That's a fairly stout load! I don't shoot 'em that hot in my pistols since I lost one of the fingers on my right hand. When that happened I lost a lot of my grip strength, which made the heavy loads no fun anymore. I will say, my little brother touched one off in his Smith and immediately said he didn't want any more!Me: “hey shoot like 1 or 2 in the cylinder unless you see the final, good crimp (was still getting the dies set perfectly). They are safe, just get the feel of the recoil before filling a cylinder with the good crimped bullets”
My dad: “um, are these safe? Is it over the max? Is it too powerful? *insert worried remarks here*”
Me: “you wanted a hot hunting load….”
FYI the load was 16.5gr H110 about .2 below absolute max so as to stay within specs for any possible deviation in throwing with the Lee dropper
Just to be on the safe side I weigh all my "rifle" 357 charges. I'm sure if I was .1 grain over it wouldn't hurt the M92, but it doesn't hurt to play it safe especially when loading exactly to the max.
