Yes, it's one of my favorite .357 loads. Lots of BOOM! and flash, excellent accuracy. Do not shoot this combo in K-frames.

I shot 5 rounds of it out of my M28-2 and noticed the flame cutting from H110. So, I haven't used it in anything else that isn't a solid barrel, i.e. rifle.

BTW, clock it and I think you'll find it isn't as fast as what you thought it should be. If it isn't over 1600 fps out of a 6" barrel, it isn't fast.

Yes, lots of shock and awe. So I load mostly 140's and 158's with H110.

I only use H110 and W296 with bullets heavier than 140gr. You will get better velocities with Blue Dot, Herco and other powders in those burn rates with the lighter 125gr. As mentioned there's lots of flame cutting with H110 and the more of it you use, the more cutting you will get.

Flame cutting, Hmmm. I already have a hand full of 158 gn loaded for testing.

Just checked my Alliant powder book, and see that the two powders I already have, Bullseye, and 2400 are showing good numbers.

Thanks everyone for the info.
