I’ve gotten myself into a adventure
A interesting one at that.
I’ve always loved the .357mag with a passion. If my owning 17 of them doesn’t prove it I don’t know what will. The capability to have the powerful magnum while also being able to use the less explosive and less expensive 38 special. But I want something a little different. I got my hands on some 38 short colt brass. I’m so intrigued by the little things. I’ve gotten good results with a 9mm charge of titegroup and a 148gr wadcutter that’s loaded to the same length as your typical 9mm. Pretty fair accuracy and light recoil and from what I can tell decent ballistic performance. One problem, I believe the pressure might be a bit much because I’m getting primers backing out.
What I’m looking for is to make my own little wildcat, a 357 short mag.
Nothing crazy but people are better at crunching the numbers than me.
What would be a better powder because I’m sure there is.
Or is the whole plan a accident waiting to happen ?
