Wondering if anyone has worked up a 200 gr bullet load with Alliant 2400 in .357 Magnum. The specific bullet is the Lee C358-200-RF, which I just got in. The heaviest bullet on the Alliant site uses a 170 gr GDSP and 14.5 gr 2400.
I have plenty of 2400 and would like to see if I can comfortably hit somewhere around 1000 fps out of a 7" 686, which I believe should be doable. I won't get a chance to cast till tomorrow and afterward will see if this bullet will fit the cylinder at the crimp groove or if I'll have to go deeper.
I have an idea where I might start pending any data (I'm not finding much of anything for 200 gr bullets and 2400 on web searches), but looking to see if any of you have anything to share.
Thanks all and have a great day.
