I only use .357 cases in my Desert Eagles.
Two loads for .357 revolvers. About 75% lighter loads over the hotter loads.
Either 2.7 grs. of Bullseye with Speer's HBWC or 3.0 grs. with Lyman's 495 WC loaded in .38 Special cases.
Hotter loads also use (good condition) .38 Special cases with 13.5 grs. of 2400 under the Thompson GC seated to the second crimp groove.
The shorter cases eject much more positively (I only have Colts) and 25 yd. impact of the 2400 load is a little over an inch below the Bullseye loads.
No concerns about putting the hotter .38 cases in a light small frame .38, as there is no mistaking the Thompson bullet
when loaded out, so they are only shot in a .357 or a Colt SAA.
.44 Magnum revolvers are 100% magnum
24 gr. of 4227 with the 429421 cast 15/1.
