Winchester 92 in .357 Magnum. Bought it two days ago. I would have already shot it if it weren’t for the ridiculous three day waiting period implemented by the Colorado communist party.
Believe me I am not trying to over think this but I am trying to make sure that I stay safe and that my new rifle works properly for many years. So my main question was is this safe. After reading everyones responses the answer seems to be yes it is safe. After looking at the Hodgdon website...
It is funny because I chose Longshot specifically because it was in the middle. Not on the fast end and not on the slow end. Good speed but kind of in the middle. I do want to work up some faster loads (with slower powders) for hunting in the future.
I think that I am going to agree with everyone who says I should be fine. Just didn’t want to blow my rifle up on my first range trip so I thought I would throw the question out to the group.
This is another great example. Hodgdon shows load data for 296 under pistol loads but doesn’t show any Winchester or Ramshot or Accurate powder load data in rifle. That is why I am leaning toward Hodgdon just didn’t put a lot of effort into developing 357 rifle load data.
I have been reloading .357 magnum for pistol using 8.2 gr (8.4 gr is Hodgdon max load) of Longshot for 158 gr Hornady XTP bullets. This load has functioned flawlessly in the two revolvers that I have shot them out of. Recently I purchased a Winchester 92 rifle in .357 magnum. I looked up the...
The reason you are getting the same velocity with the same powder charge is that the heavier bullet seats deeper in the case creating a smaller reservoir. More pressure is created in that smaller space propelling the bullet at an equal speed. I am guessing that you are measuring velocity at...
To me it there really isn't a lot of difference from one bottle neck cartridge to the next as far as difficulty in reloading. I also do not find that there is more or less difficulty from rimmed to not rimmed cartridges. Right now it is much more difficult to find large rifle primers than...
For me the rifle is the 45-70, the 30-30 and the 30-06 with honorable mention to the .308/7.62X51 and the .223/5.56. The pistol goes to the .45ACP and the .45 Colt. The other cartridge that I think needs consideration is the 50 BMG. WW2 could have been a lot different with out the 50 BMG and...
