    My brass turned purple

    I did the same with some 380 brass a few years ago. meant to just heat the oven to 300 and forgot to turn it down. sat in there for an hour. I've reloaded it and didn't cause any problems.

    Heavier Bullets = Same Velocity?

    cast bullet = less friction

    Hmmm...9mm

    Pretty much ruled out the pistol , factory ammo was fine. Now we're down to the reloads

    Heavy .357 Coated Bullet Load

    Just went back and read your original post again. If I remember correctly(too lazy to look at my load notes) I am getting about 1200 with my load, maybe a little more from a 4 5/8 blackhawk

    Minimum number of rounds for a good ladder test?

    I used to load 5 ea in whatever increments I felt the load warranted. Now I load 10 ea. Whatever floats your boat. Handgun only.

    Heavy .357 Coated Bullet Load

    15.5 is an aweful heavy load for 180gr. The max for a 173 gr Kieth is 15.0 I shoot a 180 MBC pug with 14.5 gr h110. I won't go any higher. I'm sure it's on the edge there. FWIW it's the most accurate load I have for .357

    357 mag with IMR 4227 range testing??? part two

    To eliminate the "human " factor you may want to use a sandbag instead of freehand. that way you are testing just the load.

    Hornady 30-30 brass

    Same goes for XTP Hornady ammo, at least for 357. I've got a bagfull of it . It's a pain if it gets mixed in with full length brass, end up with no crimp.

    Fine first choice. You may end up with Rugeritis. It's a wonderful illness. I've been sick for a few years, there is no known cure.

    Do reloaders tend to have analagous hobbies?

    I've been building traditional bows for 20+ years as well as building split bamboo fly rods. Even go so far as turning the ferrules from nickel silver on the lathe. Shooting and reloading has slowed those 2 hobbies to a crawl. Every once in a while I take on an antique restoration for myself...

    357 max with imr 4227 questions

    I've been using this bullet in front of a big charge of H110 for deer. It is by far the most accurate cast bullet I've ever used, even more accurate than the 173 Kieth. Absolutely no leading. Kudos to MBC. I also think the flat base is the key.

    2014 is almost over, what did you buy?

    No guns here either. Enough powder, primers and bullets to last for a few years. I still need more though.
