357 Mag Breaks Plate

- After shooting the Rossi R92 in 454 Casull I also wanted to shoot my R92 in 357 Magnum. I didn't realize that the hard hitting 45 calibure rounds from the 454 Casull damaged the AR500 steel plate allowing for the final round of 357 Magnum to finish the job.
The 454 Casull hits harder than the 357 -- a mild understatement 🤣🤣🤣
LOL, Just a bit.
lol VERY understated!!
I can also load my 16" Heritage 92 .357 with 9+1 rounds, even though they are advertised as 8-round magazines. I did not shorten the magazine spring nor make any modifications to my rifle whatsoever. It shoots dead-on at 100 yards with the factory dovetail sight elevated 1 notch only; and sighting with my poor RH eyesight. I have shot 50 rounds with no failures of any sort, and have no complaints so far! It is a great companion to my Heritage .357 revolver. Cheers!
I hunt with my Rossi 92 SS .454 Casull and reload the Hornady 300 grain XTP Mag bullets along with my own 300 grain (291 actual) hard cast gas check bullets. I have taken 2 cow elk, several deer and lost count of hogs with it. I did install a 2-7x32mm Scout Scope on it. But she is a great hunting weapon.
That's awesome Ray! I was wondering if the hard cast bullets would be something to use in hunting in order to get the penetration. The last hog I got I used the 45-70 and shot it in the head. I lost a shoulder on the far side because the bullet went all the way through. Right now all I have for the 454 Casull are hollow points and I am just a little leery about using these to hunt with. I like that scout scope you have too. Sounds like a great optic being so far forward of the receiver.
@ I do not know what hollow points you have, but the .454 Casull with Hornady XTP Mag bullets hold up well at at the 1878 FPS I am getting from a 20” barrel. I am driving my hard cast bullets to 1824 FPS and it was an in and out on a mature cow elk at 138 yards. 100-210 pound hogs are pass throughs also at 80-165 yards. The XTP Mags performed excellent on mule deer and white tail both along with hogs. Good luck hunting.
@@raytribble8075 Thanks. What i shot in the 454 Casull video were Barnes bullets, but I have a box of the Hornady. Someone suggested before drifting the sight due to the Barnes shoot left was to try a different brand. So that is what I need to do anyway.
I had one in 357. it chambered 357 and 38 without issue. Very accurate.
Hi from France, you've 4 tapped holes for Rossi rail . It's great for accuracy ! I made that on my 44 mag ! Well, welding a metal part on your steel plate ....
Yes, considering using a rail on the R92. Also tonight the video will be about fixing the plate. No welding involved. Thanks for the view and comment from France!!
@@cervus-venator I put a 2moa red dot Vortex Crossfire
👍👍nice, I bought a Rossi r 92 in 357 earlier this year. I’ve been taking mine deer hunting trying to shoot a doe and I have seen plenty but they’ve all had little ones. Mine is not a carbine it has an octagon 24” barrel.
Hmm, Lance I see my reply didn't post. I stated that I love that long octagon barrel. You'll certainly get a full burn with that one. Good luck on the doe hunt. I hope you get one.
Yeah I’ve had the same problem, I posted when your video came out and It wouldn’t show up so I reposted later. Happens to me a lot.
I love my Rossi 357! But dang?!?! Now I keep thinking about that darn sight you put on yours!?! 😲🧐🤔🤓🤔 I like peep sights! 😂 You plate breaker you! 😂👊🏻👍🏻
Cool, yeah it sure is a fun gun to shoot. The peep is pretty cool too. Thanks Ken!!
Young man you had a happy face there once lol . I have a Rossi 22lr and a stainless steel 357 Rossi lever action i love them both personally i like the Rossi better than the Henry 44. Also bought a Heritage 357 rough rider to go with the 357 lever action it's a sweet gun Also. Thanks for sharing be safe
Cool Mike! I need to look at that Heritage 357 Rough Rider. Thanks for the comment!
@@cervus-venator ya it's pretty sweet gun. I buy all my guns n ammo at my local gun n pawn shop I've known him since he was little feller he gives me good deals I told him I was wantin 357 Heritage rough rider he told the place he ordered his guns from they just happen to have one I grabbed it cause couldn't find one.
That's got some hit behind that smack. And that is a nice rifle.
Thanks Jeff! Yeah it does good and I love that it is so short. Easy to throw into the truck.
The sharp corners on the square hole are breeding grounds for stress fractures. Next plate, find one that has a round hole, less likely to develop cracks like this plate has. Had a good "surprised face" looking group going right before the break, lol.
I've done some work to the plate and it is operational again. It is not the best as I messed up a little. I'll be making a video on this with the main message being don't waste your time and money, just buy a new plate.
@@cervus-venator I think welding AR500 might affect the hardening in the area of the weld...I might be wrong on that though. Either way, sounds like good advice to just replace the piece.
