357 Magnum Brass Data

[DR Owl Creek]

This is data I have accumulated over a period of time, while trying to work-up the most accurate and consistent loads that I can. I thought I would share this with you.

All brass was trimmed to 1.280" +/-.001":

Remington (20 pcs): Average Weight 78.3 gr, ES 1.7 gr
Starline (Lot #1) (250 pcs): Average Weight 72.9 gr, ES 1.2 gr
Starline (Lot #2) (250 pcs): Average Weight 73.2 gr, ES 1.4 gr

Please add any other relevant data you have for 357 Magnum brass, such as other brands, case neck thickness, case capacity, number of times reloaded, problems if any, etc. Loading comments or quirks for this cartridge would be appreciated too.

Thanks

Dave
