Hi everyone thatnks for any feedback and just looking in.
Im working on a short barrel 357 load and im trying to get a little more power than the speer short barrel rounds but a bit shy of the full house 357. I have two revolvers that will carry this load a 327pc and a M&P 340. So im just going to list my available components and see what people think is the best to use.
Bullets
125grn barnes HP(lead free)
125grn rem golden saber HP
158 grn Rem LSWCHP
Powder; Unique Brass; starline primer; CCI 550
I m thinking the 125 barnes is my front runner choice with about 8 grains of unique. However the classic LSWCHP in a 357 could be given some extra power. I have heard that priiming your LSWCHP with a pen by pressing into the hollowpoint might aid in expansion. I also open to other powder recomendations maybe something faster that unique for thouse extra short barrels?
The reason im looking into this is my current round is a speer gold dot 158grn and I dont know if it can reach full expansion at the velocities its traveling at from my 1 7/8 inch barrels.
Thanks
Dan
