Does anyone have info on how well the RD 357--175gr bullet performs in 357 mag or max?
Thanks.

It is designed for rifles and their long, gently tapered throats. It is the ONLY boolit I have had any luck getting very good accuracy from in my Browning B92 and a friend's Marlin 1894 using smokeless powder. The short, fat nose engages the throat when seated to a OAL that allows feeding through the magazine.

I have shot a few in my Marlin. I had to worki the carrier a little Roget them to cycle reliably. The nose was just long enough to make them jam coming out of the magazine.
I haven't shot enough to say a lot about the bullet. It seems to shoot pretty well in my rifle. I haven't tried any in handgun but have no doubt they will work well there too.

Not through working up loads, but have had very good results with it and A1680 in my Max. I use pretty stiff charges and have GC and PP the boolit, groups around 1" or slightly less. GW
