Win 296 for 357 mag

I use it when I wish to punish both the shooter and the target in my .357 and .41 Mag wheelguns. It is very accurate, and squeezes the maximum amount of power from these rounds. That being said, a small percentage of my revolver powder usage is H110, even though the charges are much heavier than the HS-6 (.357 mid power and .38 max power) HP-38 (.357/.38 target and plinker) and Unique (.41 target) which I also shoot. I just enjoy the milder loads so much better.
 
That 16.5 charge worked for every 158 jacketed bullet I tried.
I've never used a 140, what caused you to pick that over a 125 or 158?

The 140 was what Cabela's had when I was there so I thought I'd work up a load with them.

I love H110/W296 for my heavy 460 S&W and 44 mag pistol loads. Of course, I'm going for the flash and bang. :)

When I was working up loads for my Desert Eagle 44, I tried several powders. When I got to the range to test them, I started out with my N-110 loads first, then the H-110 loads. Shooting them back to back, the H-110 loads were much louder and had more flash. Much more, even though they were essentially the same velocities. Both shot very well. If you don't want the big flash and bang, then use N-110 or 2400.

I've tried several powders in 357mag, and H-110 performed well for me with 158gn jacketed bullets. For the lighter 125gn bullets, I actually prefer BE86, and HS6 worked well, too.

But, for my 357 and 44 mag rifles, I much prefer 300-MP, where I get more velocity and accuracy.

Here is my DE44 with H110 loads:

I always make sure I have some 125 XTP over 22 grains of 296 when I go to the indoor range. It’s for those who do mag dumps with a short barreled muzzle braked AR 2 feet beside me.
It most certainly gets their attention.
