Got some play time in with my Max this weekend, thats a Ranch Dog 190 gr boolit from wheelweights w/ Alox lube loaded over 25.5 grains of Reloader 7 @ 100 yds.. The overall length was 2.446 because the throat is loooong and the case was nearly full ! Load is fairly mild and burns quite clean, no lead at all. The side to side spread is me.... nasty trigger and poor cheekweld.

looks good to me...any idea of velocity?? I use a 357max for deer in a T/C handgun but have not loaded cast for it.

Supposed to be about 1550 fps , I can push this bullet a lot faster with H110 or 4227, the loads I tried are presumably about 1900 fps and are about the same for accuracy. I believe either one would make a deer veeery ill.
