Just perusing 2005 Alliant Reloading Guide for .357 Mag. cast bullets and found some data I don't understand.(not an uncommon state) They give 7.8 gr. of Unique for 158 gr. JSP @ 1280 FPS, developing 33,200 PSI. The same data states 6.8 gr. of Unique for a 158 gr. cast LSWC @ 1295 FPS but with a higher pressure of 33,900 PSI. I can understand the difference in the amount of powder and velocities, but fail to understand why the cast bullet with less powder has higher pressure. Any help out there?
Thanks in advance and good shooting' to ya.
