Cheap..really cheap. Did I mention it is super accurate? It has not been converted and never will be. These loads have for the most part replaced the heavy and hard hitting 180 grain loadings of old. There is nothing wrong with using .357 cases if you want to maintain the same velocity as a .38 case. This causes the primer to light the top of the powder instead of the back, causing it to detonate instead of burn and resulting in dangerous pressure spikes.

Of course, there are more powerful handguns, but they are harder to control. Black powder will jam up a revolver with just a few shots and the velocity will go down. but loading cases too light can also cause the powder level to be below the primer. Since they are so inexpensive, I use a C4 tool and put on a cannelure which makes it a more desirable bullet. I always verify the powder charge after changing the insert and it is always exact to where I have that insert set.

357 magnum load data 231

296 for this application.

Info would be appreciated…need small container/s of powder too. JHP, 125 gr.

However, the .357 is still a popular and potent round. Well…I guess I was in the gamling mood this morning…tried to find and did find some info on the web about using surplus powders that Widener’s got in. The .357 Mag is one of the most flexible handgun rounds. A percentage of those 38 Special cartridges were fired in .357 Magnum chambers. WW 231 is not a .357 Magnum powder. It was still alittle spooky.

With the LCR it's strictly D/A only. One great example for pistol loaders is Winchester W231 and Hodgdon HP-38 (the same powder branded differently). Win 231, Starline .357 Magnum brass & CCI small pistol primer: can't speak for others, but I've NEVER had any significant advantage with bevel base over plain base....other than ease of inserting prior to setting into case at loading station.... Am I misreading, or does the attached data show 6.7 (not 5.7) of 231, under a lead 158 bullet? In a pinch, the .38 Super can be fired through a .357 Mag, however that is not recommended on a regular basis. Google Alliant Reloader 33 for more info, I want to load up a batch of 240 jhp -for my 29 s&w 6″ 44 magnum You can make lots of powders work for "efficiency" at the loading bench, in terms of stretching less than optimum powders across a number of calibers.

Cheap..really cheap. Did I mention it is super accurate? It has not been converted and never will be. These loads have for the most part replaced the heavy and hard hitting 180 grain loadings of old.
