another 357 Mag question-which powder?
« on: March 19, 2007, 01:26:29 PM »
I see that Paul recommends Alliant 2400.  What about H110?  I have H4227 onhand from the overbored 44 barrel.  I was thinking 140 grain bullet, but other than that.........

Want a whitetail rifle for my son.  No more excuses, I finally sent the from by UPS today.

I have been pretty happy with Hodgdon in general.  I was just wondering what people have been using in Handis in particular. 

I hope that they ship faster than 8-10 weeks, but I will just let it sit and wait I suppose.  That frame has been barrel-less since October so I must not be shooting as much as I thought.
