The .357 Herret

[kevin]

Hello there guys my question is about the Herret I love the cartrige and it's potential, my question is has anyone done any loads with a 220gr., 225gr. bullets and what loading were you useing, as of right now i'm mostly working with and obtaining excellent results with 160 grain rcbs hard cast gas checked bullet, 180 gr. hornady xtp, and 180 gr, sssp from hornady, and what other loads have you all worked with and played with including bullet weight and powder charges and powder types, i cut my brass out of virgin .30-.30 brass its plentiful around  by me , and fire form it with 158 grain hard cast with imr 2400 good accuracy and some  recoil but manageable, thanks,
                                               Kevin

I use only 200 grain bullets in mine and for the most part only cast lead bullets. It will shoot under an inch consistently at 100 with some that Paul H. sent with the barrel when I bought it from him. I have an RCBS mold that is similar that works well also.

Only powder I've used in mine is the long discontinued Win. 680 which I have a good supply of. If you have some of that same powder I can share my loads but if you don't have any of it you sure aren't  likely to come across any for sale anywhere.
