Going to try W296 for some 357 158 gr rounds
Hi - I’m about to load some 357 magnum rounds for my new Rossi R92 16” 357. I normally use 2400 for 357, but I ran out and will use W296.
The Hodgdon site shows a range of 15.0 to 16.7 grains of W296 for a 158 gr HDY XTP bullet — however I’m using cast 158 gr powder coated boolits, and not sure how that affects the load data.
I’m thinking that 15.8 grains of W296 would be a good starting point. I’m priming with CCI 550 Magnum primers.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks
W296 -158 gr lead bullet. Mag primer Required.
This is the original Win data 14.5 grs - 296- 158 gr lead.
