357 herrett & complete reloading for the Thompson conten
« on: September 06, 2003, 09:57:56 AM »
I have a barrel , dies and brass for the 357 Herrett and have been reading my copy of " The complete reloading manual for the thompson/center conteder "
When I look at the Sierra data the starting loads Have a higher charge than the maxium charge for the hornady loads for the same powder and bullet weight .
When I had a 357 maximum barrel I found the Sierra data very hot and ended up only firing one round using there data and pulling the bullets on the other 19 rounds
As a result I am very hesitant to use the data from Sierra !!
Does anybody have any experiance with the sierra data for the Herrett ?
I am looking for suggestions for the fireforming loads
Thanks
