Hey guys I'm looking for recipes for the 178 grain Matts SWC, powders I have available are Bullseye, 2400, Red Dot, W231 and Unique. I'm looking for a light to medium load (below 1000fps). My goal is to raise my point of aim on my fixed sight revolver so any tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated :D thanks in advance!
Not that particular bullet, but with a 180 gr wfn.
I have good results 11.4 grs of 2400 in both my Rossi M92 and a Colt King cobra.

What Pereira said.
With the powders you listed I think this will be the load to start with. You can work up to the velocity.
Questions:
How far were you from the target..50'
Where were you aiming...6 0'clock or center hold..
Were you standing or off a rest..
What load did you shoot the target with..
What firearm...

I would go with 6grs of Bullseye
2400 has been the best for me in several 357 guns.
Here is what is listed in the Lyman #44 Handbook

11.5gn 2400 or 7gn true blue .you might to adjust up or down .
RJM52, I'm 50ft/6 O'clock hold/resting/158 Meister Hard Cast, 4.8gr Bullseye (CCI 500, Midway Brass)in my Charter Arms 6" 357 Magnum.
Thanks guys for the starting point!:grin:
Although somewhat counter-intuitive, heavier, slower will hit higher than faster lighter. If you still find yourself hitting low, a REDUCTION in powder charge may work to bring you up to where you want to be.
Anyone have any full-power rifle loads for a 168 grain SWC 357? I'm needing a deer load for my Rossi rifle. I have Unique, BE, IMR 4227, 4759, Bluedot, and some Red Dot.
Thanks.
Not good manners to jump into someone else’s post with your own question. You will get a better response to “your” question is you start a new post.Quote:
