yes indeed!They were also using 8 3/8" S&W barrels.
And 'Fly by the seat of your pants' pressure measurements.
Give it up before you shoot your eye out!

Hodgdon lists a charge of 22.0gr W296/H110 as the Max charge for a 125gr Hornady XTP bullet. Try working up to that charge weight if you are looking for "something hotter". you will be surprised at how much a difference 1.7gr will make, and be sure to use a magnum primer.My current .357 mag load is 20.3grains of W296 under a 125 JSP. I'm looking for something hotter. I have have measured 1450fps with my crono. If the information I have read is true back in the 30's when the .357 was king those boys pushed 158 grainers over 1500fps.
Yea, Clark loves to overload calibers and blow stuff up.I have read from someone named Clark about Lil Gun and that seems promising.
Keep searching every day and you'll find some. it took me over a year to find some 3N37 to buy. 2400 was almost as bad. If you were close I would be glad to give you some 2400, or AA #9, or N-110.I will just wait until I can find some magnum powder.
I would also like to say. I'm all for saftey, but the people that say something like "don't hot rod .357 it's not worth it". I say this in reply. There is no point in moderate .357 loads. It's easier to find .38 special brass and it serves the purpose perfectly for over 100 years now and all .357 mag revos will eat them right up.
My point exactly. I bought my 686 for the power factor, not to reload it to softer loads. I shoot Factory 158FP I got at Walmart for a good price. Its got a good amount of recoil and power. This is pretty much what I aiming for. Nothing more nothing less all while staying safe. I will just wait until I can find some magnum powder. Thanks for all the replies
