    Handloader article on .357

    About 6 months to a year ago there was an article in Handloader magazine that published a lot of cast bullet loads for the .357 magnum. Well I cannot seem to find that edition anywhere. I either let a friend "borrow" it, or my wife threw it out (gasp!).

    Would someone be so kind as to scan the load data (or the entire article) and email it to me or post it? I just bought some .357 Keith boolits from bullshop and I want to give them a try. If I remember correctly, that article gave several recipes for that boolit.

    Thanks,
    EW

    What is weight and powder? Last article I saw in Handloader was for .357 mag with heavy bullets about six months ago. I have the issue, but I also have Load Data which will be most useful for you as it has all the Handloader data and everything else. I will post data for your bullet and powder unless someone else beats me to it.

    the article I found is "Heavy bullets in the .357 Mag". Send me a PM with your email address if that's what you are looking for.

    I have the same issue. I think O/P need different data.

    I think it was the article by John Haviland. To be honest, I was under impressed with the velocities he was getting. I can safely exceed (and do) with my 10mm. Cmon, a 180-200gr that cant even break 1000fps in a 357.......

    At first I thought you meant this:
    http://www.handloads.com/articles/default.asp?id=30

    I realize it is not what you asked for, but a good read if you have not seen it. Some of the 2400 loads might be too hot.
