I pull my load info from Load Data.com and have a question I hope someone will help me with. I am trying to load a few hundred rds of "hot" 125 gr .357 Hornady XTP for a SP101 and a Marlin 1894C.
According to Hornady's 7th edition the max load for 125 gr XTP, using small magnum primers and Alliant 2400 for a rifle is 15.5, while the max load for a handgun is 16.9. I am using Lee auto-disks and found a sweet spot of 15.8 gr, but can I use this? Can I go up to 16.9 gr like they have listed for pistols?
I guess I'm not sure what the problem would be loading up as high for a rifle as you can for a revolver.
