I've got a question for all of you with experience loading the 357.
I am now out of H110 and magnum primers. I still have a great deal of HP-38 and non-magnum primers that I use for 9mm and 38. What are your thoughts about using this mix for loading 158 JHP's up in 357 for light to medium target loads? I would be using a 6" GP100 and 6.5" BH.
Hodgdon's says to use between 6.2 to 6.9 of HP-38, but with magnum primers.
Normally, I would love to hear different options. But please consider that this is what I have to work with and no other options at this time.
If anyone has used this combo, how many grains did you start with?
