357 magnum

Hi all, I just got done loading a hundred 357 rounds with 158gr xtp's over a 15.6gr charge of h110. I've loaded this combo before with good results at a coal of 1.575, however the lock ring on the seater die must have come loose since the last time it was used and my new coal is 1.571-1.573...

With the ever increasing cost of primers, powder, and bullets, I have put more effort and time into producing accurate cast loads. Here are a few of the later and time tested loads I use for lever carbine and also the revolver. Velocity listed is for carbine which has a 10:1 twist liner...

Hi all - I'm loading up some 357mag using Berrys 158gr plated round nose bullets. I've loaded Berry's 158gr plated flat points to 1.575" before and they worked for me. If I load the RNs to the same OAL they will be seated deeper and (presumably) have a higher pressure when fired. What's a...

Hey guys, hoping someone here has some information on the old Astra revolvers. I snagged an Astra 960 revolver in a bit of horse trading today. I don't know a ton about Astra revolvers but I know they are somewhat regarded as fairly decent guns. The finish is rough but it appears to be in...

Howdy Usually threads are posted with comparison between calibers or questions about what can you do with certain caliber. My question today is: what you cannot do with a 357 magnum that will require you to go for a bigger caliber? In other words where does the line end for the 357 magnum...

Anyone have the Rossi 92 in 357 magnum? I've heard they are nice shooters. Is the cheapest .357 lever gun I can find. And I'm looking at buying one What are your thoughts?

Howdy, I recently acquired a Henry rifle in 357 mag, and I'm doing a little research before I get started reloading for it. I keep on running in a circle, so maybe some of you folks can set me straight. Here's what I want, in order of importance: 1-cheap to reload 2-good accuracy at 100-150...

Fall is here so a light jacket or vest isn't out of place or uncomfortable. I threw on a micro fleece sweater vest this morning and took the Ruger Speed Six out for a walk. It's amazing how this gun disappears under that vest. 7:30am, 42 degrees, saw one raccoon, saw one turkey clumsily...

I've just started reloading for my 1974 Blackhawk 6.5" 357. I'm using a Lee Challenger Breech Lock SS press, Lee carbide dies and a mix of other stuff. I've successfully loaded lots of 38 Special using Trail Boss and SP primers. My intent is to develop the most accurate load for 25/50/100 yard...

I am looking at Caliber 38/357 & shooting factory lead or powder coated bullets. I will be putting the die into a toolhead/ turret so I will probably not being moving it. Lyman M-die- They invented it ! They are priced near the bottom. Redding Case Expanding die - They copied it, make...

Hello friends, I recently got into reloading and it was in large part thanks to this forum that I finally cranked the lever the first time. I've loaded quite a bit of .44 magnum, .357 magnum, and .45acp since then with very good results. In fact, earlier today I had the joy of firing my 6"...

Hello, I am looking at joining a local club. The club is about 50' Bullseye shooting. It is an indoor range with a max velocity of 800 FPS & Lead or PC bullets. You cannot shoot jacketed, plated or faster bullets. I asked if 800 fps was correct and it was confirmed. I have 357 magnum...

hello, May I have your advice on purchasing a new K-frame S&W Model 66 2.75" barrel vs. a used K-frame Model 66 3" barrel or its equal that can be found to purchase? Purposes will be for (1) urban CCW Permit carry with defensive ammo vs. felons and for (2) outdoors, wilderness, open carry for...

I am in the market for my first Chrono so I thought I would reach out for advice. I don't have any experience with using a Chrono so I am not sure what options are "nice to haves" vs. "need to haves". Things that are important to me at this point are ease of setup, accuracy, and Bluetooth...

The only problem with collecting vintage revolvers is the need (my need not somebody else's) to not inflict too much wear and tear on the grand old shooters. Regardless of the quality of the four screw S&W Model 19,pre-war Colt Officers Model Target, Colt Model 1917 Army or the pre-war (WWII)...

I'm new to The High Road and after a 25 year hiatus, I've gotten back into reloading. All I reloaded back in the day was 45acp and now I've added 357 to the mix. I apologize in advance if this has been covered a ridiculous number of times, but... I purchased 125 grain bullets for reloading...

Between both of these revolvers which one is made better, more accurate and better for personal protection? Take note the Ruger that I know of does not make 7 shot revolvers. The Smith comes in both 6 shot and 7 shot revolvers 586 and 686. The Smith & Wesson brand is always more expensive...
