I shoot the same revolver and your bullet of choice works well. I use a red dot sight. Near book max loads with A2400 are very accurate for me. I am only telling you my experience.

One solution for knuckle busters comes from Jack Huntingdon @ JRH Gunsmithing. He redesigns your grip frame to get more "knuckle" room.

11.8-12 gr HS-6 with a mag primer.

Enjoy your purchase!

Veral wrote a book about it.

I own a 475L in BFR and these are of good quality with tolerances held closely. I also own plenty of Rugers and FA's. I am not sure if you are used to shooting big calibers but, it takes some...

There is nothing wrong with the way you are testing. Myself, I usually start my testing at 25 yds. If I end up with more than one load shooting well I back the target up to 50 yds, if I still don't...

I have used pure silicon inside the rings on hard kickers. It only takes a very small bead but, the scope will never move.

I think I mentioned that I stuck with one revolver for testing. Changing the revolver might make a difference because the GP100 has a 1to18 twist and a Blackhawk has 1to 16 twist. [or visa versa] I...

I have continued on loading in .2 gr increments from 3.5 gr to 4.9 gr loads with no notable accuracy nodes. At first I thought 4.1 and 4.5 gr had some promise but after shooting 20 more of the...

I don't know it possible to burn that much H110 in that short a barrel.

As a start I loaded 5 of each .2 gr level. The only five shots that show any promise were the 4.1 gr level. I also shot a know accurate load last just to verify my shooting that day under those...

I got a chance to test some loads today. This is continued from my last thread 358429. I tried 25 yd shooting with my 6" GP100. My loads are 3.5, 3.7, 3.9, 4.1, and 4.3 grains of TG, Federal 100...

I will try to get the bullets loaded today and get out to the range this week. Because of prior engagements there might be a delay.

Thanks for all the replies. I believe I will start with 3.5, 3.7, 3.9, and 4.1 [OAL 1.635"] and see what kind of accuracy I can get at 25 yds.

The throats are long enough to seat the bullet in the groove. The GP100 has a little shorter cylinder and the OAL has to be held to 1.640" or slightly less. The Blackhawk has plenty of room. I was...

I want to load this Keith bullet for target loads. Actually, being more specific, I need loads with Titegroup. I will be using them in a GP100 and 6 1/2" Blackhawk. Also, I will be using 357 brass....

44man used a 30mm ultra dot. The 475L is a great round and full house loads can be saved for dangerous game. I shot a bull elk a few years ago with a 400 gr WFN at 1150 fps and it was easily capable...

I like a 180 WFN with 13.5 gr/ 296 and a mag primer. Chrono reads 1240 fps out of my 6" GP100 and is very accurate.

I load a 300 LFN bullet for my FA 83 that is extremely accurate at 100 yds. The load is 28 gr /296 with a CCISRM. The load goes over the chrono at 1470 fps. Only shot one whitetail with this load and...

Thanks for all your replies. I am 66 yrs old and probably won't start casting now, but I do shoot a lot of cast bullets. I believe I will go with a cast bullet at 12BHN that is powder coated....

If you are choosing a bullet for your .357 mag and decided on a 158 gr for your target loads would you go with cast or swaged? I intend to keep the velocities below 1000 fps. Also, would having them...

Matts bullets cast a 265 SWCGC that you might like. He doesn't seem to mind using an alloy that you choose. I use his bullets and they shoot great and are very consistent. I also use his .452...

I have acquired a handful of both types. IMHO, the tube type seems to shield it's front lens better from bad weather if you are using it for hunting conditions. Another thing that I have noticed is...

If you want to use 300 gr cast load 28 gr/ 296 or Imr4227. Matt's has a 350 RNGC with a good meplat. Try it with 26gr/ IMR 4227. [averages 1350 fps and extremely accurate]
