I rarely remember my dreams, but I actually had a weird one last night.
I was graduating from high school again, and we had to ride these escalators to get to where the graduation was. We realized after we'd gone from escalator to escalator that we were just going in circles, though, and had been on the same set of escalators for like an hour.
Then, suddenly we were going to some party afterwards, and were running along the highway but I had no shoes on. There was a huge accident at the end of some ramp, but it was all dark.. like they just left the smashed up cars there, but there was no police or people around. So we had to run around it, and the highway was like deserted and dark, but for whatever reason the place our party was at was brightly shining in the distance.
...and then I woke up.
*nods, rubs eyes sleepily and sniffles* Yes, it is.
Morning All

That was an odd dream.
Damn, you stuffy nose.
Last thought? Britwitch is gorgeous. Just checked out her pics, and damn, Mr. Britwitch is a lucky man.
I will not open that email. I will not open that email. I will not.
Why do I not listen to myself?

-Chuckles-
Because the voices argue?
It's just building the guilt!
Though, I'm not guilty of anything, other than working somewhere with nothing to do today.
Good grief I cannot focus today.

LT~
Yay!
All caught up. For now.
That was a very good post, Cait. Thank you.

I've had days like that sweetness. Sometimes it just doesn't work the way its 'sposed too.

Alright, so barring your specialty loads, the .357 Magnum cartridge is typically a heavier and more stable load. Either way, .357 or 9x19mm, you're still operating a pistol cartridge that isn't designed to be effective beyond 100 yards. You knew all that, sure, but it sounds like you're firing these rounds out of a lever-action?
If you're firing lever-action then you're firing rimfire. That is going to hurt you right there and not only because of the rimfire itself. You're also going to see rounds perform poorly at range because they aren't cone shaped.
Basically, you're firing a pistol round that isn't designed to be very effective at range and firing it out of a weapon that was notoriously inaccurate at range compared to larger caliber centerfire rifles.
So, while it's the poor craftsman that blames his tools, in this case I'd just say you've found out the limits of the rifle. You sound like you shoot all the time and my guess is that the combination of a relatively small pistol round and a historically inaccurate rifle are the trouble.
