I’m trying to find a loading for my 3” 357s that doesn’t use 296/H110. I know all the warnings about the 110gr XTP in the 357 Mag but this is not a load that will be shot a lot. I AM NOT looking to rattle teeth etc. If I could get it to around 1200-1250 I think it would be a good load.
Tonight I loaded some 2400 and 231
According to the Lee manual there is a 1.0gr difference between start and max w/ 231 . I started below start like you should and hope to try them tomorrow over the Chrono etc.
I also loaded some 2400 at the start load and increased in .5 increments.
I am also trying to use a load that doesn’t require magnum primers.
Just wondering if anyone had tried 231 in this or similar applications.
