    My load for IHMSA in the strong FA 357 revolver is the RCBS 200gr boolit with 16.3gr ADI2205 (4227). Usual warnings apply.....OK in my gun but may not be in yours.

    A+ on the RCBS 200gr rifle bullet in the 357 mag ! probly one of the most accurate 358 cal cast bullet designes out there for handgun or rifle!

    My pet .357 load for IHMSA silhouettes was the old NEI #151 (170 gr. TC) over 16.0 gr. of IMR4227. Don't recall that I ever chrono'd the load but, from a 10" Contender, a solid hit would drop 200M rams quite smartly. Also tried shooting the same load for NRA Hunter Pistol but match director threatened me with a DQ for bending his mild steel 100M rams.
