200 Grain CP's in .357 MAX

[spinafish]

Anyone have experience with Cast Performance's 200 grainer in a .357 MAX?  I have just ordered a hundred.  Have never loaded any bullets over 180 grains in this cartridge.  Got favorable reviews one Midway's sight.

180 grains is as far as i have gone with my Max's. I also have stayed away from cast bullets. I know it is doable but if you get them close to the velocity of the 180 grain bullets you might consider gas checks. My 180 grain load:

PaulS, were those loads shot in a revolver or a rifle??\
Thanks,

They are too long to fit in a revolver. They have been shot in three Contenders and two carbines. They seem to like nearly every gun I have tried.
Most revolvers I have seen only have a two inch cylinder - these rounds are over that length as the rifle bullets are seated to the cannelure - about the same depth as a 158 grain bullet.
