guys I'm new to reloading, this will be a first for me. I have just about everything I need to get started, so today I placed my first order for components so I'd have everything but primers on hand and that would be the last thing I went after.
I ordered a box of 158gr 357 SWC, BN16, and a box of 215gr 410 SWC, BN18. From what I've read the hardness of the bullets I ordered should be fine for magnum velocities. I'll be getting some 240gr 430 RNFP with a BN of at least 16 next time I order supplies so I can use them with both my revolver and my lever gun.
I intended to use H110 because I will be loading 357, 41 and 44 on my setup. From the small amount of time I've spent looking for load data it seemed like H110 was a choice that would allow me to do all three, simplifying my bench because I was kind of trying to get by using one pistol powder and one rifle powder.
I haven't ordered any powder yet, and I wanted to check with you guys prior to doing so, so I don't second guess myself later. I appreciate any feedback you have on the direction I'm going, good or bad. Thanks guys!
