I bought some used .357 brass from Maverick Reloading.
They were very clean so I inspected, decapped and trimmed.
Primed with CCI 550's, they are sitting, anxiously awaiting some powder.
I have a pound of H-110 and 100 Hornady 158gr XTP's. #35750, rated up to 1400 fps.
How much powder?
Should I just pick a load and call it good or load different powder weights to see what works best?
I have Hornady, Lyman, Hodgdon manuals, which vary a lot, from 13 to 17 grains.
I am not a competitive shooter. I won't hunt with these loads. I don't have a chronograph. And I know what will be the best in the 6" revolver is unlikely to be the best in the 16" rifle.
As usual, I am overthinking this, but want to see what you guys think.
