I'm new to reloading and thought id work up a hunting load for my 4" gp-100 in .357 mag. I started out with new winchester brass and federal small mag pistol primers. The polwder I'm using is hogdon lil gun. I started my load at 14.0 grs and am now at 18.0 grs. The bullet I'm using is the 200gr lwngc from cast performance.
I shot 20 rounds of it today without any problems without anysigns of over pressure that I can see. Recoil is staring to become very noticable however the round was very accurate at 10 - 70 yards. How much more can I get out of this round? Has anyone ever loaded this round for hunting and what was the recipe? What kind of pressures am I looking at here?
Thanks for any help I can get.
