MBC 140 gn .357 Zinger

[Comrade Mike]

So I just ordered my sample packs from Missouri Bullet Company (Huge thank you for the THR Discount!). Im looking to switch all my revolvers over to lead bullets.

For my .357, I decided to try the 158 gn .357 Action and their 140 gn .357 Zinger.

I am looking to push both these bullets to magnum velocities and see which one performs better out of my 6" 586. However I do not see much data of the 140 gn flavor. Any members out there with experience pushing this bullet with 4227 or 296/110?

Mike, I'm not a fan of H110/W296 under cast bullets but of course it can be done. IMO 4227 is on the slow side for the .357 Magnum. I know, not good news but it's my experience that HS-6 works very well in the .357 Magnum and cast bullets as does 2400.

I have not tried MBC 140gr bullets but the 158gr bullets shoot well in my .357 Magnum revolvers.

I have used WW 296 with great success under hard cast and gas check bullets in .357 with magnum loads. Usually max velocity and accuracy comes somewhere near 100% loading density. WW 296 works best with heavier bullets. I consider 140 gr. to be the lower limit. I have had excellent results with a Keith designed SWC of 176 gr. and an RCBS gas check design at 192 gr.

I have shot a bunch of 140 Zingers and liked them ok. Less recoil than 158s but not as clean a hole in the target. Not much data for 140 lead out there.
I just used 158 lead and worked up but that won't help using Maganum powders that should not be down loaded.

Really happy with MBC, great product, great people.

I have had a box of Zingers on my bench for a couple of years and have yet to load them. I don't really know what "fast action" is intended to mean. When I think fast action, I think of wanting low recoil, soft loads for quick follow up. However, when I see people talking about them, they seem to be wanting to push the velocity into jacketed territory.

They show this foir the 9mm Mak bullets

For Spetznaz Ops

I like them but I am not doing any Spetnaz ops....

I liked the 140s and would buy them instead of the 158s if they were SWCs.
Just don't want to give up the cleaner holes.
