    Trail Boss Qualitative Observations

    your case seats on the rim on a .357 not the mouth of the case like a rimless case so your crimp cannot effect their fireing, if your primer pocket is not even (too deap on some cases) you may have the primers in deep enough to not see any differance with a straight edge and still not have them...

    44 mag "short barrel load"

    I dont know the seat depth on that bullet but according to quick load 9 grains should be a workable load, with a seat dept of .343 you should get 935fps and about 21021psi 12gr unique should give 1150fps at 36106 psi I dont have a manual handy to check the load data against the load of...

    Powder suggestions for TC Contender pistol in 357.

    I dont know how many fps your looking for but you should be able to get about 1500 using the unique, if you use 2400 or H110 you could get up to about 1700fps but if you are using lead you would start getting problems with leading before you got there
