Home Forums Reloading Handgun Reloading .357 velocities

I've had great luck with lil gun in my 4.2" barrel sp 101. Easy 1200 fps using 180 grain swift a-frames. I stopped at 1200 fps over the chronograph, working up a load.

The fired cases using the lil gun handloads don't get stuck in 5 shot cylinder, like the buffalo bore 180 grain stuff, which they probably used a heavy load of h110

I dunno how much more velocity a feller might need, 1200 fps was enough to drive a 180 grain swift a-frame clear through the neck of a large bull moose. Bullet found against off-sife hide:
