i was wondering if any of you have loaded black powder in a 357 mag and tried to load it hot, im sure the brass can take the pressure, so whats the most amount of grains of powder you can get into it and what kind of velocities is it possibly to achieve with 158 and 180 grain bullets?
im not asking for the purpose of duplicating any cowboy action loads or just plinking, im wondering if in a pinch with no other options if you could get enough energy out of it to be somewhat useful for hunting medium game either out of a 5" pistol or an 18-20" rifle?
