Known --
Bullets: 147 gr Silvertip JHP
Goal: "moderately hot" 357 magnum -- we don't need to go +nuke+ on this but I want it to shoot like a magnum -- approximate a moderate SD load
Firearm: 6" S&W 686
Undecided --
AA#5 vs. AA#9
(I have a lot more of the #5 lying around, but I suspect the #9 may be more appropriate for the 357 mag)
Standard WSP primers, vs. magnum primers
Does this make any difference?
Any suggestions, anyone?
