I guess I'm confused by that statement... What exactly are you proposing i learn? Reloading? Is reloading with a noisy powder some special learned skill, or exactly the same as loading with any other powder, just noisier?Learn first. Play later.

he means to not do stupid stuff and tread lightly... especially on your first batch of reloads. get a manual, read it front to back. start low and work your way up to close to max .2gr at a time. start shooting the lower charges and work your way up and take not of accuracy, controllability, look for pressure signs(sticky case ejection, flattened or cratered primer hits etc etc). stop at the point you see pressure signs and back it down a tad if that is your favorite load.I guess I'm confused by that statement...

OK, then. I had no idea of your level of experience with guns, shooting or reloading.Thanks! Thats the type of info im looking for! I have put a few hundred .38 through it, effortlessly. The .357 do give your hand quite a beating so i only shoot 5 or 10 of those at a time.
Im perfectly well prepared to reload. Ive done lots of reading. LOTS! Im just not extremely well versed in all the available powders. Ive been shooting for years, and now my kids (age 10 and 12) are getting into shooting as well. I know all of the dangers of guns, along with my kids. They just get a kick out of the .357 so id see if anyone had input on some interesting loads for it. I also have 2400. I just really need to get a few rounds loaded, so i can see the differences first hand. Reading about them is one thing, but actually loading them and comparing them first hand is completely different. Thanks for your concern though !

While my cautionary post may have been unnecessary for you, others will read this thread with the same question as you and not have your level of experience or judgement.
I meant no offense and appreciate the temperance of your response.

Mechanically, yes, exactly the same.I guess I'm confused by that statement... What exactly are you proposing i learn? Reloading? Is reloading with a noisy powder some special learned skill, or exactly the same as loading with any other powder, just noisier?
Got my .357/.38 dies a couple days ago. started loading up some rounds (mostly .38's), but wanted to load some of these as well.Be sure to load that H110 with a mag primer.Alliant powders with a standard primer.
