I have spring break coming up in a couple of weeks and my wife is going to be gone on a misson trip for the entire time. I am going to have a lot of time to shoot. I want to work up a good load for my 357 Marlin cowboy and my S&W 586 with a 8 3/8 barrel. I know each gun will be different unless I am extremely lucky.
I am going to use my Mountain mold boolit. It is a 160 grain plain based boolit with a 50% meplat. I wanted a boolit that would shoot good out of both my rifle and pistols that would hold up well at 100 meters plus.
I am going to start with 7 grains of Unique. I have heard the 10 grains of Blue Dot talked about quite a bit. I am using 357 mag cases.
Does anyone have any suggestions of loads and powders to try? My pistol has shot best at 100 with 14.5 -15 grains of 2400, but I am looking for a less than max load since this will be for targets.
Thanks,
