I love this powder for my Security Six and GP 100.
Anyone out there load their 357s with this powder?

I used 110 gr Sierra HP and H110. It was amazing. I never got a picture like that.Yep! My avatar picture is 21gr of Win 296 under a 125gr XTP
Here are some dusk shots with a 2.5 inch 686 and more 125gr XTPs loaded with 21g

16.7 and we're golden! Or 22.0gr behind a 125XTP. 1352fps and 1717fps, respectively, from my 6" GP100 at the last chrono session. I used to flinch almighty with such loads, but shooting them for a few years consistently has really improved my technique. When I go back to a 9mm now it's like shooting a 22.Oh sure, 16 grains and a 158gr XTP. Is it necessary? No. But is it fun to shoot? Also no. It's my go to load for reminding me that I'm not as much of a bad-ass as I think I am.
Yep been using it for 40 years in my 357 loads.I love this powder for my Security Six and GP 100.

That 16.5 charge worked for every 158 jacketed bullet I tried.Yep been using it for 40 years in my 357 loads.
18.5 gr with a 140 gr Hornady XTP or 16.5 gr with a 158 gr Speer JSP
(The Speer for 40 years, the Hornady for 3 years)
