Light loads 357 mag

[jim 44-40]

I know it's a magnum, but 5.5 grs of unique and the 358156 gascheck hollow point with bens red lube can shoot 6 rounds @ 1/2 moa at 25 yards . cast these with range lead. Gun is Ruger Blackhawk 4 3/4 barrel.Will try unique up to 7.0 gr

Lately I have been shooting 6.2 gr of Herco under a Lee 158 gr rfn cast with a mix of 2coww-1soww and Tac1 in my Ruger Security Six. I get about 1\2" @25yrds also.

7 gr of true blue with Lee's 158 gr pb boolit shots very well for a light load.

[Thumbcocker]

Lee 125 rnfp over 4.0 of red dot. Pop gun but accurate. Lee 158 rnfp 4.5 to 5.0 red dot. Nice load.

1/2 MOA at 25 yards is .125". That'd be 6 shots in a hole smaller than the size of a dime.

Did you mean half an inch at 25 yards? That would be a hole slightly larger than the size of a dime.

Ok, one inch group at 25 yds

+1 for a 120 ~ 160 gr boolit over Red Dot/Promo 5.0 gr in a .357 case.

Thanks for the correction. My results should have been 1"-2" @25yrds not 1/2". Hit hit the / instead of the --- key.

Anybody using a Lee 358-105 and have any data?

I have...can't remember the load but I used Trailboss (look at hodgdon's site) and my wife loves shooting it from her 4" SP100. With her red dot hitting the bullseye is hardly a challenge under 25 yards (haven't tried it much past that).

I tryed BE-86 last summer. Working up to 8gr's with a LBT 150gr. owc. I do not know how fast thy are going but I liked the way thy shot. I loaded up a bunch to plink with to get a better feel for them. But this could become my standerd load for my Security Six four inch.

I used to shoot a lot of 158 gr. swc under 5.5-6.0 gr. Herco with CCI 500 primers.

[T-Bird]

I use 8gr AA#5 under a Lee 358158 rnfp, I get 1100fps in my revolvers (6" and 7.5") and 1375 out of my Miroku 1873. I use this because it shoots well in all my guns, so when I go pull a .357 load to shoot, I don't have to be sure I'm pulling the one for the correct gun. Don't know if that's light enough for you.
