I was rearranging (wife calls it cleaning) my reloading area and found 1000 hard cast 160 grn .357 SWC GC bullets that I apparently bought sometime around 2002. I guess they have been misplaced ever since. I have a ton of cases and thought about making a general purpose or field load at about 1100 to 1200 FPS. The purpose for these loads would be recreational shooting and general desert/woods bumming. I have CFE Pistol, 2400, Unique, H110, and 231 on hand and in quantity to load up a 1000 rounds.
I am looking at:
6.5 grains for Unique
5.0 grains for 231
5.5 grains for CFE Pistol
I will probably leave the H110 and 2400 out of the mix for now.
Just checking in to see if anyone has some suggestions? I will shoot these out of a couple of Ruger GP100's, a Blackhawk, and a Ruger M77/357.
