Poconolg Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I am looking for 357 loads to use out of a 6" barrel revolver. I have Exreme 125gr plated bullets and Winchester 296 powder and Alliant 2400. I am using 296 with a 20gr charge. I can't find any loads for 2400. Can anyone help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdude Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Alliant has data for Speer bullets, which should be pretty close. http://alliantpowder.com/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamj Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I followed the 2400 loads recommended in my Lyman book with great results. Loaded some on the hotter end of the spectrum and was getting hits on a half size uspsa target at 100 yards. Revolvers are a ton of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallisticianX Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Be aware using a plated bulled as you are requires a velocity threshhold, X-treme is 1200 fps max on standard plated and 1500fps on double (thick plate). You didnt specify whether you have standard or double plate but 20 gr of 296 under a 125 should be giving you well over 1200 fps so you might wanna double check that and keep your loads within the max velocity. In 9mm major I drove some 124's at about 1375 and they came apart and tumbled. Also I always had better accuracy with 296 vs 2400 in all my .357 Magnum revolvers.
