.357 Standard vs Mag Primer Test

[Walkalong]

I agree, if I was going to use 2400, but there are some better choices such as BE-86, Unique, etc. I have gotten away from midrange .357 loads and load light (WST or Competition) or near full power. (2400)

When using anything Magnum, I generally use a magnum primer, for consistency as was previously mentioned. However, for Magnum calibers I generally use the following powders in preference, H110, WW296, 2400, and IMR4227, I've tried the standard pistol primers on 4227, but didn't get any type of consistent accuracy shooting at a gong, switched to the magnum primer loaded rounds and noticed an incredible increase in hits. BTW Hondo 60 I do appreciate the testing it definitely answered some of my questions.
