Hit me with your favourite powder for .300 Winchester magnum.
I have accurate magpro and H4831sc on hand, and have started load development with magpro using 180 gr and 200 gr projectiles.
Looking to hear what powders you prefer. I always like to try a couple powders when hand loading a new to...
Thanks for all the advice guys.
I use H110 for heavy .357 loads, nothing but 2400, if I could get it would rival that.
What I was looking for was a more versatile powder than my mid range (HS-6), which I was thinking CFE may be (due to availability).
So far I have gathered CFE has about a...
After doing some research I am thinking about trying CFE pistol. I will be reloading .357 mag, .38 special and .45 ACP.
I currently use HS-6 for those purposes, but like the range from min to max loads better with CFE in .45 ACP than HS-6.
Anyone have experience loading CFE in these...
Thanks for all the info in this thread.
After doing load testing with HS-6 (a cylinder of each @ 8.0, 8.3, 8.6, 8.9, 9.2, 9.5 gr) pushing 158 gr Campro projectiles, I have settled on 8.6 gr as the most accurate in my revolver.
I also loaded 125 gr Campros over 10.9 gr of HS-6 to cure my...
That was not a handload, it was factory Federal Fusion 240 gr SP @ 1290 fps out of a 4.2" S&W 629. That picture must have just been snapped at the perfect time.
So far due to ammo availability at my LGS, I have only shot 158 gr projectiles (LRN to JHP) in .38/.357 magnum.
Lighter projectiles will be something I will have to try out. How do you find the accuracy? Comparable to 158 gr? Thanks for the info.
It looks like loading .357 magnum is going to...
Lil gun was one of the few powders available at my LGS. I will have to pick a lb up for experimenting with full power loads. Thanks for the information.
Beauty Six, Bayou. I like the custom grips.
Mine looks almost the same, except I have hogue monogrips on it, and it has the red insert front sight. It was made in 1985. I have the original wood grips, but would be interested in some nice wood to dress it up.
OP, you made the right choice. I...
The 6" heavy barrel on mine does make a big difference reducing felt recoil for sure.
It sounds like HS-6 was a good choice, with the ability to load medium to heavy loads. I can already tell I am going to enjoy this almost as much as shooting.
I am very pleased with them as well, great workmanship/fit and finish on the one I have. Exceptional deep bluing. It was made in 1987.
The only thing is the trigger is fairly heavy, even with the hammer spring strut set in the lowest hole on the "regulation ring". I believe it has to do with it...
This is why I asked for component recommendations rather than pet load data. I would rather develop loads for my own gun than try every load posted on the Internet.
I appreciate your concern, but I will be operating within published reloading manual data. I have no desire to damage my handguns...
I would be interested in your preferred powders and projectiles for all three types of loads.
Up here in Canada however, the only two legal answers would be for target shooting and bear defence (which requires multiple hoops to be jumped through to be awarded a wilderness carry ATT). That...
