Tips for reloading 38/357

[ljnowell]

Why do so many new reloaders want to use only one powder for everything? You really won't save any money using 1 powder, you don't load the best ammo you can either. You are not doing yourself right trying to do very different jobs with only one powder. Like I said in Post #9, why reload unless you can at least equal the performance of factory ammo?

AMEN!!! I've never understood it. Reloading is about NOT having to compromise.

Unique will get you from light 38spl target loads to moderate 357 magnum range. Other "magnum" powders will take you to the upper limits of magnum land, but Unique covers a wider range of useful territory than about anything out there, and is great for getting started and learning what you're doing.

So will many other medium speed powders but without the soot and terrible metering.

i recommend getting a copy of june 2016 Handloader magazine. they had a pet loads section on the 357 mag. lots of interesting bullet and powder combos
