Ok, first ever post.
I am new to the HighRoad and to reloading. Just finished up my first 100 target loads last weekend. The recipe I used was
357 Magnum cases
Hornady LHBWC
3.0 Gr Titegroup
I went out and shot them and was happy with results. But all during the reloading I was nervous about getting a double powder load. I know if you use a constant system and double check your cases after filling this shouldn't be a problem, but I would feel better with more case filling.
After reading all I could this past week and searching specifically on the highroad, I decided I would like to try Trail Boss. I found some cases where people quoted anywhere from 2.3 to 3.0 gr for the 357 cases and the 148 gr LHBWC. I also read where some people do not think Trail Boss is best for WCs, because you don't want to compress the powder. My questions is since Hodgdon lists load data (2.0 to 2.3 gr) for 38 spl and 357 Mag cases are longer than 38 spl then why wouldn't Trail Boss be good for 357 Mag?
I know this same type question was asked on this same forum last year, but I thought maybe someone might have some new input.
