Fantastic carry piece and better yet with 125gr's in the maxium range, but DAMN :shocked: that little bugger kicked so hard, it took a layer of flesh right off my trigger finger!! :help: :scared:

Love the gun, but was contemplating on getting the matching .44Mag. Uh no thank you.
That little .357 kicked harder than any of my .44 and .500 loads ever... :supergrin:
That is all

I rented one of those at the range recently and put some hot rounds through it. It did put a bit of a spanking on my hand but my 500 still has it beat.

The Scandium 44 is the heaviest recoiling gun that I have shot.

I think GA Arms is trying to put themselves out of business with their new web design. I gave up trying to navigate it the other day.

No doubt smitty! I'm skeered of it already :shocked:
I think I'll stick with my .500 and 440gr cast loads for recoil fixes. :supergrin:

gwalch,
Give them a call, great folks to do business with.

Yeah its a PIA for sure.
I shoulda called them last week, but instead made an hour drive to the gun show only to find no .308 blasting ammo left. Only Match type 20round boxes...:sad:

I wouldn't even shoot .357Magnum Golden Sabres out of that revolver.



Georgia arms makes great ammo. I always load up at gun shows.

I would be willing to bet I won't either. :)

Georgia Arms makes great ammo at full power!!

Love their ammo - and reloading lead. I'm just NE of Birmingham - less than a hundred miles from them. They quit doing the AGCA gun shows, three a year at the BJCC, but I still looked for them this past weekend - in vain. UPS is high for that distance. Meister Bullets will ship in a USPS 'Flat Rate' box for $10 - cheaper by far.

The only problem ammo I've bought from them was their hot & nasty .32 H&RM 100gr JHPs - made 1,186 fps from my BHG 4.6" SSM - and nastified it into uselessness in 30 rounds. Their 158gr LHPSWC +P .38's are a steal at $17.50/100. Nice folks - they are experiencing the same difficulties we are in getting primers & brass.

I just ordered a box of 50 DoubleTap 158 gr. Gold Dots, rated at 1400 FPS from a 4" barrel. My gun is an all-steel model 65 with 3" barrel, and (from what I've read) S&W specifically recommend firing only 158 grain bullets through it. So I must comply.

The little 110 grain WWB rounds I fired today were pretty snappy. I can't wait to see what the DoubleTaps feel like.

I just ordered my .357 reloading dies and some bullets, but I'm gonna load my practice ammo to .38 Special velocities, using .357 Magnum cases so I don't burn the chambers farther back.

I've been shooting their 200gr. 45acp SWC's and love them.
