I'm up to 20.5 grains of 300 mp in 357 magnum with a 125 grain XTP. All I can say is WOW! This is my first venture into the Magnum handgun powders. Previously I loaded what most might call "medium heavy" 357 loads with Herco or Unique.
I like the load's accuracy, the recoil is the heaviest I've ever felt in my 4" Security Six. I must say that I don't mind the recoil though. What I didn't like was that I could feel the blast across my face. Has anyone else ever felt that?
I won't be going any higher with the powder, charge even though the alliant max is 22.3 with a 125 Gold Dot.
I think I'll shoot the remaining loads and stick with the 158 grain XTP's. I like the 300 MP for that bullet weight and no face blast.
