190gr .357 Mag load

[waco]

This is an Accurate 36-185-E http://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=36-185E-D.png
These weigh right at 190gr with my alloy. 13.5lbs Boat Anchor(COWW?) 7.5lbs .22LR alloy, and 3/8lb Sn based babbit from a saw mill. Unknown alloy.

These will be shot in my Colt King Cobra 6"
The bullets are sized to .3585" and are a snug fit through the throats with light finger pressure.
I loaded 50 rounds with 11.0gr of 2400 in mixed .357 brass and WW small pistol primers.
These fit the gun very well. Should hit pretty hard. My local range does a bowling pin match on Sundays.
I have never gone but it looks like fun. This might be a good choice for that.

Should put you right around 1250fps, I like it.
How's the accuracy with the Powder Coating?

Good question!!!
I have yet to fire any of these!:)
I'll report back when I do.
P.S. Love and use several of your lubes. Top notch.

That would be a Great bullet for my and my girfriends .357 Rifles.
I got to look into that mold.
It might be a good small game bullet for my .35 Whelen also

I shoot a similar bullet, the NOE 360-180 WFN PB. I shoot them tumble lubed in my Marlin 1894 CS and all of my S&W revolvers, 357 mag and 38 spl.

I like the heavy bullets. My best load in the revolvers is 11 gr of A #7, 8.5 gr of A #7 in my rifle.

I'm looking forward to a range report.

6 gr of Unique undr my 201 gr Lyman 358430 gave me 1031 fps out if my 4.2" GP -100 shot over a Chrony. 1067 fps out of a El Patron 5.5".

The same bullet with 5.3 gr of Unique in my Rossi 20" carbine gave me 1078 FPS.

Bullet shape is similar to your 190 gr.

Hope this helps.

Take Care

I estimate that with 11.0 gr you are at 1000 fps out of your 6" revolver.
