I’m getting excellent velocities from BB Heavy 357 Magnum 10 shots on each sample:
19C/20 158gr JHP (looks like Hornady XTP). 19K/20 140gr Barnes lead free
AVG SD HI LOW AVG SD HI LOW
S&W 5” 27-2. 1440 17.66. 1473. 1404. 1535. 34.54. 1572. 1468
S&W 5” 27-2 (ported). 1373. 28.95. 1402. 1300. 1464. 24.83. 1491. 1413
My results compare well with velocities on the box:
1475fps. 1550fps
Extraction effort: Stiff not dropping out. Had to bang extractor
Accuracy with two hands standing at 30 ft:
Great Great
I’ve never ever gotten close to these velocities. I get ~1250fps with 158gr with 2400, 110 and 296. Haven’t tried LilGun or 4227.
Should I give up reloading 357 and just buy BB 357 or what?
