I have a 357 Herrett barrel coming for a contender. I’m excited about the possibility that this barrel has as a thumper round without excessive recoil. One thing that really stuck out in my mind though is that it uses .357 bullets which I have in bulk quantity, plus I cast so that’s awesome. I was considering the various bullets I have on hand and stopped mid thought when it came to using Speer shot capsules. With the much larger case capacity the shot capsules should be able to be driven faster, but I’m not so sure it’s a good idea. I would load a few and keep them handy for rattlesnakes. Has anybody tried it? Any input on loading the Herrett would be appreciated.
