For the past year or so, I have been shooting some cast solid base wadcutters in 357 Magnum brass out of several 357 Magnum revolvers. I got started when Ed Harris mentioned 10/2400 as a good load of such a type. I gave it a try and it performs very well. Having quite a bit of the original Israeli made AA5, I tried 7.4 grains (Little Dandy rotor 8) and it shot equal as well, and the point of impact and recoil seems the same as the 10/2400 load.
I keep a good Smith and Wesson 19 loaded with these things. They have always worked very well in my 1972 OM Ruger Blackhawk. I modified an RCBS expander to give me deeper expansion with these bullets which seat deeper in the case. It is 3rd. from the left or 2nd. from the right in the pic. I have used several home cast and purchased solid base wadcutters and they all do about the same.
The accuracy of these loads hold up well beyond 50 yards and while well beyond the pressure and velocity of 38 Specials are quite mild for the 357 Magnum. I am guessing somewhere around 1,000 to 1,100 fps. They should make a very good house defense load and field load for small critters up to about 50 pounds or so.
I have not read much of anything about these kinds of loads, so I pass this along to anybody that might find it interesting.
FYI...The expanders pictured are all RCBS. No. 1 and No. 3 (modified) are the older ones that measure .357. No. 2 is the current style that measures .356. No. 5 is the special order (no longer available) long .3585 for HBWCs in 38 Special Wadcutter brass. It cannot be used in regular brass for it will bulge the bottom of the case. I modified No. 3 in my lathe for wadcutter use in regular 38 and 357 Magnum brass.
