360DW LOAD DATA

[ONE HOLE 4570]

Anyone have any 360DW load data or know where to find it. Have searched but turned up empty so far, or should I be happy with 357 data

[475/480]

I think John Taffins book Big Bore Handguns has some.
 I looked in Taffins book-here are some loads DW 360 with 10" Bll
Hornady 158gr XTP 20.0gr-H110-1427------->21.0gr-H110-1515
Speer 158gr Gold Dot-20.5gr-H110-1404

 Speer 170gr JHP------18.5gr- H110-1330

360 DW Brass and Cartridge Description
      The .360 DW brass was conceived from .357 Remington Maximum brass cut back to 1.420" which gives it a trim length between the .357 Remington Magnum (1.29") and the .357 Remington Maximum (1.6").  Starline Brass Company has produced brass that is head stamped "360 DW" with a 1.41" trim length.  This is a lengthened .357 Remington Magnum case, for use with the heavier bullets such as the Sierra 170 and 180 gr., which are too long at the heel to allow proper seating to the cannelure in the .357 Remington Magnum case.  The new Dan Wesson Firearms' model 360/7360 Large Frame Series revolver's longer cylinder and the new 360 DW brass from Starline allow the use of these bullets properly seated. Performance for the 360 DW cartridge  approaches some of the loads for the .357 Remington Maximum but at .357 Remington Magnum pressure.  Accuracy is excellent at distances required for most hunting and silhouette situations.

Hmmm, Data came out all run together when I hit "submit", not nice and evenly spaced like I had it, if you have trouble reading it, PM me and I will email you the file

I also have the DW webpages with the data for the 357, 414, and 445 supermags.

Thanks,
George

Hi guys,

just to be sure when you use a hornady xpt 180 gr you would crimp in the 2nd crimp grove closest to the the bullet nose to get the OAL other wise it would be too long & not chamber. Havet got the gun yet can't check to see if the rounds chamber, just want to start reloading so I can shoot it when I get it.

Any one try these oal is about 1.69 so within length

comments would be appriciated only have had 357 calibure until now