Even further, that plate is drenched in lead, when you weld it, the lead turns into a progressively deadly poison. If you have to, only weld in a very well ventilated area and keep your head out of the fume plume.
Well, my R92 experience has been a nightmare. So, just remember, it can happen. That peep sight that replaces the safety costs around $60. I'm in the process of trying to re-find the website to order one. When I do, I'll put it in the comments.
I appreciate that. Hate hearing that you've had issues with yours. I agree, they are not all created the same that's for sure.
Very nice, ive got some double tap 180 that packs a punch. I wanna get my hands on some underwood
I've done the full spring kit, stainless follower, rail and scope on mine id say it's my favorite next to my cz
@@bfox87 Cool, where sis you get that stuff from?
@cervus-venator i used the Lee's spring kit, and the rail and follower i got on ebay I used a burris 2x pistol scope but the eye relief is too long it works great you just can't lean in close to it
Nice ! I thought i found a nice rossi 357 , it was a beauty , blond wood & brass but it was a 22lr... ah well.
Aw man! Oh well, keep looking. I'm sure enjoying mine.
RIP little plate. The hanger must have slowly wore it down. I would have expected your Sheppard's hook to have broken first.
Oh, I've breathed a little more life back into it. I need to put together the video on this. I was shocked that the ar500 broke, but a guess after so many shots this one took it was just a matter of time. Thanks Tex Mex!
NOE Bullet Molds makes rails for 92s, not sure if for 454 as it has a different barrel profile. They are great for red dots or scout scopes. I have them on both my 44 and my 357 Rossis.
Thanks William, I'll certainly look them up.
👍Cervus. Thanks
You bet Mike, thanks for watching!
It’s got the punch behind it
It does hit pretty good.
👋🏼 Hi Randle!
Me gusta el rifle aunque el 357 mag me gusta más en revolveres. Pero igual buen rifle👍
Tengo la Ruger Blackhawk en 357 Mag. Lo compré para complementar el Rossi R92 357 Mag. Me gusta disparar estas pistolas de palanca calibre pistola. Algunas cosas divertidas. Gracias Tony!
Os that thenone obamy made - a huge ship comes in and grounds on the beach
Don't know where yo got that plate, but I've been warned against Wallyworld steel, for that reason. Mine don't get much more than 22lr thrown at them.
However, I am getting to the point of stepping up the abuse!
Its almost time to see what my 7mm-08 is really about and what we can do to make it better!
I can't recall where I got it. Maybe a gun show or Ebay. I've shot this plate with the 45-70, 308, 5.56 you name it I've likely shot the plate with it. So I can't say too much bad about it. I've got a video that I need to put together where I work on the plate some. Oh and yeah, you need to shoot that 7mm-08 and smack that steel.
@cervus-venator I just picked up the Caldwell 4" plate from Wallyworld.
Hoping to get some rounds on it at 200 with the 597 soon.
Yes, I definitely need to get behind some centerfire rifles before I forget how!
I have been thinking about getting a 357 in a pistol and rifle. How light is the recoil on that rifle? Good video
I don't really notice the recoil. With the 38 specials it feels like a 22LR, LOL. I guess the recoil can be compared to a 223.
Hey Cervus
Hi Randle 👋🏼 I see some of my replies are not posting.
Cervus do you reload your own rounds
Some, but it all is about a matter of time with me. I have the dies for the 357. Bought a used set at the pawn shop, but I have not loaded anything due to time.
Which height front sight did you end up going with, with that Skinner rear sight? I’ve have the same rear sight and have been noodling out front height. I’m 3” high at 25 yds with the rear all the way down.
That is the stock front sight that came with the gun. I'm not sure of its height, but it looks like 7/16 of an inch. Now, I do have the rear peep screwed out (up) a few turns. I kept tinkering with it until I got it hitting the target when centering up the front sight in the peep. Also, I have a smaller aperture in the peep, but not the smallest one.
@ yeah some people can use the stock sight, mines too low. I need about 5/8ish to get me right and put my rear sight in approximately the middle of adjustment. I’m as low it’s it’ll go now and still 3” high at 25yds.
I’ll order one a little taller than I think I need, can always file it some to bring it in.
The front was fine on my 45-70 and Henry 22, it’s just this Rossi that’s whooped me.
Thanks for the reply.
@@megastick9324 I can tell you this. When my friend shoots this Rossi of mine it will not hit in the same place because our cheek welds are different. He needs a taller front sight. He ordered one for his R92 in 44 Mag so that he can get it shooting correctly for him.
How do you like the peep sites ?
For me personally it took me a bit to get used to, but it works fine now. I think it is easier than some sights, but the semi-buck horn that came on it was fine too. I used a peep in bow hunting for years that worked fine, but then again that peep is right in front of the eye. This one is quite a distance from the eye.
Weld that eye closed
Dang, I didn't consider this. Oh well. I cut the "ears" off and drilled a hole in the plate. I'll put up a little video on doing this.
