Your Welcome! Have a great New Year.

Boltlover - I have approx 200 .40 S&W I can pass along if you are still looking.

223 brass to grogetr.

Dudegog - I had the same question on that data and in my research found a post (I can't find the post right now - I believe it was either here on over on TFL) that had a response from Hogdon. Apparently Hogdon found that for the .38 Special, the primer was unseating the bullet before the powder...

Also have some mixed range pickup 223 brass. 100 or so pieces.

Thank you! That's what I was looking for!

dunno556 - Your Welcome! Glad it found a home. Enjoy. BTW - how the heck do I quote a post?

gamestalker - Thank you. I only have 100ea of the 110gr XTPs and when these are used up, I will be looking for a more appropriate bullet weight for magnum target loads. Thanks for sharing your load info!

mavracer - Wow! Can you provide more details on what lead to that erosion? How many rounds? Was this a test gun or did someone notice an issue with performance/accuracy and then investigate? Thanks.

Thank you. And thanks for the recommendation on load development.

ArchAngelCD - The revolver is, in fact, a S&W 686. After considering the advise of the other responses, a better path is probably to acquire bullets more suited to a magnum revolver. Can you recommend a .38 Special +P load for the 110s? I will be using CCI 550 SPM primers. Thanks.

Jim Watson - Thank you - I'm definitely not looking to blaze new territory. Just looking to use up what I have on hand safely.

mavracer - I didn't realize that the forcing cone could be damaged. Thanks for sharing that. I received the 110 XTPs from Hornady's LNL rebate and have been looking at them sitting on the bench for the past 4 months! Just thought it was time to move them downrange!

Mark in GA - thanks for the reply. The research I have done on this bullet over the last month showed this was more appropriate for a rifle round than revolver but I thought I would ask the question to get some clarification from those with more experience such as you. Thanks.

I am relatively new to reloading and have mostly loaded .38/.357 light target rounds (about 4000 so far). I'm ready to delve into some true .357 magnum level loads and would like to use the 110 grain Hornady XTPs that I have on hand. The powders I have available are: - W296/H110 - HS6 -...
