Hi Guys - I just picked up a Ruger GP 100 6" .357 mag and want to work up a few loads for it. I've loaded rifle and 9mm before but no other pistol rounds. I could use some recommendations for bullets/loads for both range plinking and hunting.
Most of my range shooting will be for the fun of it rather than super accuracy. I'd like to load .38 spl for plinking and .357 for both plinking and hunting. Hunting loads will be primarily as a backup for hogs and deer rather than a primary round. My setup is a Lee 4 hole turret press.
Based on other helpful info I'm going to pick up some Unique, Bullseye, and 2400 as I understand these are good powders for the range of applications I'll have.
I'm a bit confused at the range of bullet choices out there and could use some recommendations on what to start with for my various applications. Should I get some bulk Missouri Bullets for plinking? If so, which ones? What about hunting?
Thanks much in advance.
