357 Magnum Franken-Ruger Goals

Franken-Ruger LR goals:
My 357 Mag FR should be ready soon.
Never tried this before with a revolver, but this is what I am going to attempt.
With one cylinder full/6-shots, one-shot per target in 50 yard increments: 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350 on 10" steel.
Some of it might be on 5" steel at the closer ranges.
I want to be able to shoot the string relatively fast, but scope choices can make that either faster or slower.
A LER scope will be slower I think, while I will be able to adjust for distance faster with a riflescope.
Next, I want to put 6-shots downrange @ 500 yards with a group of 10" or under.
I want to try this with off the shelf Extremunition ammo. This is the ammo that Chris and I used at Bang's Paradise Valley Hunt Club back in September.
Guessing the 180 grain XTP.
Then I want to try a 6-shot group with H110 and the 170 grain Sierra Tournament Master bullets.
Plan to video this and take some good pics. Not Good to Zee's level, but good for me:jester:
Of course, there will be a need to chrono loads and then get a ballistic drop chart, and confirm drops.
100 yard zero.
Time frame will depend on work schedules and the weather forecast.
I may actually hunt with my FR before I do my distance goal.
Now, is there anything you would like for me to realistically try?
Any suggestions on how this should be set-up?
Not promising I am going to try it, but I will consider it.
Thanks!
Also plan to use the wireless Bullseye camera system. Updated my software this week on both my iPad and phone.

My thoughts have been 50-75 yards on hogs, 100 yards if its a clear shot, your goals with a long barreled pistol are making my thoughts look like chip shots.
I sure am looking forward to your results. There is something about a BAM ...............Tink.

This about the same TOF as a couple of my SP's have for 900 and 950 yards respectively.

That's how I work up drop at redicilous ranges. Good loads especially the H110 with good bullets should deliver the accuracy you need you just got to dope em out!
Paddle faster!!! I hear banjos.
Reason for editing: correcting my auto correct

That's the one I'm interested in.
Good lord willing, literally, I'll make the next one. I was sore disappointed I had to bail.
