Challenger 357 helping the farm
- Thread starter Cheplicki
- Start date
it did not know which way to go after getting hit ,keep up the good work 
@Cheplicki That deer looked confused, hell I was confused. I didn’t know if it was hit and the deer didn’t know what hit it. Nice shot. So now I have a question. Challenger or Bulldog? Which .357 platform do you prefer and why?

I really loved my bulldog but finding the right slug for me was difficult.. the best shooting slug I found was Nsa 142gr and I don't care to buy big bore slugs. But the bulldog is much lighter and has a large magazine so definitely a great gun and if it shot my 150gr slugs as good as the aea does I would have suck with my bulldog.. my aea is pushing 220fpe and its all stock no mods other than I cut down the shroud and fitted a donnyfl adapter to the barrel and it's just dead nuts with my ammo but I have to single load it witch sucks but I'm getting better at keeping the next slug ready to go lol

@cheplicki Thanks for your assessment. That’s the type of balanced feedback that is beneficial to me.

I also found the NSA 142gr was the most accurate out of my Bulldog. I was able to get to 190fpe with the Pitbull Power Spring addition, but I'll be the first to say, the under 200fpe range of the Bulldog has it at the top of the mid-bore category, more than at the bottom of the big-bore category.
I am also not a fan of the specs from the Bulldog .457. They rely too much on ammo weight in order to get their power numbers, which ends up in low velocity. They should have took a page out of AEA's book and run 4500psi.
Great video on the deer culling. Even the cutest things in nature can cause havoc when it is let be.
