Has anyone ever used Bullseye or Unique for .357 Magnum? I current have Bullseye and 2400 (no Unique yet) but I am looking for more cost effectiveness. What loads do you find effective for a practice load?
I am firing 158 gr. laser cast SWC bullets from a Colt Mark V Trooper revolver with a 4 inch barrel. I have found that 13 gr. of 2400 is a very accurate load for my colt but I am looking for a more economical loading.
Using 13 gr. of 2400 yields only 538 shots per 1 pound of 2400.
Bullseye:
Lyman lists a range of 4.8 -7 gr. which is 1458 to 1000 shots per pound of powder
Lee lists a range of 5.9-6.5 gr. which is 1186 to 1076 shots per pound of powder
Unique:
Lyman lists a range of 6.4 to 8.3 gr. which is 1093 to 843 shots per pound of powder
Any advice on a cost effective and accurate loading? I fire .38 special from the same handgun but I enjoy feel and recoil of the .357 so it doesn’t necessarily have to be a light load.
