I have a few loads I use that are similar with varying results. Keep in mind these loads are only shot in .357 frame guns. I don't crono, just go by feel and accuracy.
*I load a 148 hard cast DEWC with 4.9 Gr. current Unique, CCI 500 primer and seat to the top of the crimp groove with a mid taper crimp. This has been a total "powder puff" load, very accurate and virtually no recoil, tiny bit of leading. Very cheap to load. My favorite plinking load now.
*For a bit more heat I use a 158 Semi JSP with 5.7 Gr. current Unique, CCI 500 primer and seat to the middle of the cannelure with a mid tamper crimp. This load is VERY accurate but feels like a bit lighter .357 Mag. to me. It is not a target or plinking load by any means. It gets a bit more expensive to load these. I would use these for cheaper .357 practice and possibly a lighter hunting round.
I am working on a .357 158 Semi JSP load with Unique and a CCI 550 primer...
I take no liability for these loads...milage may vary.
Have fun and be safe.
