Noe ranchdog 357 178 grn bullet

[FishinTodd]

I ordered noe copy of the 357 ranchdog 175 mold. I got the gc version. Anyone loading it? I have a marlin 1894 cb limited w 24" barrel.

14 H110 is the most accurate
6.1 Unique a close second
11.5 2400 good dual purpose pistol/ rifle load
14.8 Lil Gun. Accurate enough to neck shoot a deer at almost 1800 FPS from a 17 inch Handi rifle

I load a similar 2400 load with an original RD mold and it shoots fine in my 2 16" Rossi carbines as well as my 627s and Model 28-2s. GF

One if my favorite bullets!!

I shoot most of mine from a Maximum and now a 350 Legend.

Good luck you have a great bullet there!!

I have original ranch dog molds for 45/70 350 & 430 and mold for 45 LC. The 45/70 shoots great in my marlin guide so I figure I would get one for 357 mag.

I use the same 11.5 gr of 2400 under 180 gr boolits in my trapper 357 1250fps very accurate.

well I finally made it to the range, had loads with enforcer, true blue, lilgun and h110. 13.5 grns of H110 was the winner with 8.0 grns of true blue a close second. all loads shot good but h110 a 10 shot group was all touching. I love this gun, so much fun to shoot.

I have the mold for 184 gr RFPB from NOE with the wide meplat for my 357 Maximum T/C carbine. Sized to 358, there is no leading or even smears at 1370 fps but at 1420, the lead smears appear. Both Unique and 2400 powders do the same things at the same velocities.
