thanks for the reply. I just received my Cast Core 180 grains today and went on down to the range. Nice groups at 25 yards. Im happy with em. I need to adjust the scope just a little more but Ill wait until I can get up north to the BIG range and shoot some 50 yard groups. Ill holster the .357 for close range and have the rifle along for everything else.

This year, my wife is hunting with me for her first time. I bought her a Remington CDL .243 Ill be hunting in a pop up blind with her beside me and Im sure Ill give her first shot of anything that comes through. I hope she gets one!
