460 Rowland Range Test

Got both the Sig 365 and the .460 Rowland out to the range for the first time today. What a blast! The .460 Doesn't recoil near as bad as .44 Magnum revolver, but still noticeably more than .45. (Check previous post for pics).

Don't pay attention to the groups on the video, just testing rapid fire capability before I had it sighted in while I had someone to shoot the video. The other group on the static pic is 10 rounds to head and 10 rounds to chest at 10 yards. Very out of practice and pulled a few, (that one really bad low left, lol) but almost have it sighted in now. These are 185 Gr. at 1575 fps for 1,019 FPE Muzzle energy!

While I was able to swap in a mag of cheap .45 Winchester's and shoot, it would not cycle the action enough to feed a round with the lower power loads and had to hand cycle each one. Maybe with some hotter loads or lighter spring I can find a safe compromise capable of interchanging both.

Bottom line: I LOVE it!
Milk jug test coming soon:)
