    JimF,

    Were you looking at using this in a handgun or carbine? I've been wanting to hear some feedback on a 200gr in a .357 carbine.

    There are a few articles on the LASC page that discuss heavy for bore boolits in 357mag. Look for 358627, it’s a 215gr boolit. You should be able to get starting loads that’s way. Lyman 358430 is another.

    I load it in 38 special brass to the crimlp grrove over li’l gun. Shoots good in a Marlin, Rossi 92, and a S&W revolver. I found good info here using the search. The info I found gave 13 grains as a suggested max and I’m loading a grain under that. I would never try to use these in a .38 special, I haven’t tried to see if they’re too long to chamber. Proper precautions should be taken to prevent that from happening.
