Thumbs up

The King Cobra is a real beast of a gun in terms of weight and strength. It deserves full-power 357 Magnum loads. Online loading manuals will give you plenty of options for whatever powder you have.

Enjoy,

Details would help.
Loading for what purpose, target shooting, small game hunting, big game hunting, self defense...
Cast bullets, jacketed bullets, plated bullets...

Welcome to the Forum

King Cobras require no special loading.

Any load listed in whatever manual you own will be just fine.

If you are asking for our personal pet loads, tell us your intended use or what projectiles you have on hand or what powders are available to you and we can probably be more specific.

If you're new to handloading the best thing you can do is
buy manuals from the major US suppliers of components
and tools, like Speer, Hornady and Lyman. Read them. Not
just the load tables either.
