I agree with RULE set powder measure based on individual drops - verified with a good scale once you can get 10 individual throws consistently your good to go averages are for approximating

Rule Don't have any facts for you.....but here are some thoughts. When cases are re-sized, I don't believe any work happens to the case head or primer pocket. The brass will undergo forces during firing and will expand and contract...but there is nothing we can do to return the case head or...

Hogdgons and others have 357 rifle data...that's different than 357 pistol data Rifle data seems to be the same charge weights as pistols for H110 that I looked up just now but barrel lengths and velocities are different. Rifle uses 18.5 inch barrel And pistol uses a 10 inch barrel I'd like...

based on your example.....the key issue is that its a tube fed lever action recoil will cause the ammo in the tube to smack into each other - case head to bullet tip crimping is not optional for tube fed magazines before you seat a bullet - you are expanding the case - you won't get enough...

as i said earlier its an open book question I had to read a bunch of posts this week by unclenick and this guy Humpy:D there's alot of wisdom stored in these forums

Here's my secondary guess.. I have read Blue dot can have pressure spikes....also read it could be from cold temperatures....I don't know what temperatures you had at the range So, let's say the initial push is sending the bullet down the barrel Then there is another smack on the bullet from a...

Hmm I suspected this was a pop quiz Alliant has issued warnings about high pressure with Blue dot and 357 and 41 magnums So, I wondered if this could be related....soft recovery of the bullet has been mentioned! So, I set my Henry 357 on the ground, made sure it was perfectly plumb with my...

Yes, get Lyman's 48th or buy the most recent edition Also buy the bullet manufacturers manual for the bullets you use most There's much more valuable information in the manuals than just reloading data sheets. SAMMI's drawings are also good to print out for the calibers you use. All reloaders...

I'll vote 2400 for the 357 for any 158 grain bullet But prefer 2400 with coated 158 grain SWC'S, standard primer Or Unique with 158 swaged LSWC'S Both give good groups at 25 yards

I'm thinking railroad tracks and a freight engine. Any in your area? It's been awhile, but that was always fun!

Take a look at this method for load development http://optimalchargeweight.embarqspace.com

I used the same bullet as mentioned

I’m looking to make up some 30-30 Gallery loads to shoot out of my Marlin 30-30 w/ Microgroove 20” barrel at 25 yards I have shot the following loads based on data from this website: http://www.gmdr.com/lever/lowveldata.htm Powder /Charge weight / Avg velocity / SD / ES / Group size CCI 200...

I shoot Power Pistol in 9mm its very flashy from what I read - its one of the most flashy powders if you wanted flash - one of the things would be to use a very light crimp maybe a tighter / heavier crimp might reduce flash what powders do you have? Bullseye is not so flashy

357 = 2400 What is wrong with you people?:D
