In my handguns and soft lever rifle loads I have gravitated to W231 powder because it meters so darned well in my Redding 10X powder measure. Consistant metering is a preference of mine.
Now I'm ready for some powerful loads in the Marlin 1894C .357 magnum rifle. The only powders I have are all fast burning powders for my soft handgun/lever loads. So I am unfamiliar with the medium burning powders I would use for my new application
If any of you could recommend some powders that would be suitable for jacketed soft or hollow point .357 bullets in an 18" rifle that meter well in a powder measure such as mine, I'd appreciate your input. I'm not looking to make "power for the sake of power" loads, just ones that pack the whallop one would expect from a .357 mag round in a rifle.
I'm not looking for load data here. I'll be looking that up in my books. I'm looking for a list of a few appropriate powders for my task, so I don't have to buy 1 pound cans of too many different ones.
