So if anyone recognizes this, I was working up a load for deer in 357 mag. I'm newer to the revolver world. It's a ruger gp100 6 inch barrel.
Been loading mp hammers flush to the cylinder so that the bullet barely clears when rotating around. I figured that would lower pressure and help out a bit since I'm running it on the hotter side, using lyman50th for reference.
Using the cup point they weight out to 166grns so I used the data for 358429
This is what 14.8 grns of h110 does to the primers. Sometimes they're blown pretty flat, sometimes they arent. Can see the rough millwork on the back of the revolver imprinted onto the primer cup too.
I dont normally try to get it all hot rodded up. No need with rifles,and accuracy seems great. Should I stop here or back off some? I think I'd back off but I'm not as familiar as some of you guys may be.
Might be a little subjective but,
My hand says it's not nearly as hot as some factory j-word 158grn pmc stuff that I shot a while ago. was almost painful to shoot a box of that..
That or I'm starting to like the recoil Lol
Any opinions?
