    IMR4227 for 357 magnum

    I haven't seen 2400 in the 6 months I've been reloading till last weekend at Bass Pro. I've had good luck there for bullseye and unique also. Never seen them anywhere else...

    Mixed Powder

    Well, I just got back from Walmart with a nice storage bin for my powder so they will be away from the bench, except for the one I want. Thanks for all of the advice and suggestions. I realize whatever I do is at my own risk. I don't understand the potential of blowing up my gun or hands by...

    Mixed Powder

    Well, I get idiot of the year...i finish d reloading 357s with bullseye and emptied the powder measure into a brand new pound of unique by mistake. I'm surprised the unique didn't have a seal on it, but I'm still an idiot. In the hurry of cleaning up I grabbed the wrong one. Luckily I'm...

    Cant find 180gr 357 anywhere

    You would think they are hard to find, but like many hard to find items, there are some key vendors that have hard to find stuff. I'm not sure of the rules on this forum, so pm me and I will tell where I've bought Sierra 170 & 180 for 357...

    357 190gr Lead bullet w/ L'il Gun

    After reading all the internet hype, I loaded up some 158gr XTPs with L'il Gun and expected my GP100 to melt, but it shot quite nice and I didn't notice any excess heat on the barrel or revolver. I'm not going to target shoot with it but use it as a hunting or defensive load. I was near max load...

    I used a starting load for a 200 grain bullet using 296 and worked up from there and it shot nice in my gp100 and carbine.

    357 190gr Lead bullet w/ L'il Gun

    Anyone have experience loading a heavy lead bullet using L'il Gun? I have a hunters supply 190gr lead round nose with no gas check rated for 1600fps. I've shot them ok with 296, but I'm concerned with the higher temp of L'il Gun. Thanks, Gary

    Win 296 Available?

    LGS in NH seems to have plenty 296/110 past few weeks. 110 was $175 for 8lb, 296 was $180. In general seems like powder is more available these days, although I still can't find 2400...

    Crimped bullet rotates in the case!

    I just noticed Lee has an undersized sizing die for .38 special, I think this is what I need for now...

    Crimped bullet rotates in the case!

    It seems like I'll have to pick one, get a 9mm sizer and add a step, or put up the $ for an rcbs set and hope the sizer isn't on the high side too...

    Crimped bullet rotates in the case!

    Thanks for all of the great info guys! I'll try to respond to everything... I'm using all lee equipment and dies (4 die set). I'm using a 125gr Berrys plated HP bullet, no cannalure. I'm no longer buying bullets without a cannalure, but since these weren't seated strong, I crimped anyway...

    Crimped bullet rotates in the case!

    I’m a few months into reloading and my friends and the forums have been a very valuable resource, for sure. The first powder I was able to find was Trail Boss, so I started reloading my .38 special which I shoot in a GP-100. When shooting, every once in a while I would get a funny sounding shot...
