GUN TYPE .357 Magnum
FIREARM PISTOL LEAD TYPE LSWC CALIBER TYPE handgun RATING 8 LEAD SIZE 158 POWDER TYPE win 231 POWDER AMOUNT 6.0 grains PRIMER CCI 500 BRASS R-P BARREL LENGTH 6.5 F.P.S 1050 avg. chronographed GROUP SIZE OVERALL LENGTH 1.600 GUN DETAILS Firedd in both a S&W mod. 28-2, and a second gen. new mod. blackhawk. The S&W appeared to prefer this load more than the Ruger, though both guns more than adequate accuracy for mid range field loads. OTHER DESCRIPTION For general field use when top velocities and heavy recoil are not wanted, this load works well.

S&W Highway Patrolman
S&W Model 19
Taurus Model 65
4" barrels on all of these.OTHER DESCRIPTION This is a really accurate load, apparently no matter what gun it's fired out of. It feels about like a "3/4-house " load, not quite full factory punch, but enough to be very enjoyable. Recoil is quite manageable for reasonably strong hands, but weaker hands might need gloves, depending on the gun's grip. No leading whatsoever.
Bullet strength is between 15 and 16 BHN with this charge. Appears to be a perfect match to this load's pressure. Bullet lube is two coats of liquid Alox.SUBMITTED ON 24 Mar 2010 SUBMITTED BY Cowboy T Published on 10-16-2014 02:29 PM Number of Views: 3612LOAD DETAILS

Don't use this load in anything but a modern gun in good shape; I have a feeling this load could blow an old cylinder apart. Work up from 9.0gr checking for signs of pressure.
