I put together a handful of .357 Mag reloads that are at the minimum published range for a 125g XTP that have a predicted crono velocity of 1881fps. I pulled the load from one of my reloading manuals and it’s a 21.0g compressed load of H110.
I double checked on Hogdon’s website and see the same load published there as well. The thing I wonder about is that using QuickLoad, it shows this reload as way over spec with a max psi well into the 40k range. I’ve read that SAAMI reduced the spec from about 43k to 35k in the ‘90s yet these loads are still listed in several locations.
Anyone running .357 at this level? If so, any issues?
