My Taylor's Trapper Skinner 1892 Clone in 357 mag, with 16" barrel has two loads: Hornady 158 grain XTP-FP with 16.2 grains for Lil Gun for 1760 FPS from the rifle, as my general purpose load for both rifle and revolver (about 1250 FPS from my 3" GP100). Or a Rim Rock 170 Grain Cast-GC LBT RNFP with the same 16.2 grains of Lil Gun for 1645 FPS, from my rifle only. Both use Starline Brass, CCI 550 SP mag primers, and COAL 1.580". Either will kill a deer or a small hog inside of 100 yards.
I've gone as high as 17.5 Grain of Lil Gun under the 170 gr Rim Rock for 1806 FPS, but I prefer the lighter load. However, if bear was on the menu I'd use the heavier load.
