 Re: give me a .357 loadI think it takes me about 2 hours to do 100. That includes depriming/priming

Re: give me a .357 load
I consider that 1k the never go below mark. If I only have 1k rounds left, I load more before I go! I feel the conniption coming on.... _________________ .44 Magnum Because small and light, or large and slow are not your only options. |

Re: give me a .357 load
I am about 1k now (between factory and reloads), so I guess that's zero I think my plan is to buy a box of 9mm here or there until I get to 1k, and have my factory rounds be my emergency supply, and then have my reloads be my plinking and practice ammo _________________ "Once you've been first class Air France, an accidental drone strike on children makes sense." ~Duncan Trussell "Americans love drugs.

Re: give me a .357 load I should have been more clear. I have less than 200 reloads. Still have 1k plus factory rounds.

Re: give me a .357 load Ah, ok, I can calm down a bit.....
I've got plinking loads of both reloads and factory. I don't buy defensive ammo. For reasons I've already got into. I don't have the big multi stage presses that some of you guys have. So I don't sit and crank out huge quantities. I like to sit and individually weigh each charge, and be as anal retentive as I can for each one. It might take me an hour to do 50. But, it's fun. And, I've got time on my side. I know I've got more than 10K under my belt. _________________ .44 Magnum Because small and light, or large and slow are not your only options. |

Re: give me a .357 load

Re: give me a .357 load
Ha. It really is a hobby for me too. I really enjoy it. Time, however, is not on my side. Especially this time of year. I work six days a week 10-12 hours each day. Two young kids and a wife on top of that=not a lot of me time. _________________

Re: give me a .357 load
i weigh each charge. not because I'm anal, but because I am afraid. _________________ "Once you've been first class Air France, an accidental drone strike on children makes sense." ~Duncan Trussell "Americans love drugs.

Re: give me a .357 load
Ah, what's the worst that can happen?  When I was loading specifically for the C9, I could pretty much just fill it up. It seemed like that little gun worked better the more charge I put in. The Glock, not so much. Still, there was a case head failure, and it just broke the magazine retainer clip. Easy fix, shooting the same glock now. I know it can be dangerous in certain circumstances, but..... _________________ .44 Magnum Because small and light, or large and slow are not your only options. |

Re: give me a .357 load
well when loading for .357 and .38, a lot of bad can happen _________________ "Once you've been first class Air France, an accidental drone strike on children makes sense." ~Duncan Trussell "Americans love drugs.

Re: give me a .357 load Yeah, but I guess I have a cavalier attitude to it.
Are you shooting .38/.357? I've heard you talk about loading it, but never heard you talk about having one. _________________ .44 Magnum Because small and light, or large and slow are not your only options. |

Re: give me a .357 load My dad has one of those. Good gun. Though I wouldn't feed it a steady diet of what I give the ruger.

Re: give me a .357 load

Re: give me a .357 load I'll have to get my books out. I'm at work now. I know it's at the Max in the Lee Load book for 158 XTP HP over AA#7 if anyone has one handy.

Re: give me a .357 load I'm loading some more .357 tonight. My book shows that I loaded 158 gr. JHP with 8 grains of unique last time
but I'm looking at this and it says 7.8 grains is max http://www.reloadammo.com/357loads.htm is 8 too high? this is out of that S&W 686, 4 inch barrel _________________ "Once you've been first class Air France, an accidental drone strike on children makes sense." ~Duncan Trussell "Americans love drugs.

Try this place. 8 grains seems about right. |

Re: give me a .357 load
thats what I went with. But I'm curious about the difference in FPS stated on handloads.com versus reloadammo.com. reloadammo has .2 less grains and about 200 more FPS _________________ "Once you've been first class Air France, an accidental drone strike on children makes sense." ~Duncan Trussell "Americans love drugs.
