Click on Castpics, then click on "reloaders reference". there are a lot of different manuals. Check the IMR manuals.

If you are interested I have 6 pages of loading information for the 357 Herrett. This info is for the Thompson Contender 10" and 14" barrel.
I recently acquired a 10" TC 357 Herrett barrel and I have a bunch of 38 cal. molds. I have just formed up a bunch of brass but haven't started loading anything. Since I'm just looking for plinking loads, I'll probably start with unique and blue dot, work up from light loads. First thing I want to try is the 160 gr Lyman 358311 bullet. Just looks like it belongs in the Herrett.
45-70, I'd love a copy of your data if you are offering it.
