357 magnum and 356637

[controlfreak]

Looking for someone who has used this combo with success.
In case I got the mold #wrong its the 9mm 125gr hollow point.
Need an idea of starting charge and coal with 2400.
This is for magnum, NOT 38 sp.
thanks!

is this the right diameter bullet for your gun? I mostly use 2400 for max loads with as cast lee 358 fp bullets and dont have any lead issues with excellent accuracy. But 2 different 9mm have leading with 356 as cast. with 3.3 bullseye??

The cast boolit handbook does`nt list the 125gr. HP for 357 ,but they do list the 356402 (121gr.)

Start at 13.5 gr. for 1140 fps-19.5 gr. for1565fps& 18,200cup & max pressure of 37,200 cup

My 356402 drops at 361 , a good bo-bo !!

I was thinking mine dropped at 357 with WW.

thanks gp100 man, not exactly what i wanted to hear, but better than nothin.

You'll be good to go with GP100's info. Use the starting load. What diameter do your boolits drop at?

[controlfreak]

Im running 13.5 with the 358429 now. I guess I will try that under the 356637.


Pondering coal and trim length.


Please chime in if you use the devestator in 357 mag.

It'll work if, IF they drop large enough.

control freak-

see post #13 of this old thread.

also notice that the boolits that were used had been altered and had gas checks
