What ammo would you like to see made?

Have I got a deal for you, Dave.

I have my doubts as to whether the 1905 ammo was really going 900 fps, but it is still a good load. Available from Hornady as above and the same bullet at 925 fps from Fiocchi. Easily replicated by handloading or a commercial reload with 200 gr SWC at 875 fps for close enough practice.

Jim,

I've been carrying the Hornady load for a number of years and have loaded tens of thousands of 200g H&G #68 SWCs, at 900 fps from a Government Model, since 1975. I've read a number of bad reports on the Hornedy XTP performance so I was asking for something new or better. Federal is supposed to have a new 215g Hydro-Shok at 900something fps. I haven't been able to find any source that has it in stock. I suspect it may be "unobtainium" and fade from the market before it sees the light of day.

+10 fingers for a 147-grain HST in .357 Mag, it's time we had a proper successor to the almost unobtanium 145-grain Silvertip.

How about the Hornady Critical Duty 135 grain .357 Magnum?

Hornady's gelatin numbers look good. I haven't gotten my hands on any yet.

At least for me, I’d draw the line at 145 grains so it’d be reasonably close to POA with fixed-sight guns. I’ve tried the 130-grain Hydrashoks and they hit too low from my 681.

I know the standard is 12-18" so 14" penatrates "enough" but I want more if I'm carrying a revolver. 16-20" is what I want.

That's also with a vented 8" barrel.

True. I'd like to see the round tested in proper gel from 2.25, 3, and 4 inch barrels.

The Lucky Gunner tests look good in 2" and 4" barrels, but it is clear gel instead of ballistic gel.

.45 Auto-Rim that’s loaded for the shaved Webley Mk.VIs

That would be awesome.

.455 Webley-AutoRim. They could take .45 AR cases and shave 0.12" off the length.

Mostly, I want better .357 options at Wally World..

--I wish Winchester would revamp their 110 grain load with a bullet like their 115 9mm jhp

--even better, loads that match 9mm 125 and 147 jhp in weight, velocity, and performance

A knockoff of the Extreme Penetrator/Defense line, with jacketed bullets to cut cost, especially in .32acp

.45AR+p+ by mainstream ammo companies, or at least cheaper options than Buffalo Bore

I have no experience with .357 Silvertip, but .357 critical duty definitely fits the niche of "more controllable than full-house loads but more powerful than 9mm+p". Recoil is definitely better than Remington 125gr sjhp and Federal 158gr hydroshock in my 640.

Golden Sabers are in the same class, 125/1250fps Considering Remington has 9mm bonded/nonbonded I wish the .357 was bonded as well.
