I shot 7 grains of Unique behind #358429 in a magnum case and it was all a model 19 Smith could stand. It resulted in extremely flattened primers and cratered firing pin hits with breech face imprints in the brass and hard case extraction from the cylinder. So hard in fact, that I had to bump the extractor rod on the bench top to get them out. My loading note book remarks say DO NOT DUPLICATE!!! I didn't load any more of those.

If you are interested, here are his actual loads. Click here -->> http://www.darkcanyon.net/MyFriend_The357.htm

I only have these two of his books because as far as I know, these are the only two that he wrote. They are listed for sale on Amazon for about $130.00 dollars each for new hard backs. I don't remember what I paid for these, but they were expensive even 25 years ago.
