    My velocity for 158s, is just under 1600 fps in my 6" 357s. Less in the shorter ones. If I recall, in my 92, the velocity tops 1800 but my numbers are not right in front of me.

    Thanks for listing that 1968 load data page. That one is one that I have never seen before. Although I sure have used a lot of those square containers of powder over the years.

    While it is known that 2400 loads down well, I always use 2400 with 158s, and the charge has always been 15.0 to 15.3, rarely higher.

    158 grain original 357 magnum load had more 2400 in it than the one just listed,.. If it's unsafe for your gun,...your gun must not be a heavy frame 357.
