.357 maximum loads
« on: March 05, 2007, 12:51:11 PM »
  Gotta start reloading for my H&R 357 maximum.  Was wondering what others here are using with good results.  I'd like to try some of the "rifle" bullets i the 200 - 250 grain range actually.  Anyone able to offer any suggestions and/or recipes?

I didn't have as good of luck with the 200+ rounds mine really likes bullets @ 180gr and it really didn't matter which one they all shoot inside 1.5"s @ 100. 4227 and 1680 work well as powders, My favorite load is 21gr of 4227 under a 180gr RNFP GC hard cast @ 2000fps very accurate and knocks the water outta whitetails. 8)

mine loves 158gr hornacy xtp set on top of a max load of RL7.  Don't remember the exact weight of that.  Max load from barnes manual.  This load loves deer.

I had weak results with Reloader 7 and 180s.  H110 with the Horn 180 XTP does well for me.

baja

what do you mean by "weak results"?

are you referring to velocities or bad accuracy?
