So I am getting back into reloading after more than 20 years. I did a very limited amount when I was in my late teens and early twenties. I was just notified tonight that Midway had the Lee reloading kit I was looking for back in stock, and I jumped on it. I have some 158 grain fury soft points coming, along with some 300MP powder. I settled on that powder as it was the only one I could find in stock, although I have heard some good things about it with 357 Max. There is no load data on the Max. In that powder, but there is 357 mag. Data. I did see someone say it is good to start at the max. 357 magnum load and slowly work up from there, looking for high pressure signs as you go. The rifle I am shooting is a TC Encore with a 20 inch MGM barrel. Any thoughts or suggestions about reloading this combo. I am also curious to know if I should crimp or not. My ultimate goal is to have an accurate round that shoots as close to 2400fps as possible. I think I will get a 3 set of dies. If I have understood correctly a die set that works for the 357 mag. Will work for the Max. Any help this Newbie can get would be greatly appreciated.
