I try to keep my powders to a minimum and use WIN231 for most of my handgun reloading. I want to take my 357 mag S&W and 45LC Ruger Blackhawk up to some heavier loads using 158gr XTPs in the 357 and 250gr (if I can find any) or 300gr XTPs in the 45LC, and getting some higher velocities with them.. not just target round fps.
Is there a powder that will pull double duty in both and give me the results I'm looking for? Is Alliant 2400 or W296/H110 the way to go?
Also, would magnum primers be recommended with these powders? Right now I use standard primers for all my rounds.
Thanks everyone!
