Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 357 loads

What is your goal for the load? Hunting? Practice? Plinking?

For general practice and plinking in my Security Six and Uberti's I load 5.5 grs. of Unique and a cast 158 gr. SWC. Velocity is a little over 1000 fps and accuracy is 4" - 5" @ 75 yds.



I personally see no need in shooting expensive jacketed bullets in revolver calibers when commercial cast bullets cost about 1/2 of what a jacketed bullet does.

If you're wanting to hunt with the load, I used to load that exact bullet (before I took up casting) over 15.0 grs. of 2400. That's a fairly spicy load, but the Security Six's are tough revolvers.
