Anyone using 800X in the 357?
If so, do you use magnum primers?
I use 800X in my 100mm with standard primers but get a lot of unburned powder.
I am hoping to use a charge of 8.0grs and magnum primers in 357 for a medium load using a 165-gr. LSWC bullet.
Is that a safe starting point? Should I go lower on the charge to start? Do I even need the magnum primers?
I will be shooting these from a K-frame S&W so I don't want to beat up the gun. Let me know what you think.
