Unfortunately, because of time constraints I wasn't able to chrono. +P and I did last time out and they shot well enough. Not the extreme heavyweight stuff, though. 45 ACP and 9mm while capable of duplicating performance of typical magnum revolver factory loads. Target accuracy at low and high pressure like. One of the reasons you've seen me recommend TB so much is because without a doubt it is the most pressure stable handgun powder I have ever used. He also recommends a magnum primer for all of the.357 Magnum loads, regardless of powder type. Typically what Steve did was list the lowest and highest charges he had come across in data at the time. 357 Magnum data out there, but it will probably be listed for WAP as is the case at Steve's pages. 357 Magnum cases just to get an idea about how it would do. Since I had both, he recommended True Blue, which I did in.

Silhouette is too position sensitive to work well in. Wadcutters and Semi-Wadcutters are great because the new shooter, and most others, are gonna love those nice round holes they cut in paper if Rob were here I can pretty much tell you what he'd say or will reinforce when he see's this, and it comes from several years past when we were discussing my short magnum project. The best way I know to get someone new started and very happy the first time out is with a low recoiling load that they can shoot accurately. Wadcutter, Button Nose and DEWCs are my favorite, quoting fromthe Winchester #15 load guide, the load range for WST is 2.5 - 2.7 grs. You probably have the plated, but poly-coated are still less expensive.

This also applies to barrels with polygonal bores like Glock, HK and Walther. With Unique or #5 I'd probably start mid-range from the data you're using.Īctually, Poly-Coated bullets are the best way to eliminate the Fouling/Leading as well as lead exposure issues of swaged and cast lead bullets, even when the bullet isn't. Like DC said, Unique is probably used more than any other and AA #5 will burn just a bit slower but Western gives specific data for plated bullets. TiteGroup in this case and it's only one of a few calibers where I'd recommend it, but I believe low pressure loads are its best application. From the 3 remaining, as far as light loads, a faster burning powder is more likely to be in an optimum pressure range. Taylor, you can use any of the powders you listed except that I would only use Silhouette for +P loads.
