Here's a previous thread on big bullets in the 357mag.

FWIW, I think using 360DW brass would be a better candidate for getting all you can out of the 357mag with big bullets, short of hand rechambering to Maxi that is.

Thanks Quick, I think I will order some of the DW .360 brass to experiment with. I also have the the Keith 170 gr. mold coming and will give it a try with the 13.5 grains of 2400 like was mentioned in one of the threads you posted. I believe it is a max load listed in the current Lyman Manual for .357 magnum. 1700 fps with a 170 gr bullet would be nothing to sneeze at - especially if it is accurate and doesn't lead the barrel too bad - will probably need to mix some lino in with the wheelweight.
 
Thanks again,
Dan

360 Dan Wesson brass, WSPM primers, 1.80" OAL, 16" barreled Win 94

180 grain Cast Performance WFN-GC, 18 grains Lil'Gun 2000fps

207 grain Custom LBT-Style WFM-PB 17.5 grains Lil'Gun 1875 fps

Both these are the most accurate out of my gun. I have gotten a little more velocity, but accuracy suffered
