357 Maximum Load Data
« on: January 03, 2010, 05:34:43 AM »
I'm about to start loading for the 357 Max. Have done a lot of research online and have checked out the Hodgdon website. Bullets will be 180 grain JSP's, 187 grain FNGC's and 170 grain SWCGC's. Was hoping that some of you had a favorite recipe that you would share. I'll be shooting these in a Contender carbine. Thanks.

My data is straight out of the Accurate Arms manuel.. AA 1680 powder, a Hornady 180SSp bullet and a CCI small rifle primer.

Reloader 7,  H110, and Lil'Gun are great powders for the max. under any 180gr bullet.  AA1680 Is also One you almost always here about when the Max is mentioned . I have never tried it thought.
