I'd like to make a very light load so I can get my daughter more acclimated to a 357 magnum. My general purpose load is 7.5gr of Unique under a 125gr Rem JHP in a .357 case which probably isn't going much faster than 1,000-1,100fps just guessing. It just a little too much for her to shoot comfortably for any period of time.
I've read that a jacketed bullet needs to be pushed to 1,000fps minimum so the jacket doesn't get stuck in the barrel. The more I think about it the more I think it's poo unless the load is really light. I figure I better make sure before I spend the time loading. I'd like to get the velocity of the 125gr bullets down to around 800fps if I can safely. I have no .357 cast bullets.
