Magnum Contender barrel was re-chambered for .357 Maximum by Bellm T/C’s. So far, I have stayed with the load data that was used by the previous owner (an experienced IHMSA shooter) and I have not explored other options.

I have played around with a different factory T/C 10″ .357 Maximum barrel and have had good results with various cast bullets. I may experiment with lighter configurations for the 50 and 100 meter targets.
