Most economical powder choice for light 125gr 357 loads
« on: January 24, 2011, 01:10:47 PM »
Did a search but didn't find what I was looking for.  I'm looking for the most economical powder choice for light 125gr LFN loads in a 357 snubby (SP-101 3.06").   3.5gr of Clays looks to be a decent choice.  Accuracy at long range isn't a consideration.  I'll be practicing shooting at "social" distances.

A buddy said he used 2.5gr of titegroup for cowboy action, but said that load isn't in a book and he's forgotten where he got it from.

I've used light loads of Clays (I've loaded hundreds rounds of various types and I'm still on my first canister) and loads of Trail Boss (4.0gn under a 125gn LaserCast TC) for light practice loads.  You can use pretty much any .38spl loads for the same bullet in .357 brass and be gtg or just use .38spl brass.

Not sure what you have for powder choices , you may want to look at some of the Ramshot stuff , around here its between 3 and 5 bucks a pound cheaper than most others , charge weights will be about the same as Bullseye , Clays , Trailboss or even Unique . Its just cheaper for a pound .  ;)
