NEED HELP WITH TSW 356 LOAD

[JTF2]

Can anyone help with info on reloading 356? I am down to 12 boxes of factory left and have not had much luck finding a good load.
Tks Dan

See if anything here helps. I have one of these pistols on my short list. I would consider sending it back for the 9mm conversion while you still can. You get all your old parts back unaltered. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?act=Search&CO...&highlite=%2Btsw+356

Google it and do some reading....

Have you chronographed your factory ammo?

Also, you can sometimes find what powder is in your factory ammo, pull one and weigh the charge and bullet. Back off by 10% and work up to the factory weight and velocity.

Dan,
I've been using the following load on all my .356's with excellent results since I bought my first one in 94.

Federal or Starline brass.
Primer Winchester WSP
Powder: Accurate #5 - 6.9 Gr.
Bullet: 147 Gr. Remington FP Match

I have noticed the Starline brass doesn't appear to be the same quality as the Federal. I bought a barrel of Starline .356 (about 27k pieces) about eight years ago and I occasionally get a split case on first loading with the Starline. This load seems pretty close in felt recoil and and accuracy to the original Federal match load.

I have a whole list of loads in a word doc I picked up from I think CP bullets year ago. Let me know if you'd like it and I can email it to you. I can't vouch for it' accuracy as I've only tried a couple of loads off it and always end back up with my original load.

Gman356ca,

Thanks in advance,

THE 356TSW IS JUST A 9 X 21.5. SO I WAS TOLD BY THE PERFORMANCE CENTER THAT ANY 9 X 21 LOAD DATA WILL WORK . NOT FOR AOL BUT FOR BULLET AND POWDER COMBOS. JP
